1927 ford hot rod roadster . this is a fresh build with less than 500 miles on it . it has a 1966 283 SBC motor with lots of vintage speed equipment. 2 holley ford script carbs on top of the vintage speed adapter mounted to the early edelbrock TM1 mid rise intake . cal custom finned valve covers , edelbrock aluminum water pump , lots of CHROME (pulleys) and high volume mellings oil pump inside the CHROME oil pan , engine makes awesome oil pressure and is tight and trouble free.there is an early black top mallory dual point unit for ignition . there is a brand new CHROME powermaster high output alternator and a set of brand new polished stainless steel lakes style headers . TH 350 trans has a nice shift kit in it and shifts hard like it is supposed to ! there is a new CHROME lokar tall nostalgia shifter mounted to the trans . the front suspension is a CHROME dropped tube axle with CHROME spindles and CHROME shocks with CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums attached to a CHROME spring with CHROME steering arm and CHROME tie rod and CHROME hairpin radius rods . the rear suspension is CHROME coil overs mounted to a CHROME 57 chevy rear end with CHROME hair pin radius rods and CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums . you get the theme here ???....THIS CAR HAS SHOW CHROME EVERYWHERE the body is a deluxe body from speedway with a functional driver door . we installed a wood and steel skeleton in the body to prevent it from moving around at all and this body is tight . the windshield stanchions are polished aluminum smoothy units from speedway and the glass is a light tinted bronze to go well with the creamy wimbledon white paint on the body . the interior is heavy commercial grade black marine vinyl professionally installed ina real cool custom pattern that screams 60's show car with the bottom half being pleated and the top being smooth and the same theme brought into the seat pattern but flopped like they did it back in the day . all stainless marine quality fasteners were used to install it and it really adds to the overall look of the car .
this car gets a ton of attention , Chuck Vranas from street rodder magazine was shooting pics like crazy at the last show it was at . it will most definitely be seen in Street Rodder magazine when the show coverage from the Syracuse nationals is published in the mag. there were people crawling around under this thing and going crazy looking at all of the CHROME at the show . killer car at a killer price , you could not buy all of the parts used on this car for the reserve price . try paying some one to prep and chrome a 57 chevy rear end . HUH !!! that alone would be close to 3k drums and backing plates as smooth as a babies bottom would cost close to 1k to chrome etc.etc. there is over 5k in chrome alone here .there is countless hours of prep work in these parts to chrome them making it nearly un affordable for most people but the guy that originally chromed these parts owned a chrome shop in western NY so money wasn't an issue as far as that goes . good luck and happy bidding . i will send by text or email any additional pics that you may want or discuss any details of this build with anyone interested , just message me here with your phone number and i will call or text you as soon as i get a chance . i am not interested in low ball offers this a cool car to be stuck with for a while so i am not going to entertain any ignorant offers at all . i would consider swapping equal value hot rods so if you have an offer send me info to striptzer at g mail
thanx

For EV drivers, realities may dampen the electric elation
Mon, Feb 20 2023The Atlantic, a decades-old monthly journal well-regarded for its intelligent essays on international news, American politics and cultural happenings, recently turned its attention to the car world. A piece that ran in The Atlantic in October examined the excesses of the GMC Hummer EV for compromising safety. And now in its latest edition, the magazine ran a compelling story about the challenges of driving an electric vehicle and how those experiences “mythologize the car as the great equalizer.” Titled “The Inconvenient Truth About Electric Vehicles,” the story addresses the economics of EVs, the stresses related to range anxiety, the social effects of owning an electric car — as in, affording one — and the overarching need for places to recharge that car. Basically, author Andrew Moseman says that EV life isn't so rosy: “On the eve of the long-promised electric-vehicle revolution, the myth is due for an update. Americans who take the plunge and buy their first EV will find a lot to love Â… they may also find that electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom, including how much car your money can buy. "No one spends an extra $5,000 to get a bigger gas tank in a Honda Civic, but with an EV, economic status is suddenly more connected to how much of the world you get to see — and how stressed out or annoyed youÂ’ll feel along the way.” Moseman charts how a basic Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck might start at $55,000, but an extended-range battery, which stretches the distance on a charge from 230 miles to 320, “raises the cost to at least $80,000. The trend holds true with all-electric brands such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid, and for many electric offerings from legacy automakers. The bigger battery option can add a four- or five-figure bump to an already accelerating sticker price.” As for the charging issue, the author details his anxiety driving a Telsa in Death Valley, with no charging stations in sight. “For those who never leave the comfort of the city, these concerns sound negligible," he says. "But so many of us want our cars to do everything, go everywhere, ferry us to the boundless life we imagine (or the one weÂ’re promised in car commercials),” he writes. His conclusions may raise some hackles among those of us who value automotive independence — not to mention fun — over practicalities.
Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
