Thanks for checking out my 1927 Ford Roadster Highboy. This has been a fun project and is getting close to finish but I am ready to move on to the next one if someone is ready to continue this one.

Drivetrain:

1948 Ford Flat Head V8

-Bored .030 over

-2 Carb intake

-Aluminum Offenhauser Heads

-Headers

-3 Speed Transmission on the tree

-New Starter

-New 3 Core Radiator

The Goods:

-Steward Warner Speed-O, Tach, Temp, Oil and Volt gauges

-Juice Brakes all around

-10 Gal Aluminum gas tank installed in Trunk

-Boxed Frame

-Deck Lid Replaced

-Back Panel Replaced

-New Seat Springs, frame and Upholstery top and bottom

-New Short Aluminum Windshield posts (No Glass)

-Brand new Bias Ply White Walls

The Bad... The Engine starts and runs great but there is water entering the exhaust port coming out of the right side header. It appears to be a hole in the water jacket in the block allowing the water to exit to the exhaust. The fix is to either find and repair the hole or just replace the Block which is my next move on this project if it does not go to the next garage (Yours). The body is not perfect by any means but it is a great start to a fun car. I am just testing the market right now unless it gets to a magic number ($ we all know everything has one $). Take a look at the pictures and feel free to give me a call with any questions you have. Happy Bidding!

Please note this is a 1927 Body Titled as a 1924.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
