1927 Ford T Roadster Highboy on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
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.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
