This is a project that needs finishing and has no title but will provide a bill-of-sale. It is about 85 percent finished. Has a custom frame made out of 2x3 square tubing that is Z'd up in the back to a Model T crossmember. The front axle is original with split wishbones and a spring behind the axle. It has 40's front drums and backing plates. The rear is a 8" Ford with a Model A spring and split wishbones. There are no brakes up front but the back has all new wheel cylinders and pads and has a master cylinder mounted on the frame with a brake line ran along the frame to the back just needs fluid and bled. Has gas line and battery cable ran along other side of frame to the back just needs hooked up. Has a Corvair steering box and a new speedway column and u-joint. The wire wheels are 30's model with new tires on back and front tires are in good shape with plenty of tread. The motor is a rebuilt 327 Chevy with Vortex heads, aluminum intake with a 650 Holley Carb. The tranny is a rebuilt power glide and both motor and tranny has NO MILES on them. The Army Jeep gas cans are the gas tanks they just need plumbed to each other and the wood ammo box is for the battery/storage as is the two lower ammo boxes. Has a Army trailer tail light. The body and frame is primered satin black and the firewall, wheels and suspension is painted satin green. What it needs to finish is a wiring harness, head lights, seat brackets, drive shaft tunnel, steering column drop and a shifter. I have a brake and gas pedal that goes with the car, they just need to be installed. Needs a grill shell but I have a Mustang style radiator to go with it. The floor and body still needs to be bolted to the frame. The motor needs a water pump, fan, alternator, distributor and wires to get it running. For more info, please contact me at 512/844-9406. Serious inquiries ONLY.....no dreamers.

Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
