Olathe, Kansas, United States

Up for auction is a T Bucket Roadster.  I am selling this car for a friend that inherited it from his grandfather.  This car is titled as a "homebuilt".  It began construction in 1966 in Southern California and is titled as a 1966. My friends grandfather purchased it in the late 70s and owned it until he passed a few years ago.  In the early 90s, he had the car repainted and a new interior installed, both are still in excellent condition.  The last upgrade that he completed was in the late 90s when he converted the front drum brakes to discs. It is powered by a 1958 Corvette 283 with a turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission and a 9" ford posi trac rear end.  It is a fiberglass bucket with steel tube frame.  I'm not sure what the gear ratio is, but the car is very driveable.  It has an electric fuel pump and internally regulated alternator.  It has a Holly Street Dominator intake mankifold and the factory corvette valve covers.  The odometer shows 25,727 miles, but I can not guarantee the accuracy.  The engine and trans have no leaks, but the rear diff has a very slight leak, common problem with 9" Fords.  The emergency brake is a drive shaft mounted disc brake with a pull handle in the floor.  Front suspension is all chrome, in excellent condition with the inverted leaf spring.  Rear suspension is the same inverted leaf spring with air shocks that are good.  The dash has a fuel gauge, amp meter, temp, oil pressure and speedo, all work.  When he decided to sell the car, we installed a new battery and a new carburetor, Edelbrock polished.  We replaced one brake line and flushed the brake system.  The header side pipes have baffles in them, so it is not incredibly loud, but it does thump!  I am located in Olathe, KS, southwest side of Kansas City and will show the car any time.  The car runs and drives great and is absolutely an "Old School hot rod".  I am selling this car with no reserve, It will sell!  Please ask questions early so I have time to provide adequate answers.  I can provide additional pictures if you like.  I will require a $500 deposit through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auction end and the balance paid in cash or cashiers check within 7 days.  I will assist with loading if you have the car shipped and I can store the car for up to 14 days.  If you need additional terms, please have those agreed upon prior to acution end.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
