I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up. I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod. The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC. The rest of the truck was build in CT. The truck is all steel. All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed. The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs. It also has tuned headers. It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back. The exhausts are new. It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. It has coil over shocks on the back. The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent. It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread. I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works. Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment. The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it. Still using the original ignition switch. Have installed a correct steering wheel. The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine. The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look. The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper. I have very recently added the cowl lights. The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine. I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night. The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better. There is an instrument panel overhead. It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer. In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player. All the metal is good. Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust. The battery is in the yellow "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed. All the electronics work. There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel. The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there. The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head. Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console. Each windshield wiper has its own switch. The door handles are original. They pull "to you" to open the doors. There is an electric heater under the seat. It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed. It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good. It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it. (I don't.) A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides. It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can. If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information. Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going

Tue, 13 May 2014

Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
