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!

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
