Up for sale is my prized 1929 Ford Model A Roadster Hot Rod. This car was built over a period of 4 years. Great care and attention to detail was payed to build a car that looked like it was built by a returning service member coming home from WWII. This car has a salt flats feel and is a blast to drive. It started life as a coupe but someone cut the top off years before I bought it so I turned it into a Roadster the correct way, paying attention to all of the details and sparing no expense doing it. The engine is a strong 355 sbc with 10:1 compression. The pistons are 11.8 domed Speed Pro units, with a forged crank and eagle rods. The transmission is a 5 speed out of a Camero. The Radiator is the best that you can buy, a Walker Radiator. The rear end is a ford 8" from a 1967 Fairlane. The wheels have all been powder coated and have great Coker rubber on them. They're 1932 Ford 18" rims out back and 1935 Ford 16" rims up front. The front brakes are 1940 Ford with drilled backing plates. The car stops very well. The front I-beam has been drilled too. All of the bright work on the car, such as the I-beam, split wish bones, backing plates, windshield frame, ect, has been nickel plated. The carpet is newer and is in great shape. The seat fabric is a black vinyl. The top is truly awesome looking! They are 1931 Deluxe Roadster top irons that were cut and reshaped to give a more aggressive look and get rid of the buggy appearance. New stained and polyurethaned wood top bows were also used and look great! All of the cars controls and switches are hidden under the dash to give it a super clean appearance. The top half of the hood was made into one piece and all fastens to the car with Dzus fasteners. The nickel plated lake headers exit thru the hood louvers trimmed out with custom stainless steel rings. The red used for the scallops is 1934 Chevy OxBlood Red. A great hot rod for the price. A nonrefundable $500 deposit is due 48 hours after the end of the auction via PayPal. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer. The vehicle will NOT be released until ALL of the funds have cleared via bank wire transfer or cash. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Thanks for looking!

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
