1930 Ford Roadster Hotrod (original Henry Ford Steel, Like 1932) - No Reserve on 2040-cars
|
NO RESERVE PRIVATE AUCTION 2009 Grand National Roadster Show - Suede Palace Trophy winner ('Best Rod - Ruiz Pick'). Opening night (big annual event) El Cajon, CA, Classic Car winner. Note: trophies come with car. Vintage 50 year old hotrod that began life as a 1930 coupe converted to a roadster in the late 50's / early 60's. Comes with some old pictures, articles, and trophies as well as contact information to reach the original builder's family in Kansas - some famous ownership. Comes with early NHRA badge. Many vintage parts on car. Buggy type suspension with front drop axle, rear longitudinal springs. 352 Packard V8 had around 275-315hp stock. Transmission is also Packard and works well. I have enjoyed this car very much, but have decided to put my energy into a new project. Merry Christmas! Hope the best person wins it. A local San Diego hotrod shop has done the following work: Body was taken off frame 3 weeks ago and stripped to bare metal - mostly rust-free, with only a few small areas of rot (see pictures). Note body was once a coupe but was converted 50+ years ago. Engine was also dismantled weeks ago to put in new seals, but it was discovered that there was a repaired crack in the block (352 Packard V8). The repair was made with JB weld epoxy it is believed. The crack is not in a critical location and so it could be put back together as-is (ran well before) or you could have the block welded or replaced. Hotrod shop will put the engine back together for $250 or put the whole car back together for $1500 to 2000. They will also load the car on a trailer if preferred (car is still at hotrod shop.)

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
