1931 Ford Model A Hot Rod Rat Rod Project Chopped Channeled Low Custom Sedan on 2040-cars
New Philadelphia, Ohio, United States
1931 ford project. started out as a rust free cowl, front doors, and rear section from a four door. I didnt have the rear doors so i bought a set of 2 door sedan quarter panels from nebraska. This sedan is one of a kind(as far as i know, anyway) because the body is half murray and half briggs. note the small amount of metal behind the rear window as apposed to a normal model A sedan. Ive been building this car in my spare time for the last year in between other projects. Car has a rebuilt and perfect running flathead 6 out of a 1950 ford f1 matching 3 speed transmission has also been rebuiltis both by previous owner. rebuilt ford 9in rearend and 5 21inch modelA wire wheels all with brand new 0mile tires on them, theyve only been used to move the car in and out of the garage. chopped 4 inches and channeled 4 inches it sits pretty low. sectioned 1955 studebaker president dash. Doors open and latch nicely thanks to studebaker latches. steering wheel and seats are out of an antique boat,steering box is out of an old chevy truck it is sloppy but it does steer the car fairly well. lots of new speedway motor parts including front and rear springs,struts, bushings and shackles. Real modelA headlights and grill. This is a project and will need some time and money invested to get it on the road. The car will need all the wiring done: motor, headlights, dash, taillights etc. car will also need a complete brake system: master cylinder, brake lines, rear drums and shoes(see last photo), and shoes for the front, will need a radiator and glass. I have NO TITLE for this car but will provide a bill of sale. There is a clearance issue with the shifter/dash as seen in the pics. If you live close feel free to email me and set up a time to view it before bidding. I highly recommend viewing it in person to appreciate all the custom work that has been done. I wish i could finish this car but i have too many other projects and very little free time. Feel free to email me any questions or send me your cell number if you want to see a photo of anything specific.thanks for looking. buyer is responsible for shipping. i will gladly help load the car.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
