1931 Steel Ford Truck, Traditional Mid/late 60's Style, Bobbed Bed, Tci Chassis on 2040-cars
Lexington, South Carolina, United States
1931 Ford Model A Pickup
You are looking at a great little rod built in the mid to late 1960s East Coast style. It is a steel 1934 Ford cab sitting on a TCI Model A chassis. It has a heavy 6 channel and no chop. 4" drop I-beam front axle. The cowl vent was welded shut and a mock gas cap welded in place to make it look like a Model A. The bed is bobbed with a canvas tonneau cover covering the 17 gallon fuel tank and battery. The cab and bed were built and painted in the 1970s and has a great patina that fits the truck perfectly. Exterior pinstriping has been done on the firewall, around the mock fuel filler, and tailgate. · The Chevy 350 was rebuilt by CPR Performance Parts in West Columbia, SC and has an estimated 380HP. The Accel coil sends spark to a small cap HEI distributor. The intake is period correct, polished Weiand tunnel ram with a pair of Holley 450s mixing things up. There is a small Stewart Warner oil pressure gauge near the distributor. A pair of K&N velocity stacks add a little extra shine to the top of the motor. Finned valve covers help keep the period look. The truck runs around 190 degrees F (even in traffic) and around 70-80 lbs of oil pressure consistently. · All of this power is mated to a TH400 with a manual valve body and shift kit. Gears are selected with a Lokar floor shifter. As you press the accelerator the spent gasses can either be routed through the 2 turbo mufflers under the truck or you can take the caps off the LakeStyle headers. One ride with open headers will give a smile that lasts for hours! Going fast is one thing, but stopping is another. If you cant control the power what good is it? Power front disc brakes handle most of the whoa duties while the Ford Ranger rear end has drum brakes. It has an e-brake cable that reaches to the cab, but has not been hooked up. The truck rolls on a set of old school 14 Cragar S/S rims. · The inside has a custom bench seat made from a stretched school bus seat and covered in white roll & pleat vinyl with red piping. There are 6 white faced Classic Instrument gauges in an overhead console. Turn signal/high beam indicator lights and the headlight switch are housed overhead also. The truck was wired from scratch with a fuse box under the dash. Tasteful pinstriping has been done on the smooth 1934 fiberglass dash and the overhead console. · Much of the work was completed by Hot Rod Fabrication in Lexington, SC and I have a stack of receipts from the build. The "Buy It Now" price is less than I have in it. The truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. $1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction ending. The port of Charleston, SC is only 2 hours away for overseas shipment. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will be happy to work with the winning bidder's shipping company. Don't bother bidding if you have a poor e-bay rating. I encourage prospective buyers to ask questions and inspect the vehicle in person or by your representative prior to the end of the auction.

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood
Tue, 17 Jun 2014With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
