cond before the custom body work was done. It has an 8in chop with the
rear window being sectioned flipped and chopped 6in. the Visor is
completely custom made as is the windshield header panel and the
windshield still hinges and swings out. The roof is a custom cut Hickory
hand scraped hardwood floor. Mounted down with over 30 polished brass
acorn nuts. The cowl has also has a length of factory style hood welting
that has been laid in place with more polished brass acorn nuts and
house's the original 11 gallon gas tank. And to continue with the brass
theme both door handles have been buffed to remove most plating to show
there brass and copper construction and both radiator support rods are
polished solid brass. The radiator shell is from a 1924 Durant Star and
has been ornamented with the radiator cap topper from an 8n ford
tractor. The radiator is a new Champion 2 core aluminum and has a new
16in electric fan mounted to back side to keep the performance 350 Chevy
motor cool. The motor has a new water pump! New Fuel pump! New Hi
torque starter and a Mercruiser one wire hi amp alternator. The ignition
system is a new pro comp stand alone distributor with high voltage
coil. The plug wires are 8mm from summit racing. The Holley carburetor
is a 600 cfm and was rebuilt by us and works great. The new reproduction
caddy/olds air cleaner sets off the look of the motor off along with
the satin black Chevrolet tall valve covers. The exhaust is giving the
car that fast racing look! They are sprint car style headers and have
built in mufflers and are covered in a nice header wrap. Now for the
transmission. It's a Chevy turbo 350 with a 2400 stall convertor and
shifted into gear via a custom made shifter. (see pics) the rear end is a

made from sheet steel and have padded inserts. Now the Dash. This is a
rare part here! It is from a 1934 Huppmobile 3 window coupe model W136.
Few of these cars were made and even the fewer still exists. We filled
all the holes on the middle of the dash and moved the glove box door to
the left side of the car. Then we filled the factory holes in the center
of dash then mounted VDO classic style speedo/temp/oil pressure gauges.
There is a airplane style toggle for the ignition and a hidden key
switch under the dash beside the steering column. Mounted to the
steering column is the turn signal switch and horn button. All glass in
the sedan has been replaced with new laminated safety glass. All side
windows door and qrt glass still crank up and down. I am sure somewhere
in here I have forgot something so if u have any questions please just
ask! U can call or txt me at 260-715-188O.

Ford's Troller introduces even more rugged T4 SUVs in Sao Paulo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Bronco may be long gone from Ford dealerships back home, but down in Brazil its spirit lives on in the Troller brand. Founded independently in 1995, Ford do Brasil took over Troller in 2007 and has been teasing us with its rough-and-tumble SUVs ever since. So with the Sao Paulo Motor Show coming up, Troller has revealed this special version of the T4.
Looking even more rugged than the existing three-door sport-ute, this special T4 packs a snorkel, winch, upgraded bumpers and knobbier tires. We're not sure what to make of the "sophisticated" brown and tan paint job, but send it north and the Jeep Wrangler would have a new challenger on its hands... especially since the Toyota FJ Cruiser was discontinued.
Alongside the version seen here, Troller will also exhibit another T4 outfitted for rescue workers. Scope out initial details of both in the press release below, enclosed in both its original Portuguese and auto-translated into English.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
