1930 Ford Pickup on 2040-cars
South Pasadena, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1930 (technically registered as a 1929) Ford Roadster Pickup hot rod. The car was originally built by Hollywood Hot Rods for the La Carrera Pan Americana Race, but we raced a different car at the last moment. Subsequently we removed the roll cage and totally re-did it as a street roadster with all the work completed by Bata Mataja (see google search). It is about five years old and has maybe 2,000 miles at the most with no racing.
The engine is a 276 Cubic inch Ford flathead built by Howard Allen with S.C.O.T blower and Ardun Overhead built by Don Ferguson. Hunt electronic ignition. Custom made headers. Oil cooled radiator. Two rebuilt 2-Jet Rochester carburetors. (This is basically the same engine (his has more bottom end strengthening, higher compression, fuel, etc) that Don Ferguson runs in his Bonneville car that exceeds 300 MPH. It is coupled to a T-5 Five speed transmission, aluminum drive shaft to a Speedway Engineering quick change rear end. Brakes are Wilwood discs front and rear with bias control. Wheels are aluminum knock-offs shod with 7:50 X 18 Dunlop racing tires in the rear and 6:00 X16 Excelsior racing tires in the front. It includes a spare set of six aluminum knock-offs shod with Toyo road racing tires. Dropped tube front axle. The chassis is the size and shape of a '32 Ford but made entirely of chrome molly tubing. Suspension is torsion bar front and rear with adjustable (both up and down) high performance shocks. The front has an anti-sway bar. The body is a 1930 Brookville body and bed modified. Please note the cowl, windshield, dash board modifications and the bed has been widened. The grill shell is Whippet, with the huge radiator in the rear bed with a high performance fan. Runs cool -- necessary for Mexico! The grill mascot is a 1030's European (Brunswilk) bronze monkey. The fuel tank is custom made Fuel Safe with racing bladder. The gauges are early Stewart Warner with copper plated bezels. All of the instruments work and were rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer. The three stem switches custom made are for the horn, blinkers and lights. Ignition, starter button and fan switch are under/behind the custom dash. The steering is Schroeder, with a quick release wheel. Interior is old canvas and leather (rough side out). The body is painted air force blue and distressed. This is a very quick car and those of you who have not driven a high performance flathead with blower and Ardun overheads will be quite surprised at its torque and horsepower. The parts alone are worth more than the starting bid. Selling to make room for new acquisition. Good luck bidding. I have additional photos if you are interested. |

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
