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 Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
