I bought this car about two years ago in Louisiana and started gathering parts to put it together, it has now sat for a long time and doesn't seem to be moving. I could use the money elsewhere, so I am putting it out there to see if someone else can finish it off and enjoy. When I got the car, it came with tons of parts, all of which are laid out on the ground in the pics, MANY are brand new in packages, like a new dove radiator cap, new windshield wiper motor, new door handles, new body felt, new bumperettes, new rear view mirror, new handles for the rumble seat, new bumper steps for the rumble seat, new gauge bezel, and tons of other parts. All of the wood is there and in good shape. The seats that are in it are in good shape as well and could be used without changing the covers (if you like blue). I had a new frame built by Jim Weimer Rod Garage in Wisconsin and also ordered a four link kit from JWG, both seen in pics (still have the paperwork from Jim Weimer Garage). The frame is based on 32' rails, but they kick in at the back to accomodate a factory model a floor (this frame is seen on Jim Weimer's site). The floor on this car is nice with no rust or modifications and it would be a shame to cut it up to fit the rear of a 32 frame in it. I bought some other parts (engine, trans, blower, etc., that I am selling separately). I hate to sell the body, as it is the most solid Model A body I have ever seen. There is one small hole about the size of a pea onteh left quarter, and have a patch panel for it, although it just needs filling, I would not use a patch panel (came with car when I got it). The chop of the roof was done nicely and only need to be ground down and paint prepped. If you are looking to build one hell of a nice Model A without having to do tons of body work and rust replacement, this is it! The pictures show most everything I can think of, but it would be easiest to just give me a call and I can describe the car in full detail and answer any questions you have.

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters
Sun, 28 Sep 2014The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.
Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
