Up for sale is an ALL STEEL body 1932 Roadster – Brookville Steel Body with Pete & Jake’s frame.  Just about everything on this car was bought direct from Mike Goodman with Honest Charley’s (what a stand up guy for those that know him, he sure knows how to build a Model A - http://www.honestcharley.com/ ).

-          - 32 Highboy Rails, Hairpins, Custom front rail with dust shield

Motor is a 2002 GM 350 V8 Vortec roller motor backed by a 621 bellhousing and a Muncie 3 speed transmission that was completely rebuilt by Danny Nelson with custom shifter and Ford V8 shift knob.  Fauxsmobile Valve Covers, Edelbrock aluminum intake topped with a Cadillac air breather and HEI distributor.  All new accessories and brackets.  Engine is cooled by a custom Walker radiator with electric fan and exhaust exits through Hedman headers and custom lake pipe exhaust with built in baffling which sounds awesome.   Fuel is fed from a custom in-trunk fuel tank with electric fuel pump.   

Wheels and tires were bought direct from Coker Tire and are 5.60-15 Coker Classics w/ 2.75” whitewall tires wrapped on the front 15” x 5” steelies and L78-15 Coker Classics w/ 3” whitewall tires wrapped on the rear 15” x 8” steelies.

Interior is a completely custom interior with all custom upholstery on a Glide Engineering contoured roadster reclining seat frame with flip up option (http://www.glideengineering.com/coupe,roadster.html). Hand stitched door panels, and retractable iron rail form fitted top.  Custom Honest Charlie’s polished steering column with a gorgeous Lecarra 1940 Ford wheel.  Complete EZ Wiring harness from front to rear.

This roadster was hand built in 2007 and titled in 2009 (clear NC title) Since completion the roadster has less than 300 miles on it.  Odometer reads 266 miles plus a few trips before hooking up the gauges.  Roadster starts right up on first crank and idles perfect.   This lightweight roadster is super dependable and very, very quick. 

Prefer to sell outright but would entertain partial trades plus cash.  I’m sure there are a lot of things left out as this was built with every nut and bolt brand new.  This car was built right with all top of the line parts (have almost all receipts kept in a binder…over 35K just in parts alone).  If interested please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.

2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
