T-bucket Roadster on 2040-cars

Kalispell, Montana, United States

This is a '23 T-Bucket roadster but it's listed on the title as a 1913. I'm not sure when it was built. It appears to be a survivor form the 1970's or 1980's at the latest. It is a Total Performance chassis and chrome spring-behind front end. The engine is a early '70s 350 block. It has a 6 quart baffled oil pan, a balanced rotating assembly, hi volume oil pump, bow tie 2.02/1.60 angle plug heads with 1.6 ratio rolled rockers and a Weiand tunnel ram with two 450 Holley carbs.  The distributer is a Mallory duel point. The cam is a mild street cam. I'm not sure what it is. I've owned this car for 4 years. In that time I've been through it end to end. It has recent brakes, tires and AR wheels front and rear with 18.5 inch Mickey radials on the rear. The interior was done last fall by Ron at Loose Ends Upholstery in Kalispell Montana. The T-400 transmission was rebuilt last year by Bill Smith Transmissions in Bigfork Mt. The car weighs 1,850 lbs. so the horse power to weight ratio is really strong. This is a smokin' little car. It hooks hard and goes straight but it's very mild mannered around town. My wife drives it and loves it. The car won trophies three years running in the "Run to the Rockies" car show here in Kalispell Mt. I will not divulge the reserve price but it is WAY less that 1/2 what the car would cost to build.

The car comes with a soft top which is not currently on the car but is included in the sale.

If you have questions please ask before bidding. The car is for sale locally. Shipping and transport of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. I require a $1000 deposit within 24 hrs of auction end and payment in full within 3 business days. Thanx, 406-890-4286 Scott

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
