1931 - Ford Model A on 2040-cars
Maxwell, Iowa, United States
This beautifully restored model A has the correct two tone green with black fenders finish, and Tacoma Cream wheels. Equipped with a grill guard, luggage rack and cowl lights this piece of American history is as fun to drive as it is to own! It also has the correct dark tan broadcloth interior and the brown leatherette rumble seat in perfect condition. This 1931 coupe delivers an authentic old car experience with a classic look that makes the Model A, a perennial favorite. This older restoration on this coupe still looks fresh having been driven low miles since it was finished. The tough little 201 cubic inch inline four cylinder performs well and the 40 hp will surprise you. It still has the original Zenith updraft carburetor and a standard generator that has recently been rebuilt. The cooling system has been flushed and all hoses and fan belt replaced. This car runs on 19-inch wire wheels that are correct and fitted with new 4.75/5.00-19 black wall tires. Also comes with dual spares mounted on the sides. Odometer shows 4,457 miles but unable to authenticate. Extras include: Otwell Engine Health Heater manifold, a spare tire mounted rear view mirror, and several service and owners manuals.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
