Up for auction is my 1928 Ford roadster pickup. The car runs & drives great. I've driven it to car shows as far as 200 miles away. The car has a Blackboard Hotrods complete custom chassis. The cab is a mix of original & new sheet metal. The bed was made by Last Refuge Hotrods. The rear end is a 1969 T-bird 9" w/ Auburn Posi unit built by Currie Enterprises. the rear is hung with a triangulated four bar set up & polished aluminum Aldan Eagle coilover shocks. The front end is made up of MT Brakes 39 Lincoln backing plates, Buick polished 45 fin drums with Wilson welding adapters, a So-Cal forged drilled I-beam axle. Posi super slide spring, chrome Pete & Jakes shocks & Hairpin radius rods. The engine is a fresh Chevy 396 built by Paul Williams Motorsports. Built w/ Forged parts to add Nitrous Oxide if you choose. It has a chrome mini starter, custom Lakes style headers w/ baffles, Edelbrock endurashine Air gap manifold, Demon 650cfm carb, MSD Distributor & Coil, finned aluminum Valve covers & air cleaner. The transmission is a Corvette 700R4 rebuilt by Gil's transmission of Bakersfield. it is setup with a Bowtie Overdrives TV Cable setup. The radiator is custom built by Brass Works, The fuel is held by a original Model T with three gallons of storage added to the underside. The Gauges are SW Wings series & a Sun vintage style Tach. Steering is done with a Vega box & the front end has a panhard bar. The paint is Dupont Hot Hues YM166, which looks fairly dark until the sun hits it. The paint has a lot of gold micro flake & really pops in the light. The interior is butterscotch colored ultra-leather & was stitched by Bill Purkiser of Dave's Fabrication in Bakersfield. The Rocket wheels are wrapped with Hurst Radial Cheater slicks in back & firestone radials in the front. It took 3 years of nights & weekends to build this car. It is a total custom one off build. The car is highly detailed & well engineered. It always turns heads, wins shows & gets attention from the magazines. It is very fast & dependable. This is not a roomy car. I am 6' & 240lbs & drive it on fairly long trips but, the car is channeled & leg room is tight. If you are over 6' & like to drive long trips this probably isn't the Hotrod for you. The car is also for sale locally. Buyer is responsible for shipping or Pick up. I will haul to an over sea's shipper (long beach area only) for a $$$ fee. Good Luck & happy bidding!

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
