1929 Ford Model A Phaeton

Very Cool Car for sale here with a great story behind it.

This is an all original steel body and fenders that was purchased from an 88 yr old man back in 2003. He purchased the car in Nov. of 1954 and drove it home and parked it in his shed. The car sat there since as he started tearing it down to restore it. We have a lamenated copy of the title from when he purchased it where he never titled it in his name because he didnt wanna pay taxes on the car. Anyways the paint is the same color as it was when he purchased it. The fenders were took off and painted with a satin black. The car has a new interior, top and side curtains. New wiring harness from EZ wiring and new dolphin gauges as well. This car is very solid with no patch panels anywhere. It has very little rust and the little that it does have can be seen in the pics and the video that I made on the car.

Chassis:

The frame on the car has been fully boxed and painted with POR-15 Paint. It has a new superbell 4'' drop axle with a super glide spring, shocks and unisteer rack and pinion steering. Has 40's style brakes on the front and a Ford bronco rear end that has been 4-linked with QA1 coilovers. New tires all the way around even the spares on both sides are new.

Here is a link for the video of a walk around on the car and the engine running.

Engine:

Has a 305 chevy engine with a 700R trans and a Lokar 23'' shifter.

It has a New walker radiator as well.

This has been my dads hot rod for a while now but we have to many projects sitting around and need to move on to some others. When it was built he wanted a 60's style hot rod look. This car runs and drives great and has been taken on several 3+ hour long trips to rod runs in TN etc. It has been a great car and has never let us down or left us stranded. We have calculated the fuel mileage on these trips and it gets 19.5 MPG. It cruises great down the interstate at 70 mph with no problems. This car isn't cut up anywhere. This car has a clean and clear NC title in my dads name. It is also being sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. If anyone has any questions about the car we will be glad to answer them. I have tried to describe the car to the best of my ability. No trades we just want to sell the car. Any questions call or text Micheal 828-217-2546 or Larry 828-217-0799

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs

Tue, Feb 28 2023

The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.
