How about a nice, dependable street rod roadster pickup that gets back to basics?!? This is an original all metal truck, (with the exception of the drivers rear fender and removable upper hood section), that is about as basic as it gets! Basic Hot Rod Black, (semi gloss enamel) paint, that you don't have to worry about chips, scuffs, bugs or dust. Just a quick wipe down, or touch up with a Sharpie when you do spot a chip! No windows, no radio, heater or any power robbing accessories! (About the only accessory on the interior of this truck is the drivers side only wiper arm, which still requires you to operate it manually, and uses no power!) This truck comes equipped with a fresh 305 V-8 Chevy engine equipped with a tri-power set up, some additional chrome goodies, an automatic transmission and a Ford 8" rear end held in place with trailing arms, adjustable Aldan coil over shocks and a panhard rod. Block hugger headers on the engine, with full exhaust back to a pair of Smitty style mufflers to tail pipes that exit out the back just below the tail gate. The frame was supplied by Speedway motors, so no problems with a rusty, repaired, who knows how many times, frame. The front end has a dropped Speedway motors front axle with hairpin radius arms, with front disc brakes, rear drums, along with a Vega manual steering gear and a tilt column. Topping the column is a Speedway motors steering wheel that connects to the iconic 'Aoogah' horn. The Spartan interior includes a compliment of gauges in the center dash, as well as a Lokar floor shifter. The interior is done in a red and white tuck and roll style as well as red carpeting and a custom floor mat made of the same material. The seat back is removable with the back of the cab being padded and upholstered so that a tall person with longer legs can comfortably sit in the cab. These older Model A's seem to have been made for somewhat shorter people in the day! But I can still get my 6'2 265 lb. body in and out of the cab and still be somewhat comfortable! But I do look forward to getting out of the cab to fill up the 7 gallon aluminum fuel tank located in the bed atop the chrome diamond plate panel which replaces the original wood bed and looks quite nice. Big and little steel, two-tone painted wheels with trim rings and baby moon center caps, and BFGoodrich tires all around. 195-60-15 tires on the front and 275-60-15 tires on the rear. I do carry a nice compact spare, with jack and handle with me when going on a run out of town! (And an extra gallon of gas in the bed just in case!) Truck has a fully removable and folding convertible top that is in excellent condition. If you're looking for a nice Model A pickup street rod to just be able to take out and have fun with, and not worry about bugs, dirt or rain this just might be the truck you have been looking for!

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.

Marchionne open to combination with Ford or GM

Fri, Mar 13 2015

At the depths of the auto industry implosion, there was widely reported talk that General Motors and Chrysler would be merged into a mighty import-beating behemoth. While such notions clearly never materialized, that doesn't mean the idea is dead. In fact, FCA boss Sergio Marchionne still welcomes the idea of a partnership with either GM or Ford. He responded positively to the idea, calling it "technically feasible," when asked about it at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, Automotive News reports. "There's bantering that goes on all the time," Marchionne told AN, before quashing suspicions that a plan was in the works by adding that "nothing substantive" was going on. Our favorite black sweater enthusiast isn't quite as interested in the idea of teaming with a foreign manufacturer like PSA Peugeot Citroen, or in the rumored tie-up with Volkswagen, though. That is a shame, particularly in regards to Marchionne's shut down of a partnership with the French, although it isn't necessarily surprising – FCA already consists of eight automakers, and as Sergio told AN, there's really nothing at PSA that could help the company out. What are your thoughts? Is there an obvious project or segment that would benefit from an FCA partnership with Ford or GM? Have your say in Comments.

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.
