1930 Ford Five-Window Coupe "All Steel" car! "KRYPTONITE!" Please give all 100+ pics a chance to load, including the video... thanks! Fresh from the pages of Deluxe Car Kulture, Rod & Custom, and Rod & Kulture magazines, is this '30 Five Window ALL STEEL Street Rod. This 1930 Ford Five-Window is called "Kryptonite" in the show world, she's virtually a brand new build. Already in magazines and has won plenty of trophies.... 
This is an amazing car that was built by some very talented professional builders in Texas back in 2010. With only 1,500 miles, it is like a newly built car from the 60's that been fully sorted! That era was the inspiration for this awesome show winning coupe. Let's get to the technical details of this fine coupe: The steel body has been chopped 2.5", and channeled 6" inches giving it that BITCH'N stance! It has a one of a kind, hand fabricated firewall, a full metal roof skin, a very 60's inspired dimpled and drilled visor (which is completely molded into the body), and a cool motorcycle gas cap. The Radiator shell is from a 32 Ford and it has a handmade grille insert. I still have all the door pulls if you like that looks, I didn't care for it that much. The custom Candy-apple Green & Pearl White paint with custom scallops and pin stripes are ultra-show quality and is CRAZY eye popping! The killer pinstriping is buried deep in the clear coat, go ahead - wax it up, don't worry about distorting the stripes! I know you'd agree; the results speak for themselves. The motor is a classic early 60's Buick 401 "Nail-head" torque MONSTER V-8. Some features include a Drag Star long intake manifold, SIX Stromberg '97' carbs, and Sanderson lake headers (with baffles). The matching painted engine is dressed up with Fenton Valve and Sparkplug covers. Each carb has been adorned with matching air-cleaners (very Cal Custom!). The car sounds insane and runs fantastic! It's really not that loud when cruising. An MSD and Pertronix electronic ignition set up fires the powerful Buick mill. Other items include an electric fuel pump with kill switch, and a hidden battery kill switch that aids in theft prevention. A freshly built Buick Turbo 400 3-spd automatic transmission feeds the 80's monte SS GM 10 bolt posi rear end which is running 3:08's. Noting some of the detail in this car - the bell housing is even pin striped since you can see it from the top! Nothing was overlooked in this build... The modified Ford frame features heavily striped '32 rails, a front 4 link suspension, chrome shocks and a T-Bucket Style coil spring/shock setup is out back. The wheels are classic 15x5 and 15x8 chrome-reverse with cutom cone caps. They are wrapped in classic bias ply 6.40x15 Firestone wide whites in front with 8.20x15 wide white "cheater slicks" on the rear. The front brakes are DISC with Buick drum covers and chrome backing plates, the rear are heavy duty drums, GM std issue. The interior has some very unique touches. The aluminum bomber seats with engine turned seatbacks and custom fiberglass surround makes it truly one of a kind. I get comments on them ALL THE TIME! The seat upholstery is georgous - pleated pearl white vinyl, with matching door panels, headliner, and floor/kick panels . The metal dash is filled with real nice, vintage style gauges. The shifter is a custom Lokar unit. I can just imagine how much time and money went into this one of a kind rod. This final results screams 60's show car with the today's technology - it even has LED tail lights! NOTE - THIS IS MY PERSONAL CAR - IT'S NOT A CONSIGNMENT! It's titled in MY name and has a small loan on it, so JJ Best will need to be paid before they release the title. If you have any questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us. It's what I'm here for! I encourage prospective buyers, their buyer's agents or inspectors to come and see this car in person as pictures DO NOT do this car justice!

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
