1927 Ford Roadster (steel Body) on 2040-cars
Highland, Illinois, United States
I have a Steel 1927 Ford Roadster for sale. Chevy 454 Big Block, 350 Turbo Automatic Transmission, Ford Nine inch rear end with Detroit Locker. Body has been sprayed with Hot Rod Flatz Copper Pearl. Some patches have been welded in on the body, but body work was not finished out. Can see patches in pics. Has new gauges, but currently only Temp, Oil, and Voltage gauges are hooked up. Front wheels are vintage spindle mounts, so car only has rear drum brakes. Still stops ok, but I have considered installing front discs for added assurance. At one time, car did have a 4 speed in it, so there is a clutch pedal up under the dash still. Fast and fun to drive. Especially if you like topless cars! Clear IL title in hand in my name! E-mail with any questions. Selling due to lack of space and house needs work. No Shipping. Pick up only. Located approx. 45 minutes east of St. Louis, MO. |

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
