Olathe, Kansas, United States

Up for auction is a T Bucket Roadster.  I am selling this car for a friend that inherited it from his grandfather.  This car is titled as a "homebuilt".  It began construction in 1966 in Southern California and is titled as a 1966. My friends grandfather purchased it in the late 70s and owned it until he passed a few years ago.  In the early 90s, he had the car repainted and a new interior installed, both are still in excellent condition.  The last upgrade that he completed was in the late 90s when he converted the front drum brakes to discs. It is powered by a 1958 Corvette 283 with a turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission and a 9" ford posi trac rear end.  It is a fiberglass bucket with steel tube frame.  I'm not sure what the gear ratio is, but the car is very driveable.  It has an electric fuel pump and internally regulated alternator.  It has a Holly Street Dominator intake mankifold and the factory corvette valve covers.  The odometer shows 25,727 miles, but I can not guarantee the accuracy.  The engine and trans have no leaks, but the rear diff has a very slight leak, common problem with 9" Fords.  The emergency brake is a drive shaft mounted disc brake with a pull handle in the floor.  Front suspension is all chrome, in excellent condition with the inverted leaf spring.  Rear suspension is the same inverted leaf spring with air shocks that are good.  The dash has a fuel gauge, amp meter, temp, oil pressure and speedo, all work.  When he decided to sell the car, we installed a new battery and a new carburetor, Edelbrock polished.  We replaced one brake line and flushed the brake system.  The header side pipes have baffles in them, so it is not incredibly loud, but it does thump!  I am located in Olathe, KS, southwest side of Kansas City and will show the car any time.  The car runs and drives great and is absolutely an "Old School hot rod".  I am selling this car with no reserve, It will sell!  Please ask questions early so I have time to provide adequate answers.  I can provide additional pictures if you like.  I will require a $500 deposit through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auction end and the balance paid in cash or cashiers check within 7 days.  I will assist with loading if you have the car shipped and I can store the car for up to 14 days.  If you need additional terms, please have those agreed upon prior to acution end.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
