I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up.  I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod.  The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC.  The rest of the truck was build in CT.  The truck is all steel.  All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed.  The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs.  It also has tuned headers.   It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back.  The exhausts are new.  It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear.  It has coil over shocks on the back.  The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent.  It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread.  I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works.  Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment.  The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it.  Still using the original ignition switch.  Have installed a correct steering wheel.  The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine.  The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look.   The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper.   I have very recently added the cowl lights.  The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine.  I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night.  The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better.  There is an instrument panel overhead.  It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer.  In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player.   All the metal is good.  Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust.  The battery is in the yellow  "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed.  All the electronics work.  There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel.  The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there.  The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head.  Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console.  Each windshield wiper has its own switch.  The door handles are original.  They pull "to you" to open the doors.  There is an electric heater under the seat.  It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed.  It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good.  It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it.  (I don't.)  A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides.  It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can.  If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information.   Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron

Tue, Jan 3 2017

Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
