A lot of newer
street rodders don't appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but
this one is sure to give them a run for their money. It is done in such a way as
to combine the two looks into one cool machine. The major difference is you can
get this one for a fraction of the price! A lot of the street rods around
nowadays are new age fiberglass but this one is an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body.
That means it was created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact
that it is still around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford
body is nicely mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for
the chrome spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the
addition of the 32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along
with the Ford logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in
bright yellow and is buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary
Larry West who designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Bird. When
we say this is a nostalgic old-school hot rod we should probably explain what
we mean. It's not that this car was done in this style recently. No. This style
actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the
late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building
"old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in
2011 and refreshed again in 2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle
frenched purple-dot taillights. The trunk utilizes all chrome hardware
including the hinges and is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around
on American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer
than 300 miles). And 4-wheel disc brakes added last year. 1956 CHEVROLET

REAR END DISC BRAKES Engine was torn-down
and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me,
both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be
replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild. The interior of the
car is nicely finished out with two Black bucket seats that are very
comfortable. The dash is topped with Stewart Warner wing gauges mounted in a
nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is mounted the Lokar shifter. An
aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in place with a nice chrome horn
button. To the column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should.
All of the rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone
through. So, what’s wrong
with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The
speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never
bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking
brake variety. This is NOT a
show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven and enjoyed. Cars of this age are not titled in Georgia where the car resides. It does have Texas title. I reserve the right
to end the listing prematurely since the car is for sale locally. Please do not
waste your time and mine with low-ball offers. PayPal $1,000 deposit within 2
days of a deal followed by a cashier’s check within 3 days for the remaining
amount. I will hold the car until the check has cleared. Delivery within 200
miles is negotiable. Bob 404-210-7753 |

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
Detroit Three to lose dominance of North American auto output in 2017
Wed, Sep 27 2017DETROIT — North American vehicle production by the unionized Detroit Three automakers will fall behind the combined North American output of Tesla and automakers from Europe and Asia for the first time this year, IHS Markit forecast on Wednesday. In 2017, the Detroit Three could build 8.6 million vehicles in North America, while Tesla and foreign automakers build 8.7 million, IHS Markit analyst Joe Langley said. By 2024, the gap will widen, with Asian and European automakers and Tesla combining to build about 9.8 million vehicles in North America. General Motors, Ford and the North American operations of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV will combine to build 8.1 million vehicles, down 6 percent from this year. Mexico is on track to increase its share of North American vehicle production, Langley said, moving to 4.5 million vehicles a year by 2024 from about 4 million vehicles currently. The milestone for the growth of Tesla and foreign automakers in North America comes as the Trump administration is pushing to limit imports of vehicles from Mexico in negotiations to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement. The declining share of North American vehicle production for the Detroit automakers also challenges U.S. and Canadian unions that represent their workers. Canadian workers are on strike at a GM factory in Ontario to protest the automaker's decision to cut jobs and move to Mexico some production of sport utility models built there. Foreign automakers over the past year have announced plans for a wave of new or expanded plants in North America, while Tesla is ramping up to build as many as 500,000 cars a year at its plant in Fremont, Calif. Often referred to as "transplants," the foreign-owned factories are poised to become the mainstream of the North American auto industry. Automakers are increasingly using factories in China or Mexico to build vehicles that used to be assembled solely in the United States, Langley said. He cited as an example Ford's decision to shift production of the Focus small car for North America to a Chinese assembly plant.
