1929 Ford Roadster BODY This is an extremely well thought-out, well constructed build. The Z24 350 Chevy V-8 with Jet coated Headers sends the power to the Ford 8" Currie rear via a 700-R4 automatic transmission. The 4 bar polished stainless front suspension is by Pete & Jake. The brakes are disc at all four corners, Radial tires are mounted on 15" front and rear polished American rims. The steering is Vega type with a Corvette steering column. Sitting on a 1929-32 Ford reproduction boxed chassis by Total Performance is a Wescott 1929 Ford Roadster body, finished in multiple coats of smooth deep Red basecoat/clearcoat paint. The fit and finish is up to above driver quality standards. The fabric top can be used up , folded down or easily removed with 4 bolts. INTERIOR Soft Tuck and Roll red and white leather, fitted carpet w / matching floor mats says to you to get in and enjoy the ride. The classic gauges all add to the overall ambiance. Notice the shifter, brake and gas pedal quality and location. The trunk opens up to reveal a fully finished look with a rumble seat that compliments the interior. This can be changed to a regular trunk. I have the painted frenched louvered hood sides but like with just the top on! The optima battery is hidden in a tray underneath the seat along with the fuse connections. DRIVING IMPRESSIONS Simply put, this roadster drives as good as it looks - not a small accomplishment in a Hot Rod. It is smooth, not choppy. It travels straight down the road, the transmission shifts perfectly. It has a very solid feel, no doubt a result of a first class build . The fitted carpet and matching floor mats are installed over layers of heat and sound deadening material so that there is no excess heat in the cockpit and no excess sound. The only sounds you hear are the throatiness of the exhaust system and the growl of those rear tires. There are no drivability issues! THE LOOK It's not easy for a Hot Rod builder to attain "the look" but this Roadster has it in spades. You gotta love this Hot Rod, it looks and sounds fast and mean standing still! And, oh yeah, everyone loves this car - lots of thumbs up and waves - smiles all around. But this car is not for the bashful type, not for someone who wants to fly under the radar. You will get noticed. OVERALL This custom built roadster, is only 5300 miles from new, and was built to drive, It is in very nice shape. It started life in 2011 . I am stating that it is a # 3 quality but it is much better. Simply put if you see this Roadster in person, you'll buy it. Check the component prices of this high caliber build and you'll realize the value - This car is proof that it makes economic sense to buy them finished. A sample of some of the items used in the build!

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Ford C-Max spot aimed squarely at Cadillac ELR 'Poolside' hubris [UPDATE]
Thu, Mar 27 2014If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
