1929 Ford Roadster, Streetrod, Wescott Body,tci Frame, Disc Brakes, Auto, on 2040-cars
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!

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.
Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck
Thu, Aug 3 2017In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.
