What a great hot rod! I bought this 1931 Ford Model A Pickup truck about 3 years ago. And just have not driven it like I had planned so I’m selling it I purchased it out of Texas. This is not a camouflaged flat black hunk of junk rusty turd rat rod that was thrown together!!! This is a true hot rod stunner.

Although I didn’t do the work to it, it’s a newer build with less than 100 miles since the build was finished. The truck has a nice small block Chevy V8 and an automatic transmission, (looks like a turbo 350 to me, but not sure.) Lots of money spent on chrome. The frame has been boxed and channeled so it can handle the power of the Chevy engine. There’s no question this was a frame up restoration. It has Mustang II front suspension, custom built 4 link rear suspension, Front disc brakes and rear drums. It has new wheel Vintiques painted rally wheels with chrome centers and beauty rings. 15-10s in the rear and 14-7s in the front. The console and interior have been fabricated out of good ol all American steel, as opposed to glass. Lots and lots of hours and dollars have obviously been put into this build. If you have ever tried to build one of these things, you know how much work and $$$$$$$ it takes! (kinda like building a barbecue…don’t plan to build and eat on Father’s day!!) The truck is about 90% steel, with the front fenders being fiberglass. The truck has power brakes with the master cylinder and brake booster being under the floor (clean firewall!!!!). The wiring is all new with modern electronics, 12 volt alternator, and newer style fuse box.

The whole interior (dash, seats, carpet, and door panels), wheels, and tires are like new. The bed is gorgeous Oak with red metal accents and a custom wood box that houses the gas tank. With flat black paint with custom hand pin striping in cream and red, this truck pops. The pinstripes compliment the red interior nicely. A Tan soft top is included in this auction. I personally think it looks way cooler without it…and way more fun to drive. It is very easy for one person to take it on and off. Of course, no hot rod is complete without an “Oogah” horn. It’s stamped with a Ford Body number of A4700734. I know there’s a way to decode these but not sure how. (not my field of expertise)

There aren’t too many of these trucks around, and this one is a real head turner. Instead of wasting your summer on trying to build a hot rod, pick this up just in time for the show season!! The newer engine and transmission mean that it has a top speed over 46 mph… ha ha! (sorry flat head 4 cylinder) and it’s a pure joy to drive. Please don’t plan on flying in and driving to Maryland…the truck might make it but you won’t! These always need “tweaking” so plan to get it and adjust to your liking. I have driven this truck less than 20 miles in three years…hence I’m selling it. I have way too many hot rods and projects. The only things I have noticed, it may need to be serviced,(all fluids properly checked, as it has been sitting for a while) and I never have liked the shifter, I like to put Lokar shifters in all my hot rods. Texas clean title reads 1931 Ford PK. Don’t let this get away!!!!

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.

2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
