I am selling my all steel 1927 coupe. It is chopped 6" with a 53' chevy roof filling the top.(old school trick) Just a cheap rattle can paint job to achieve the traditional look. It has glass windshield and 1/4" plexi-glass quarter windows and back window. There is no glass in doors but I have working regulators in doors. The doors are in pretty good condition. The trunk lid was fabricated from a replacement skin. The motor is an older G.M. 350 crate motor with a vintage Weiand cross ram with 2 Holly 450 cfm carbs. Vintage AFX valve covers and lake style headers. It has a Walker radiator. It has a turbo 350 automatic transmission and a 8" rearend. It has highway gears (not sure what) but it runs about 2800 rpm's at 70 mph. It is on a 2"x3" tube frame Speedway front suicide axle and disc brakes. Rearend has coils and shocks with hairpins to frame. It has King Bee headlights and 39' ford style taillights. All lights work properly. It has Stewart Warner gauges which all work properly. The master cylinder is under dash from an early Mustang. It has disc brakes in front and drum at rear. The battery is located in trunk and fuel tank is behind seats. The wheels are Rocket Racing Wheels with B.F. Goodrich tires from Coker. It has a Lokar shifter. I'm not sure what the seats are out of. (swap meet find). I have driven this car for the past 3 years to about 25 car shows per year. It runs cool in traffic and handles nice at highway speeds. My reason for selling is I want to get a Model A streetrod or a cool gasser. The car is for sale or trade locally and listing may end early.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
