1930 Ford Model A Chopped 5 Window Coupe with a four-inch chopped top and a rumble seat. All the hard work has been very nicely done. Brand new Model A boxed frame that was made for a Model A. It has a new nine-inch Ford Rear End with new axles less center section, but has brand new coil over shocks and a four-bar rear end. See pictures. This car was a running, driving Henry Ford Model A in 2006. Then the gentleman I bought it from decided to give it some updates. He bought the brand new frame, chopped the top, did all the metal work to the car including all new floors and fire wall. You are welcome to come see the car before the end of the sale. I am in Des Moines, Iowa 50321. Just give me a call at 515-250-9293. The body on this car is very, very nice and straight as you can see in the pictures. The top has been filled in, the doors open and close very nice. The top needs finish welding. The body is bolted to the frame. I have most of the garnish moldings including windshield and frame, but they need to be chopped down. Very nice original seat. You can see all this in the pictures. This car has a brand new Super Bell Speedway four-inch dropped front suspension that has eleven-inch brakes and the I-Beam has been drilled. The four bars in the front need extended a few inches, but this front end is brand new in 2014. It also has a 1932 Ford metal dash. New Vega Steering box. Really nice tires and rims to give it that nostalgia look. This car has been mocked up only for Chevy motor and tranny that do not go with the car. After the car is paid in full I can possibly deliver for an agreed upon price on a weekend. As I said before I am in Des Moines, Iowa 50321. So please give me a call any time at 515-250-9293. Thank you.

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Now you can 3D print your favorite new Ford

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Ford is letting people build their own cars, offering digital files so people can print 3D versions of their favorite models. This is way cooler than any old Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy. Ford this week started offering printable files for the F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST. Folks can order the 3D models in 1:32 scale in plastic (that'd make the mighty large pickup truck about eight inches long) but the digital files let users tweak the scale to the their liking. Once people have the digital files, they can print out their own miniature versions of the cars, made out of soft plastics, sandstone, and even some metals. Ford says it expects demand for such files to grow as sales numbers for desktop 3D printers surges to 1 million units in 2018. That's up from about 44,000 last year. Ford already offers digital files for its company logo, the 1.0-liter engine block, and two older Mustang models. But these new models take this to a totally different scale. Check out Ford's press release below. PRINT YOUR FAVORITE FORD VEHICLE AT HOME: FORD FIRST AUTOMAKER TO OPEN ONE-STOP 3D SHOP ONLINE - Consumers can now download digital images and 3D-printable files of Ford vehicles at the first-ever automaker-licensed, one-stop 3D shop online - The Ford 3D Store offers printable files of F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST; more models will become available later - Online store is powered by TurboSquid.com, the leader in providing automotive digital imaging and 3D-printable files Want to 3D-print a Shelby GT350R at home? Or would you prefer to simply purchase an F-150 Raptor 3D digital image for a presentation? How about both? Ford fans can now download digital images for Ford vehicles at the first-ever, automaker-authorized one-stop online store for 3D-printable vehicle files. The Ford 3D Store, 3d.ford.com, allows customers to use advanced technology to make their own models of Ford vehicles of the size and material they desire, or simply opt to purchase a 3D digital file from a growing library of more than 1,000 Ford images. "3D printing at home is a growing trend, and it makes sense for us to offer our customers a chance to make their own 3D Ford models," said Mark Bentley, licensing manager, Ford Global Brand Licensing.

Ford GT racer sounds wicked during testing at Sebring

Mon, Aug 31 2015

The Ford GT racecar is still deep in development ahead of a much-anticipated trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year. If the sound in this clip is any indication, the honing of this racecar is going quite well. Like any proper racer, you hear the GT rumbling well before it enters frame, but then the beauty comes into view at Sebring with a massive rear wing and an even bigger diffuser. Rather than an ear-piercing shriek, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost in the GT sounds like a grumbling monster. The previous development video from Ford Performance hints at this angry exhaust note, but it's on full display here. Thankfully race fans around the world get to hear this wonderful noise when the GT hits the track next year. Two of them are competing in the United SportsCar Championship, and two more are in the FIA World Endurance Championship. All of the members of this quartet are also lining up at Le Mans, too. Hearing them making this wonderful growl together should be a major highlight of motorsports in 2016. Related Video:
