I-beam axle.

were replaced during build as well as the wood kit.

chop work was T.I.G. welded.

insert with Pontiac Starchief star emblems.

cover.
The metal seat wrap was the rear seat from a 1934 Chevrolet sedan sectioned
to fit the coupe.

installed and tuck nicely behind the seat cushion when not in use.
1934 International dash fitted with BEEDE 5" speedo and cluster
gauge.
CD player is hidden under the dash on the passenger side in a custom hinge
that latches with an old seat belt latch
to keep it neat and clean at the shows but still have some tunes.

Custom made 15 gallon gas tank mounted behind the seat with the filler neck
in the trunk. Tank also fitted with vent and roll over valve.
Red top battery mounted in the trunk still as dependable as it was 15k
miles ago.
Tires are newer (about 200 miles on them) Firestone 8.20 - 15 and the
fronts are Firestone 5.60 - 15. Front need to be replaced.
Note: if auction goes over 15k for the selling price I will put brand new
tires on the front before shipping the vehicle.
Here's the bad: Took some rocks on the visor driving on the highway that
cracked the paint.
Paint is older so it's not trophy winning show quality but good for a
driver as it was intended.
Body has full glass with functioning door windows and the windshield slides
"A/C" work great. Windshield has very minor pitting from driving but doesn't
impair view.
Note: Year of manufacturer license plate is not included in the sale. Ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees associated. On Jul-10-14 at 15:22:30 PDT, seller added the following information: Note: I just went on a test drive with a local interest and the oil pressure sender stopped working. I mechanically checked the oil pressure and it still shows about 40 psi. So it will neede a new electronic sensor. |

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.  In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
