1931 Ford Model A Pickup

You are looking at a great little rod built in the mid to late 1960’s East Coast style. It is a steel 1934 Ford cab sitting on a TCI Model A chassis. It has a heavy 6” channel and no chop. 4" drop I-beam front axle. The cowl vent was welded shut and a mock gas cap welded in place to make it look like a Model A. The bed is bobbed with a canvas tonneau cover covering the 17 gallon fuel tank and battery. The cab and bed were built and painted in the 1970’s and has a great patina that fits the truck perfectly. Exterior pinstriping has been done on the firewall, around the mock fuel filler, and tailgate.

· The Chevy 350 was rebuilt by CPR Performance Parts in West Columbia, SC and has an estimated 380HP. The Accel coil sends spark to a small cap HEI distributor. The intake is period correct, polished Weiand tunnel ram with a pair of Holley 450s mixing things up. There is a small Stewart Warner oil pressure gauge near the distributor. A pair of K&N velocity stacks add a little extra shine to the top of the motor. Finned valve covers help keep the period look. The truck runs around 190 degrees F (even in traffic) and around 70-80 lbs of oil pressure consistently.

· All of this power is mated to a TH400 with a manual valve body and shift kit. Gears are selected with a Lokar floor shifter. As you press the accelerator the spent gasses can either be routed through the 2 turbo mufflers under the truck or you can take the caps off the LakeStyle headers. One ride with open headers will give a smile that lasts for hours! Going fast is one thing, but stopping is another. If you can’t control the power what good is it? Power front disc brakes handle most of the “whoa” duties while the Ford Ranger rear end has drum brakes. It has an e-brake cable that reaches to the cab, but has not been hooked up. The truck rolls on a set of old school 14” Cragar S/S rims.

· The inside has a custom bench seat made from a stretched school bus seat and covered in white roll & pleat vinyl with red piping. There are 6 white faced Classic Instrument gauges in an overhead console. Turn signal/high beam indicator lights and the headlight switch are housed overhead also. The truck was wired from scratch with a fuse box under the dash. Tasteful pinstriping has been done on the smooth 1934 fiberglass dash and the overhead console.

· Much of the work was completed by Hot Rod Fabrication in Lexington, SC and I have a stack of receipts from the build. The "Buy It Now" price is less than I have in it. The truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. $1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction ending. The port of Charleston, SC is only 2 hours away for overseas shipment. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I will be happy to work with the winning bidder's shipping company. Don't bother bidding if you have a poor e-bay rating. I encourage prospective buyers to ask questions and inspect the vehicle in person or by your representative prior to the end of the auction. You can call me at (Ate Oh Tree) Sicks Oh Ate - Fife Fife Too Niner (no texts) with any questions or more picture needs.

Bomb threat closes Ford Romeo Engine Plant [UPDATE]

Thu, Jul 30 2015

UPDATE: Ford has released the following statement about what's happening at the factory: "The Ford Romeo Engine Plant was reopened at 12:47 PM after law enforcement investigated and cleared the site. The afternoon and evening shifts are expected to report at their usual start times. Further questions on the investigation by law enforcement can be directed to the Romeo Police Department." Due to a bomb threat, Ford has evacuated its Romeo Engine Plant, and law enforcement is on the scene. According to the Detroit News, police with bomb-sniffing dogs are searching the building, which covers over 2 million square feet. Ford spokesperson Mike Moran wouldn't disclose to Autoblog how the threat was received but said that it came in between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Eastern on July 30. "The day shift was sent home," he said. According to the Detroit News, the second shift was also asked not to come in. About 500 people work at the plant, Moran indicated. At this time, Moran said that there hadn't yet been an update from law enforcement whether anything had been found in their search. The Romeo Police Department confirms to Autoblog that it's handling the investigation. However, the authorities wouldn't comment further about what is happening at the plant at this time.

Ford’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch win the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year award

Thu, Dec 1 2022

The 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year award goes to Ford for the Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch hauling and towing features found in the F-150 lineup. This new technology, as tested in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, is a boon to pickup truck owners. Not only will it make observing your truck’s maximum loads easier and more intuitive, but it will also ensure youÂ’re hauling and towing in the safest-possible manner. We began the process with a long list of features to test and whittle down. Technologies like MercedesÂ’ new electric turbocharger, GMÂ’s Super Cruise with added towing capability and many more went through the consideration process, but we finally whittled the field down to just three finalists. They are: the GMC Hummer EV with its flashy CrabWalk four-wheel-steer technology, the Genesis GV60 with its facial recognition/fingerprint start technology, and of course FordÂ’s trucking gear. As is the norm for our Technology of the Year award, three main questions are asked, and editors assign point values based on how well the technologies perform in testing. How significant is this tech? How well does it work? And new for this year: Consider the Wow Factor. With the scores tallied, the Ford tech earned 123 points, topping the Hummer (117 points) and GV60 (108). This is the second straight win for Ford, which won the 2021 TOY Award with its Pro Power Onboard charging feature.Â Ford joins Tesla (2014, 2016) as the only two-time winner of our Tech of the Year Award, which dates to 2013. Kia, Cadillac, Tesla, BMW, Chevy, Chrysler and Audi technologies are among the previous winners. 2022 Technology of the Year testing View 16 Photos While systems that tow and haul may not seem to be the latest or most sophisticated tech, they remain essential and Ford uses things like the infotainment system, taillights and the Ford mobile app to create a forward-looking experience Henry Ford would never have dreamed of when the first Model Ts were outfitted with beds for farm and war duty in 1917. Even 10 years ago, integrating tech in this manner would have seemed futuristic, but Ford pulls it off. Â“FordÂ’s clever towing and hauling features earned our award this year because they are easy to use, easy to understand and simply make your life as a truck owner better,Â” Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore said. Â“It was a competitive field this year, with HummerÂ’s CrabWalk and GenesisÂ’s Biometrics features both winning strong support.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
