1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup Rod
I’m selling this for a friend who doesn’t do E-bay. He recently purchased it and his wife said it has to go. This is a very professional build. There is no plastic, fiberglass or wood used in the build. It is all steel. This has been built to look like a 1950’s build - Old School but with some up grades. The convertible top can be easily removed, left folded down, or fits into a zippered boot (I didn’t take any pictures of it rolled up in the boot). The side curtains can be stored behind the seat. With the top up it does a pretty good job of keeping the weather out and there is a heater to keep you warm. There is no AC - you have to have the top down to keep cool. The lights and gauges all work properly. It has turn signals and several brake lights. The engine is a 400 Chevy and it sounds like it may have a mild cam. It runs excellent and has good oil pressure. The transmission is a Power glide F0T06GF. There are no oil leaks except for a drip or two out of the oil pan drain plug which can be easily fixed with a new gasket when the oil is changed. I drove this up and down the road several times and the auto transmission shifts smoothly and the car brakes and stops like a newer car. There are no power accessories. It has manual brakes and steering. It brakes easily but the steering takes a little effort when you are not moving. When your moving you can’t tell it doesn’t have power assist. There have been very few miles put on this since it was finished and I believe it was built just a couple of years ago. My friend who originally purchased it has only put about a hundred miles on it. I have all the original build information so there will be no problem trying to identify any of the parts that were used and there is also a photo album showing the build. The interior and convertible top are in like new condition. I can find nothing wrong with the car. The only things I could find that need improvement would be the drain plug on the pan and the windshield could use a seal on the bottom where it closes against the body as there is air leakage there when driving, only a problem if its cold out. It has passed the Texas safety inspection and has a clear Texas title. I can take more pictures if wanted and can probably answer most any questions about it. E-mail for my Phone number.

2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
