Ford Roadster 1929 Hot Rod Pro Street Rat Rod Street Rod on 2040-cars
Ranger, Texas, United States
|
1929 Ford Roadster. 350 Chevrolet, 350 auto transmission, gray leather interior, fiberglass body, new custom frame, steel wheels, new tires, disc brakes front and rear, rack and pinion steering, chrome tilt wheel, extra interior material left over from the fresh build in the trunk. New battery located in the trunk. New reproduction plastic gas tank, new dual exhaust, and chrome floor shift. I bought this car a couple years ago from the original builder and have stored it in an enclosed race car trailer. I have only driven the car in a few parades, so it is still used very little. I listed the car with a clear title, but the car DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE. I had to put something in the listing, but it come with a Bill of Sale only, so do not expect a title with the car. Check your state's laws etc. on how to apply for a title. I just didn't take the time to apply for one. This is a ground up from scratch build with all new parts, frame, body, rack and pinion steering, etc. It was not built with junk parts and looks and drives great. The car is being sold AS IS with no warranty either written or expressed. You are welcome to come view the car in person, test drive it, kick the tires, crawl in it under it and then bid to own. The car runs and drives as it should, lights, turn signals, oil pressure gauge and water temp gauges all work. The speedometer shows only 11 miles since built, but the odometer and speedometer register slower than you are actually going, so it will need a different plastic gear on the cable running into the transmission. Fuel gauge and horn does not work. The horn was working, so it has to be a simple fix. The car is being sold locallyalso, so I will end the bidding if sold here, but once the reserve has been met on Ebay, it will sell on eBay. There is NO top. It is roadster and does not have any type of top at all. Both doors are functional and open and close easily. I am 5'10", weigh 210 lbs. and fit fine. There is room enough for two people and maybe one small child in the center. Bid to own and good luck. Ask any question you would like and I will answer. Shipping in the responsibility of the buyer. |

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
