Documented History In 1957, Robert Anduha of Daly City, CA acquired this Three Window and did little with it, other than stow it away for 50 years! Included is the CA DMV registration with the 1957 date. In May of 2007, Pete Hansen of Cupertino, CA bought the Three Window from Robert. It was transported to Mike Sander's place in Morgan Hill, CA so the restoration could begin. Below is the only existing photo of Pete and the Three Window at Mike's place the day it arrived. Pete and Mike sorted through the car, and myriad original parts that came with it. They got as far as a running chassis and drive train. By 2011, Pete's project was no longer feasible for him. Mike was aware I was looking to buy a 1934 Three Window, so he gave me ring. In January of 2011, I acquired the car. The Build Upon inspection and purchase of the car, I was amazed at the fantastic condition the sheet metal was in. The body is excellent, near perfect. The bolt-on items such as fenders, doors and door tins, rumble lid, hood, were also absolutely great! Through the 4 years of work, I kept an extensive photo history and receipts documenting the build. All of this information goes to the next owner. I have over 400 photos of the process. Exterior Body and paint were done by Jesse Cruz, of Salinas, CA. Jesse has painted several cars that have won awards on the 18th Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concour D'Elegance. The deep black mirror finish is really impressive. The body and sheet metal parts came together as they should, with smooth closing doors, correct fitting panels, etc. and the rumble seat with the spring loaded interior release handle. Here is a list of unrestored original exterior 1934 Ford items: Blue oval Ford emblem on the top of the grille. I feel this is a signature of my build, an 80 year old original emblem that is not restored, but instead stating this car is the real deal.Outside door handlesOutside door lock and key Hub caps with proper blue logo paintTail light stanchionsSpare tire lock and keyOriginal roof tack stripsSet of four 17" trim rings, ultra rare Here is a list of restored original exterior 1934 Ford items: Fully restored grille and its original V8 emblemPair of bumpersPair of stainless headlampsPair of stainless cowl lightsPair of hornsWindshield frame Five powder coated 17" Kelsey Hayes bent spoke rimsThe rumble seat was ordered, and built at the LeBaron Bonney factoryRumble seat spring release mechanismsRumble seat tool pouch on passenger sideProper triple pin striping on the body belt line, and on the hood louvers, by Frank Signs, of Seaside, CA Proper features that I have added to the exterior of car: Original restored 1933 spare tire cover, I like prefer the look of the '33 cover Luggage rack with leather strapsJD made greyhound hood ornament radiator cap with free standing tailFive Brand new Firestone Deluxe Champion wide white wallsBlue dot tail light lensesFord Script locking gas cap with working keyAll new glass with proper July of 1934 Safety bugs. Driver and passenger windows execute the correct horizontal vent motion when rolled down, since the Three Window has its original window regulators. Interior A full, new LeBaron Bonney interior kit was expertly installed by Andy & Me Interiors of Sand City, CA. here is a list of unrestored original interior parts: Fully operational dual fuel/temp gaugeFully operational dual amp meter, ON/OFF gaugeFully operational vacuum wiperFully operational cigar lightermirror bracketfully operational dome light1934 Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress soybean gear shift knob Here is a list of interior restored original 1934 Ford items: Front seat frame, back rest and seat. The Three Window still had its original seat soft goods, really not usable, but still intact!All interior handles and escutcheons are excellent originals that were re-nickel plated by Van Nuys Plating, and have 80 year old marble endsDash board, window & windshield garnish moldings wood grained by Nick Cassero of Hayward, CASteering wheel and horn button, 1934 Ford ash tray radioSpeedometer/odometer. Sun visors with single hinge, which was an early 1934 feature and very hard to find. Chassis and Mechanics A top priority of the restoration was excellent mechanics and drivability. I also wanted to make the engine/compartment and undercarriage as impressive and restored as the top side. I took the car down to the bare frame, painted it with gloss black, along with each and every individual piece. Many chassis parts were sand blasted and powder coated in gloss black or 60% semi-gloss black by Monterey Peninsula Power Coating. Here is a list of the major components done: Oil Pan Original Shocks Front Axle Backing Plates Brake Drums Spark Plug Tubes Radiator Pan Shock Links Fan Brake Rods Wishbone Oil Filler Cap Spindles Front Spring and many other components The striking look of the black powder coating was further highlighted with the use of white cad plated fasteners. The Engine Is a true 1936 LB motor. In other words, it has insert bearings rather than babbitt bearings. Back in the day, dealerships very often replaced 1934 original motors with 1936 motors. See photo of the LB stamping on the top of the block, and photos of the insideThe motor was rebuilt by Norm Fontaine, of Campbell, CA and runs very strong and reliable. It fires right up, and tics at a very low RPM like a vintage sewing machine. When standing next to it, you can barely tell it is running.The motor was fully detailed, as the photos depict, and dressed with 1934 components such as the aluminum heads, intake manifold, oil intake, etc. Brand new gloss black British made Stromberg 97 carbOriginal radiator re-cored by Monterey RadiatorRebuilt original generator, fuel pump, and distributor, brand new starter, rebuilt water pumps by Skip Haney, Ford Script hoses, cad plated hose clampsUltra rare 3 piece Champion X spark plugsCorrect brass Siamese fuel line for gasoline and fuel gaugeAdded a glass fuel filter in between the fuel pump and carb so you can see the gasoline flowing Drive Train The transmission is a 1939 rebuilt by Norm Fontaine, and at the request of Pete Hansen, contains Zephyr gears. The coupe also comes with a stock 1934 rebuilt transmission with standard gears.The rear end is a 3:54 All the brakes have been rebuilt, new shoes, new bearings, all 4 original shocks in place. Steering box rebuilt and filled with John Deere corn head grease for smooth operation and leak prevention All new 6 volt, positive ground wiring, and added a hidden battery cut off switch underneath on the driver side, just past the running board Drivability The Three Window starts right up, idles perfect and drives down the road as expected. The brakes and electrical work great, no overheating, smooth turning, all the electrical works as it should, so overall, a fantastic build. The Matching Trailer Included is a matching teardrop trailer. I took the trailer completely apart, rebuilt the mechanics, had an interior carpet made, and of course, had Jesse Cruz paint it to match The Three Window. Added a set of powder coated red 17" Kelsey Hayes bent spoke rims, with rare 17" trim rings, and brand new Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. It also has: 1937 Ford Script handle with key (does not lock)1934 Ford V8 logo, new set of 1934 hub capsCalifornia BIG SUR 1970's copy license plateNew trailer parts such as hitch ball and safety chains Options for the New Owner 1933 or 1934 Air Cleaner, whichever look you prefer1933 or 1934 Spare Tire cover, whichever look you preferBronze or chrome Greyhound hood ornament Other items The fender skirts ARE included, and the CA dealer plate will not be included.I rebuilt the speedo and zeroed the counter, but the gear in the differential is worn and is not turning the new cable. It worked for 11 miles then stopped!The passenger side outside door lock is a complete unit with original key, but not working due to a part missing from the interior doorThe main seat does not slide forward, but all the original parts are there. I always drive with the seat all the way back anywaySold As-is, no warranty.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

The 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.

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
