Williams, Minnesota, United States
|
1931 Ford coupe. Body was pretty rough and has been stitched back together and is now solid. The doors open and close nicely(bear claw latches). Windows are plexi glass. The windshield frame was fabricated out of alum channel and is in place until I could find/fabricate something a little better. Floor, braces and top are all metal. 32 Ford grille shell is fiberglass. Early SBC with vintage Offenhauser 2 x 4 intake with early AFB carbs(I'm told Vette). The valve covers are real Corvette(1963). Engine has approx. 54000 on rebuild - I might still have the paperwork to verify this. 1 wire alt. Headers have muffler ends. Auto trans. 68 Plymouth 8 3/4 rear. SW gauges - speedo, oil press. & water temp. Lokar shifter. Velour bench seat. New Chrome rims/tires. Super Bell dropped axle. Disc brakes front. Reversed Corvair box. Many new parts. Could probably use about an inch longer driveshaft. Gas pedal needs adjusting to obtain full throttle. This is a nice running, fun car that needs very little to be blasting the street or maybe dragstrip. Keep in mind it is not perfect and will need tweaking here and there. I haven't had the time to work the bugs out, I've only got about 15 miles on it since finishing the build some months ago. I'm on other priorities and don't have the time to devout to this an the other items I'll be listing on Ebay, therefore the reserve is low considering the work and time that had been done so far and to other comparable cars. The title is 31 Ford and is clear in my name. Has collector plates. This is being sold as is. This is being offered at different venues and auction will be ended if sold elsewhere, unless reserve is met. Please have transportation set up as I need this out of here within 2 weeks of auction end, I need the shop space. Ask questions early in the auction - I'm on the computer randomly. Please read payment instructions and follow them after auction. Bidders with less than 10 feedback, please contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. On Sep-06-14 at 13:39:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Top is chopped approx. 2 1/2". Body has been channeled over frame approx. 4".

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.
