1927 Ford Model T Coupe - Traditional Hot Rod - Chopped on 2040-cars
Zimmerman, Minnesota, United States
|
I am selling my all steel 1927 coupe. It is chopped 6" with a 53' chevy roof filling the top.(old school trick) Just a cheap rattle can paint job to achieve the traditional look. It has glass windshield and 1/4" plexi-glass quarter windows and back window. There is no glass in doors but I have working regulators in doors. The doors are in pretty good condition. The trunk lid was fabricated from a replacement skin. The motor is an older G.M. 350 crate motor with a vintage Weiand cross ram with 2 Holly 450 cfm carbs. Vintage AFX valve covers and lake style headers. It has a Walker radiator. It has a turbo 350 automatic transmission and a 8" rearend. It has highway gears (not sure what) but it runs about 2800 rpm's at 70 mph. It is on a 2"x3" tube frame Speedway front suicide axle and disc brakes. Rearend has coils and shocks with hairpins to frame. It has King Bee headlights and 39' ford style taillights. All lights work properly. It has Stewart Warner gauges which all work properly. The master cylinder is under dash from an early Mustang. It has disc brakes in front and drum at rear. The battery is located in trunk and fuel tank is behind seats. The wheels are Rocket Racing Wheels with B.F. Goodrich tires from Coker. It has a Lokar shifter. I'm not sure what the seats are out of. (swap meet find). I have driven this car for the past 3 years to about 25 car shows per year. It runs cool in traffic and handles nice at highway speeds. My reason for selling is I want to get a Model A streetrod or a cool gasser. The car is for sale or trade locally and listing may end early.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
