1927 Ford T Roadster Highboy on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
Thanks for checking out my 1927 Ford Roadster Highboy. This has been a fun project and is getting close to finish but I am ready to move on to the next one if someone is ready to continue this one. Drivetrain: 1948 Ford Flat Head V8 -Bored .030 over -2 Carb intake -Aluminum Offenhauser Heads -Headers -3 Speed Transmission on the tree -New Starter -New 3 Core Radiator The Goods: -Steward Warner Speed-O, Tach, Temp, Oil and Volt gauges -Juice Brakes all around -10 Gal Aluminum gas tank installed in Trunk -Boxed Frame -Deck Lid Replaced -Back Panel Replaced -New Seat Springs, frame and Upholstery top and bottom -New Short Aluminum Windshield posts (No Glass) -Brand new Bias Ply White Walls The Bad... The Engine starts and runs great but there is water entering the exhaust port coming out of the right side header. It appears to be a hole in the water jacket in the block allowing the water to exit to the exhaust. The fix is to either find and repair the hole or just replace the Block which is my next move on this project if it does not go to the next garage (Yours). The body is not perfect by any means but it is a great start to a fun car. I am just testing the market right now unless it gets to a magic number ($ we all know everything has one $). Take a look at the pictures and feel free to give me a call with any questions you have. Happy Bidding! Please note this is a 1927 Body Titled as a 1924.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
