T-bucket Roadster on 2040-cars
Kalispell, Montana, United States
|
This is a '23 T-Bucket roadster but it's listed on the title as a 1913. I'm not sure when it was built. It appears to be a survivor form the 1970's or 1980's at the latest. It is a Total Performance chassis and chrome spring-behind front end. The engine is a early '70s 350 block. It has a 6 quart baffled oil pan, a balanced rotating assembly, hi volume oil pump, bow tie 2.02/1.60 angle plug heads with 1.6 ratio rolled rockers and a Weiand tunnel ram with two 450 Holley carbs. The distributer is a Mallory duel point. The cam is a mild street cam. I'm not sure what it is. I've owned this car for 4 years. In that time I've been through it end to end. It has recent brakes, tires and AR wheels front and rear with 18.5 inch Mickey radials on the rear. The interior was done last fall by Ron at Loose Ends Upholstery in Kalispell Montana. The T-400 transmission was rebuilt last year by Bill Smith Transmissions in Bigfork Mt. The car weighs 1,850 lbs. so the horse power to weight ratio is really strong. This is a smokin' little car. It hooks hard and goes straight but it's very mild mannered around town. My wife drives it and loves it. The car won trophies three years running in the "Run to the Rockies" car show here in Kalispell Mt. I will not divulge the reserve price but it is WAY less that 1/2 what the car would cost to build. The car comes with a soft top which is not currently on the car but is included in the sale. If you have questions please ask before bidding. The car is for sale locally. Shipping and transport of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. I require a $1000 deposit within 24 hrs of auction end and payment in full within 3 business days. Thanx, 406-890-4286 Scott |

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
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.
Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
