This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A
Sedan! The car has been driven
regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.
Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time
cruising.
This is as finished as a Rat Rod could
go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like. The paint is flat black with old school
scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes
laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.
The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with
white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer. The car comes with a removable waterproof
canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the
back with custom leather buckle down straps.
The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head
lights on each side. The rear tail
lights are 1939 Ford. The 1930 Chrysler side
door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the
right amount of chrome to go faster.
The interior is finished in wood and
stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by
Tanksinc. You might question the comfort
of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable
and look great. The red center console
is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together. A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed
with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made
by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high
speed speedo’s back in the day) The
other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil
temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts. The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to
a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be
removed for security purposes. The
Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid
over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center
console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a
stage gun for a few bucks on-line.
The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake. The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears. The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes. The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes. The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
