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 gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
