1929 Ford Model A Coupester/roadster on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
For sale is my 1929 Ford Coupester (titled in TN as a roadster). It started out as a coupester conversion sometime in the 60s and I carried it much further over the past several years. I shortened the length of the body/doors by 4.5" to improve on the body proportions, and the doors have been narrowed to roadster thickness. The panel above the trunk was also replaced with a roadster one to unify the look. Here's the more specs:
-Chevy 305 with Edelbrock Performer package (cam, intake, etc), NEW Edelbrock 1406 carb, NEW HEI distributor, water pump, etc
-Aluminum Powerglide transmission, floor shift
-Model T gas tank and battery box in the trunk
-Juice brakes all around
-8" Ford rear, new drums, shoes, internals
-Original Henry Ford axle dropped by Okie Joe
-32 Chevy Hood for longer hood length
-35 Ford wire wheels
-55 Buick steering wheel
-Cowl modified to accommodate real roadster stanchions and windshield
-Patina paintjob to give it the Post-War gow job look
-Cowl steering via BMW 2002 steering box
-E-brake via classic Porche e-brake handle
-The numbers on the side wash off!
-Extra electrical fan with switch on dash for those hot CA days in traffic
-Headlights converted to halogens!
-Partially boxed frame
-Gas shocks front and back to smooth the ride on our *wonderful* CA roads!
-Glass packed mufflers and custom exhaust
-Custom rag top frame in progress (if you want it) and extra patch panels. Any area where it was patched in the 60s that you may not like, I had sand blasted and primed, but kept it for the "gow job" look. The patch panels I have are for all those areas if you want to change it!
OPEN TO PARTIAL TRADES: Interested in 1964-69 Pontiac Tempest/Lemans and 1965-69 Ford Torino/Fairlanes
I'd love to hear from you if you're truly interested, and we can talk further....*HOWEVER*, this is what I'm NOT interested in:
-Anyone trying to "sell" it for me
-Trades for random things like late model clunkers, travel trailers, bike parts, crud you don't want in the first place
-Folks contacting me to tell me what it's *not* worth
-Scammers....I've dealt with it before, so I can smell it coming.
-I won't do spec work on it for you per your request before buying.
What I *DO* expect:
-Honest dealings by honest people. If this car isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty more out there, it is what it is.
-I'm not selling this due to any financial hardship or personal need. I'm actually selling it to benefit my church and their new building, so if you want to negotiate price and perhaps a tax deductible donation to my church, that's a possibility.

Ford F-150 Raptor gets EcoBoost V6, new chassis and aluminum body [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015The Autoblog staff universally loves the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and the truck's about to get even better. Coming in the fall of 2016 (we'd assume as a 2017 model), the next off-road-ready pickup from Ford will boast an all-new, purpose-built, high-strength steel frame and a lightweight aluminum body that saves more than 500 pounds when compared to the current Raptor. It's six inches wider overall than the regular 2015 F-150, which both makes it look awfully mean but also aids in stability when driving fast off the road, and new LED lighting elements make it stand out when the sun goes dim. Under the Raptor's muscular hood will be a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that will make more than the current 6.2-liter V8's 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque, though we don't have exact power figures for the next-gen Raptor quite yet. Also new will be a 10-speed automatic transmission, which will replace the current six-speed unit and ought to provide appropriate ratios for both rock crawling and high-speed desert trail running. Speaking of high-speed running, what makes the Raptor tick, perhaps more than any other single component, are its custom-designed suspension bits. Redesigned, larger Fox Racing Shocks with more suspension travel and all-new terrain management technology, combined with BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires, are the bits and pieces that allow for Baja-style off-roading. View 14 Photos The four-wheel-drive system in the next-gen Raptor will include a Terrain Management with settings for Normal driving, Street driving, Weather mode (for rain, snow or ice), Mud and Sand, Baja mode and Rock mode. According to Ford, the Raptor's new transfer case is designed to work as both a locking unit for crawling and a full-time unit for other off-road applications. A Torsen front differential will be optional. Basically, if all of this new stuff turns out to be as good in practice as it sounds in a press release, the next F-150 Raptor will only serve to separate Ford's off-road pickup even further from its half-hearted competitors.

2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing
Tue, 15 Oct 2013This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
