Heres a chance to get you butt into the seat of a pretty bad ass and interesting head turning hot rod, my freind Dylan of the band "Reckless Ones" owns this car and built it years ago, he has had the car for almost 8 years, and has decided its finally time to part with the car, the car had been sitting for a couple years while the band toured and he decided he just couldnt give it the time and love this car needs. The car was built to resemble a 50s altered drag sedan, its a 29 ford model A tudor, it has been chopped 6 inches, channeled about 6. its is on a stock but modified (z'd and boxed) frame, the front end consists of a 33-36 ford axle with 40 ford wishbones, and the axle was modified to accept 1954 chevy spindles and brakes, also on the front are 49-53 chevy rims with coker 560-15 tires. the rear suspension consists of a 66 olds cutlass 8.2 rear end and trailing arm type suspension with coil springs and tube shocks. the transmission is a th350 that has a stall convert and shift kit. now the best part of the whole car, the motor, its a rebiult 283 with forged pistons and a comp cams camshaft, later model 76 cc heas to lower the compression to a tollerable level for the blower, the heads had hardened seats and bronze liners installed also, the motor was bored and competely rebuilt, grank ground, new oil pump timing chain lifters bearings rings, etc etc. the intake is a offy intake modified to accept a 6-71 blower, the blower had been rebuitlt for the street. to top is all off is a vintage and rare wieand 8x2 blower top with 8 holley 94 carbs, the car is running only 4 of the 8 carbs to alleviate some of the trouble! the car was built about 10 years ago and all mechanical asspects were new, kingpins, tie rod ends, brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc etc, when origianlly built it had a stock runner 283 but that motor was worn out so the new motor was built 4 or so years ago and doesnt have a huge amount of miles on it. the radiator is located at the rear of this car and is a 70s gm 3 car radiator. it had two nice large electric fans also. im sure im missing some stuff.
now i will try and describe some of the issues the car has...... it needs a higher stall converter, it has a 2000 ish stall and could use a 2700-3000 ish stall to make the car much more driveable. also, it has 4 carbs, with the 4 carbs it can be finicky, the car was built when Dylan was 20 so he learned alot on the car and it might not have the best welds but will hold together, a month after he finished it he took it on a 800 mile round trip and had very little problems with it. and has never had to do any major work on it to keep it on the road. after the 2 year slumber he went out charged the battery and it started up and drive it 20 miles to my house, we spend a day on it tidying some stuff up and going over the carbs to get it back up to good running condition, these things take some work and some love all the time but thats the cost of having such a different and special the car, care has to be taken with the cooling system to make sure there are no air pockets, he has never had any problems with it overheating except when there was an air pocket.
this is an old car and drives like one, i am 6-2 and dylan a little shorter, he fits ok, im not very confortable in the car, but it is what it is.
one more thing, the car is title and registered as a 29 dodge, at the time he bought he car it was a junkyard body and hadnt had a title nor vin code for many years, he had planned to find a ford title for it but never had the time. if the car were to go overseas we could looking into finding a ford title for it but at the cost of the buyer.
also the shipping cost and arrangments are all the buyers responsibility, i will be here and help with the loading etc etc but thats it.
the car could be kept here for a few weeks or so any more and we would have to make arrangments.
when purchasing this car a $500 paypal deposit will have to be made with in 48 hours of purchase then we will arrange the rest after that.
thanks

Ford offering $10,000 in incentives for new F-150
Thu, Jul 16 2015Not two months ago, Ford posted lower-than-expected first quarter earnings partly because of production issues with the new F-150, but raised the year's profit outlook thinking the production issues were over. A month later we got word of more manufacturing problems due to a shortage of frames, leaving the company unable to fulfill demand. The problems not only ate into Ford's bottom line, but also its market share, since the F-Series truck has been the best-selling vehicle for the past 33 years. Inventory still isn't where Ford wants it, and won't be until the end of September. The pipeline is stocked enough, however, that Bloomberg reports The Blue Oval is putting up to $10,029 on the hood in some parts of the country, and only on certain trims, as a way to stay competitive with rival truck makers. Ford lost 100,000 units of production during the changeover of the two plants that build it. The frame shortage compounds that, which has led to F-150 sales that are down 2.4 percent through the first half of the year. F-150 market share in June 2014 was 33 percent, this June it was 28 percent. Meanwhile, sales over at General Motors and Ram are climbing - Chevrolet Silverado sales were up 18 percent year-on-year in June. Ford said its incentive spending on the F-150 is down overall this year, and its average transaction price of $44,100 remains the highest in the segment. Still, it will look forward to solid footing to take on rivals. Related Video:
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
