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

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Landau yachts: The history of Lincoln's Designer Series
Sun, Feb 6 2022The Lincoln Designer Series was introduced in 1976, at the end of the imposing Mark IV Continental generation. Four big-name fashion designers of the era – all-American country clubber Bill Blass, psychedelic Italian pattern-maestro Emilio Pucci, venerable French jewelry-maker Cartier, and a la mode French fashionista Hubert de Givenchy – were asked to slather their elegance on LincolnÂ’s personal luxury coupe. This experiment was a wild success. According to documents uncovered in the Lincoln archives – with the incomparable guidance of official brand historian Ted Ryan – the Designer series “accounted for more than 27% of Mark IV sales” shortly after its introduction. It was such a runaway hit, that it continued on throughout the even larger Mark V generation (incidentally, the longest coupe ever produced by Ford Motor Company), and didnÂ’t really peter out on these big two-doors until the early 1990s.  But the true history of the series well predates the era of opera windows, crushed velour and wire wheel covers. “If you take a step back even further, when Ford purchased Lincoln in 1922, Edsel Ford was put in charge of the company. But more than that, he helped establish the first design studio at Ford,” said Ryan. The basic Model T didnÂ’t take much design. Lincoln was different. Edsel is famed for his quote. “Father wanted to make the most popular car, I wanted to make the best.” The specific genesis of the Designer Series, however, came along as a result of a long-term personal connection with the marqueÂ’s first chairman. “Edsel Ford had a relationship with Cartier, and correspondence going throughout the 1920s and '30s,” Ryan said. “His personal cards and stationery were always ordered from Cartier.” This enduring link wasnÂ’t formalized until the late 1960s. “I found in product development files, in 1967, that Ford had gone to Cartier for a special 1970 Cartier Continental coupe,” Ryan said. According to internal documents, this package would include unique interior leather/cloth/vinyl surfaces and trim, modified dials, and a Cartier jewelry box, as well as golden plating on the steering wheel ornament, dial face ornaments, keys, C-pillar ornaments, door monograms, and dashboard plaque. “Think of that. A car that never was, that could have been,” Ryan said, wistfully. Some Cartier magic did get glossed on Lincolns in the late 1960s.
