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

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
