1930 170B Model A Ford Fordor Blind Back  2-Window Project

I have a project that originated from a barn in White Earth, North Dakota (the original owners). I picked up this Model A as the second owner and it is now registered and titled in Arizona to the VIN on the frame. I even have a restored 1930 Arizona Mohave County license plate on it, which can go with the vehicle if you want it.

The 1930 Ford Model A 170B two-window blind back is actually a very rare version of the vehicle. It still has an original eyebrow fender, which is only found on 1930 models produced before February. The original VIN on the frame indicates that the engine was produced in November 1929, which is typical for the Model As, as there was usually an 8 to 10 week period between engine production and complete assembly. There are also other indicators of an early 1930 Model A, besides the eyebrow fender (which is rare in itself), as some of the original hardware is from the 1929 style (such as the door handles). Again, this was typical as they would run the existing stock out at the end of the year before they moved to using the new stocks.

This vehicle was in a fire at some point in its past and there is a bullet hole in it, which you may want to keep for conversational purposes...

The vehicle is complete and almost everything to restore it can be purchased new from a number of suppliers (such as MACs Antique Auto Parts). The fenders will need some work, and might need to be replaced, depending on how much effort you want to put into them. We were just going to replace them and have a friend do the metal work on the fender for the original eyebrow style.

The vehicle is currently in two pieces, as we were about to begin the restoration and have just not had the time or the money to continue it. The following is a list of additional parts for the vehicle.

  • 1930 Model A 170B Fordor Two-Window Blind Back complete body and frame
  • Brand new wood kit (complete, still in original Ford Wood factory boxes $4,500)
  • Brand new tires and tubes
  • 8 extra wheels (the original wheels on the car were mixed between 19" and 21")
  • Frame parts and rivets to replace welded or existing damaged parts of frame
  • New body parts for lower part of cowl on each side
  • New front radiator splash shield
  • Two extra engines, one is ready to go
  • Extra steering wheel
  • Extra muffler
  • Extra odometer
  • Extra bell housing
  • Misc books/manuals
  • Misc parts
  • Lots of pictures that were taken during each phase of disassembly

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
