1930 Ford "A" Coupe Old School 50's era Hot Rod, built in the "home of hot-roding"

Original 3 owner So. California car- before complete frame up restoration- all steel no patch panels, matching numbers. Well documented restoration, this car was restored in the late 1990's and over $40k was invested. This automobile has been very well cared for since the frame up restoration, has less then 1500 on the restoration. This car took 2 years to build by Tom Lewis and his son up in Whittier CA. No expense spared on this restoration.

Sheet metal is beautiful, no patch panels, paint is gorgeous, pictures don't do this car justice. Over $17k was spent on the paint.

Frame and engine numbers match. Motor has been highly modified and was built by Vermeil's Engines of Santa Rosa CA. Fully pressurized oil system, big oil pump, Winfield head, Riley dual port intake with Stromberg 81's, Mallory dual point ignition, 12 volt alternator, insert bearings, aluminum pistons/ rods. Custom exhaust header that was powder coated. 40 Ford transmission with HD racing clutch, 48 Ford hydraulic brake system, 40 Ford steering box with vintage Bell steering wheel, 2 1/2" dropped front axle with tube shocks and new springs, 16" powder coated Kelsey wheels, 32 Ford gas tank, 32 Ford dash with antique Stewart-Warner gauges, Halogen headlights and taillight bulbs.

Frame, windshield, and oil pan powder coated. Lebaron-Bonny Interior professionally installed .

Photo album documents entire restoration. An additional binder also includes an expense log, typed notes, phone numbers and names of all different people/ business that worked on the car or where the parts were purchased. Binder also includes many installation instruction (i.e. Mallory ignition installation instructions, fuel pressure regulator instructions, gauge instructions, paint codes, etc). Also includes story of the builder and all the people who have owned the car since it was restored.

This car can be seen in Rochester NH. This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right the end this auction at anytime. I really don't care if I sell this car or not, will consider trade for an early flathead V8 Ford, nice restored Model A, or original Model A and cash. It is very difficult to find such well documented automobiles that have received such a detailed restoration. Don't miss out on your chance to own this beautiful piece of history.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.
