I have a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe for sale. 

It has been chopped, including the windshield, back window and quarter windows,
the garnish moldings were also chopped.

It is on a Model A frame with a 4" step in the rear, stock rear crossmember, and stock front crossmember, but it has been trimmed to fit a V8. The original center crossmember is not in
the frame.

It has a really nice Model A rear axle, with a Model T spring, including the torque tube and radius rods. The gear ratio is 3:78.
There are later brake drums and hubs but no backing plates or hardware.

It has an Original Model A Ford front axle that was dropped about 4", with 1942-48 Ford spindles,
that have been bent to mount the shortened tie rod. It has a 1928-32 reverse eye front spring, longer perches with lower shock mounts. There are later hydraulic brake drums, but no backing plates or hardware.

The front axle is mounted with 1937-40 Ford wishbones that have been split and chromed long ago.
The brackets where the wishbones mount to the frame are only tack welded, so final location can be 
determined by next owner.

It has Ford 16" rims, with some old hot rod firestone tires. 750-16 rears and 550-16 fronts

It has original 1950 Pontiac Tail lights.

It has a three piece hood of unknown origin. I have been told it is a 1931 Chevy Truck hood, but I can't confirm that.

It has a 1932 Ford 4 cylinder radiator.
And a 1932 Ford pick-up grill shell.

It has what appears to be a 1931 Chevy dash, with some vintage gauges made to fit, and some missing.

I will include a 1948-52 Ford F1 truck crossmember and pedals, which will make mounting hydraulic brakes easier.

The body does have some rust around the bottom, but comes with two patch panels for the rear quarter panels.

It also comes with another back panel for below the deckled.

There is a bench seat in the car, but I don't think it is stock, and it would probably need to be recovered.

The sub rails were cut out from behind the seat to the back of the body, but the section that is there from
the seat back to the fire wall it pretty good. Seat pan and frame are good. 

Looks like newer wood in the roof, the top was filled long ago with a sheet of galvanized sheet metal.

Doors open and close nicely. There are no hinges on the deck lid, but there are rumble seat brackets on the body.
I will include the hinges for the deck lid to be a rumble seat.

It will take a fair amount of work to get this on the road, but if you want to build an old hot rod this is a very good start.

If you put in a flat head V8, and 39 style transmission it would bolt right up to the rear axle, and bolt into the
F1 crossmember I have included.

I could even include Vern Tardel's book on How to Build a Traditional Hot Rod, if you want it?

If you want a painted finished car, this will take a lot of work.

But if you want a car that looks like it just got drug out of a field, this is it.

Car is sold as is where is, no title, only bill of sale. 
I cannot find any vin numbers on the frame, there may be some on there, but I don't see them.

Buyer is responsible for pick up or delivery by hauler of your choice, all cost to be paid by buyer.

This car is also for sale locally, and if it sells locally, the auction will be cancelled, since the item will no longer
be available.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
