1930 Ford Coupe Chopped Model A Hot Rod Traditional Project on 2040-cars
Sebastopol, California, United States
|
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. search words: Hot rod ratrod rat hotrod custom kustom 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936 chopper bobber roadster shitbox rust bucket flathead flat head sedan pick up 39 transmission |

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
