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.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils

Thu, Jan 1 2015

It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little.

The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Techstars Mobility brings transportation startups to Detroit

Thu, Jun 4 2015

A new tech incubator is looking to combine the Motor City's automotive history with its evolving tech startup landscape. "Techstars Mobility, Driven by Detroit" kicks off its first round with 10 startups next week. Techstars is an established accelerator network with incubators around the world, and Detroit is a new addition. The projects center around mobility in some form, be it improving vehicles, moving goods, or working cars into the sharing economy in new ways. In return for a percentage stake in each company, Techstars provides mentorship, access to experts, seed money, and a collaborative environment. One startup we're particularly excited about is Motoroso. This site is like Pinterest for the car-obsessed, with boards replaced by garages that can contain photos and links to other projects. The site lets you follow brands – Chevy, Porsche, Ducati, and others already have profiles – as well as other users. For the Autoblog editors, Motoroso provides a new way to share stories, photos, and video, as well as a way to discover new products and interesting DIY projects. Take a look at the Autoblog profile and wander around the site to check things out. Another one of the startups, Classics & Exotics, is helping owners of interesting cars and would-be drivers connect in an Airbnb-style distributed rental program. Think of it as an auction catalog you can drive. Renters can specify the price, mileage, minimum driver age, and availability. Similar to Airbnb, Classics & Exotics provides each vehicle owner with $1 million in liability and damage protection. The company also vets renters for added peace of mind. Sounds like fun, and a cheap way to avoid a costly Craigslist or eBay mistake. Along similar shared-economy lines comes SPLT, a ride-sharing platform that finds people going where you're going and lets you hop in a car and split the costs. It's aimed at commuters but also has great applications for those looking for occasional one-way rides somewhere. SPLT notes that the system is a good way to meet new people – hopefully, good new people. Depending on how well SPLT keeps sketchy rides and riders out of the system, this could be a solid alternative to services like Uber and Lyft. This Techstars Mobility class has backing from corporate sponsors, including Ford, Honda, Magna, Dana, Verizon Telematics (Verizon has an offer pending to buy AOL, our parent company), and McDonald's.
