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 cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion. Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.
