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 |

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
