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 recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

Shelby GT350 to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson in January
Fri, Dec 26 2014If you just have to be the first person in the world to possess the latest Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then you need to be bidding during the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 17. That's because Ford is offering the chance to own the inaugural production example of its latest premiere pony car there. The buyer of the first GT350 gets to choose from any color and all of the available packages for their car. Although, the real highlight is probably being among the first to listen to the 5.2-liter V8 under the hood with its flat-plane crankshaft. Ford promises that the mill makes over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. To sweeten the deal even further, all of the proceeds of the sale go to the JDRF, a charity that funds type 1 diabetes research. There's no reserve on the auction for the GT350 but don't expect a bargain. Last year, the first 2015 'Stang raised $300,000 for the JDRF at the Barrett-Jackson sale, and the initial Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 brought in $650,000 for charity. You can read Ford's entire announcement about the event below. FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SELL NEW SHELBY GT350 MUSTANG AT BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE AUCTION TO BENEFIT JDRF First publicly available production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350® Mustang to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, with all proceeds benefiting JDRF Winning bidder will be able to choose from available colors and packages for Shelby GT350 Ford-sponsored ride-and-drives during the auction will feature a full lineup of 2015 vehicles Ford Motor Company will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang by auctioning the first production unit of the new-generation car available to the public for charity at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona. All proceeds will benefit JDRF, the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Live coverage of the auction of the Shelby GT350 will air on Velocity on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015. The winning bidder of lot No. 3008 – selling at No Reserve – will become owner of the coveted first retail production unit of Ford Shelby GT350, and choose from available Shelby GT350 colors and packages. In January 1964, Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company forever altered the automotive industry with the introduction of the GT350. It was offered through Ford dealers from 1965 through 1970.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
