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.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.

Ford GT concept adorns Forza 6 cover

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Ford has rolled in to the Detroit Auto Show this week with a staggering array of performance machinery, including the new GT Concept, Mustang GT350R and F-150 Raptor. That's the exciting part. The thing is, that most of us won't have the opportunity to drive any of them, let alone really wring them out on the track. Fortunately, they'll all feature in the upcoming release of Forza 6. Not only that, but the new Ford GT will adorn the box cover as well. Featuring on the cover of the latest installment of what Microsoft (citing Metacritic ratings) says is "the highest-rated racing series of the past decade" would be a coveted place of honor for any automaker. The box art for the original version (at least the one first released in North America) featured a modified Acura NSX, followed by a Nissan 350Z drifter on Forza Motorsport 2, an Audi R8 on Forza 3, Ferrari 458 Italia on Forza 4, an SRT Viper on Forza Horizon, the McLaren P1 on Forza 5 and the Lamborghini Huracan on Forza Horizon 2. This, then, will be the first time a Ford will be the poster child for a new version of the popular game. With carbon-fiber construction, active aero and a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 pumping out over 600 horsepower, it strikes us as a place well deserved by Dearborn's finest. Microsoft and Ford Unveil Ford GT as the Cover Car for "Forza Motorsport 6" Debuting Exclusively on Xbox One Ford's new line of performance vehicles will star in Microsoft's newest and most advanced racing game DETROIT – Jan. 12, 2015 – Microsoft, Turn 10 Studios and Ford unveiled their new collaboration today at the North American International Auto Show, announcing the all-new Ford GT ultra-high performance supercar as the featured cover car in the next iteration of the acclaimed racing simulation franchise for Xbox, "Forza Motorsport 6," launching exclusively on Xbox One. The GT serves as a technology showcase for Ford with its ultra-efficient EcoBoost engine performance, advanced aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber construction. It begins arriving in dealerships in select markets globally late next year. In addition, the companies revealed that Ford's performance vehicle line-up will appear in "Forza Motorsport 6." This includes the GT, Shelby® GT350 Mustang and F-150 Raptor debuted by Ford earlier today at the auto show.
