1930 Model A Sedan: This Hot rod has the 1945/1948 Ford Flathead, 239 cubic inch 59 AB 90-100 HP: 1937 Ford 3spd transmission: 1933 front end: 1931 rear end: 1939/1940 model brakes with frame mount master and pedals. Up-dated Alluminum radiator, new wiring, New brakes/master/wheel cylinders. Radiator Shell is new old stock from the 1960's. New Coker Classics: 560-15 on the front, L78-15 on the rear. This is not a new build but a restoration from a surviving vintage hot rod from the early 1950's. Many of the parts have been repurposed adding the 60 amp alternator that is not original to the Flatheads. The Lakes style headers are authentic to the period this car was built matching the design from the early A-V8 cars that were built. The Model a has a 4" chop with the body mounted back on the frame like it was originally built leaving the splash aprons attached. Painted in Satin red and gloss black PPG paint.
HISTORY: What is very cool about this Model A Sedan is that it was originally built between 1949 and 1952: After returning from the WWII many Vets wanted to go fast: finding the Model A servived the scrap drives, the 4 cylinder was modified many times to go as fast as possible on the back roads of Oregon and then North West Montana. With dreams of dry lake beds the Sedan began its transformation from family car to Hot rod in 1949 when the first of many Flathead V8's was installed. In 1950 a 1937 Flathead was installed and transmission:"the same tranmision still opperates today" also the 1933 front axle was installed. After a couple of years the Sedan was changed yet again to go even faster: a 1940 Flathead was installed along with juice brakes all the way around and by the end of 1952 the hood and fenders were removed along with front and rear bumpers and guards leaving the splash aprons. The result being the Model a A-V8 as they were called back then. The car opperated for many years between Oregon and Monatana where it was a daily driver. The Model A was never really all that fast, but it was loud and felt fast and that is all the mattered at the time. In 1987 the Sedan was once again torn down for a rebuild and restoration adding many new parts, the 4" chop and the 1945-1948 Flathead 239 59 AB along with many other plans were stalled for many years as the A V8 was passed from one family member to another finally being completed the last couple of years. I tried to get some old photos to pass on but due to illness and hospital visits I was unable to aquire any other than visits on the phone and stories passed on from the original owners family. I hope to who ever has the winning bid they keep the story about this car alive and pass it on. If you want to own a piece of Hot rodding history this is your car, a car we only read about but never find. An original Model A Ford A-V8 is a great thing to own! If you are looking for air ride suspension and air conditioning this is not your car! This Model A is priced to sell with a low reserve; anyone looking for a great vintage Hot rod can win this bid! Good luck and feel free to ask questions I will be happy answere them and if I can't I will do my best to find the answere for you!!

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
