Jezebel 1930 Tudor Sedan
Up for auction is Jezebel a one off custom traditional hot rod from Fod's Garage. This Beautiful sedan was completed in March of 2013 and debuted as a display vehicle at the annual Hot Rod and Restoration show in Indianapolis. The car was also used on the banner of their website for this years show. The car has been in Street Scene Magazine and on Motor Head Garage. This car was inspired by the show cars of the 50's and 60's. Over the top body modifications and extreme attention to detail. Please take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. Photo from show is of Jezebel as well as other vehicles available for sale. We provide turn key customs as well as commissioned builds. If you have any questions contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or (812) 216-0635). Don't know why anyone would assume anything different but the car is equipped with functioning, windows (all four), tilting windshield, headlights (high and low), tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn. You get the idea. The speedo is not hooked up needs cable. Being listed as having 15 miles, this is aprox how many miles have been put on since build completion.
Exterior We started with a solid original 1930 tudor sedan. The top was chopped a massive 7 inches. In order to retain correct proportions the body was sectioned 2 inches. Anyone familiar with custom cars will tell you the combination of these modifications is a tremendous amount of work. Any rust or previous poor repairs were cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. The body has also been channeled but not in the traditional manner. When looking in the door opening there is no step reducing interior room. This was accomplished by using a new sheetmetal floor and full custom chassis. The end result is head room equal to a channeled and 4 inch chopped A. The car has new wood throughout. Gaps were set far tighter and with more precision than anything Ford ever did. The body was wrapped in a beautiful three tone DuPont paint job. Topped of with old school pin stripes. A new high quality top was installed with mesh and padding. The grille shell is a new 28-29 grille with a woven stainless insert. The original model A headlights were fitted with halogen bulbs new lenses and turn signals in the housings. Wiring is sleeved with black woven cloth loom. Rear bumpers were added for a unique look.
Interior Sitting in the driver seat you will see a Nash instrument cluster mounted in the center of a custom Model A dash. Cluster was sent out after reshaping to be chromed. The dash along with other metal trim inside the car is charcoal with black accents and maroon stripes to match the exterior. The inside of the car was primed, sealed and sound deadened prior to upholstery. The seat is a custom bench back style with bucket lowers. The seat bottoms as well as the back is contoured, not just a flat slab. Upholstery is done in black with ribbed charcoal inserts. The fuel tank has been located in the rear of the passenger compartment with a full firewall seperating it from the inside. The raised panel behind the seat houses the rear suspension. Fuel tank firewall, rear suspension cover, and transmission tunnel are all removable to allow access to all drivetrain from either inside or under the car. There are locations for storage on both sides behind the seat large enough for chairs, small cooler, cleaning supplies, and over night bags. The sedan also has a full headliner with dome lights. Interior is finished off with square weave black carpet.
Chassis Jezebel sits on a full custom chassis. The lightening holes in the front have been sleeved. All joints in the frame have been plated for additional strength. Chassis is full TIG welded. Front axle has been smooth and drilled. Front brakes are new disc units from speedway motors as are the king pins and spindles. Steering is provided through a cowl mounted reversed Ford truck box mounted under the dash. Rear frame rails are mandrel bent. Rear suspension is 4 link with a diagonal bar for locating the 9 inch Ford axle. Coil overs are used for adjustable ride height. Plumbing and wiring are retained with stainless clamps, frame is drilled and tapped for attachment with stainless hardware. The brand new wheels along with all other chassis parts are powder coated black for high quality long lasting finish. Wheels are wrapped in new whitewall Firestone tires.
Drivetrain Power is supplied by a 350 Chevy with a mild cam. Valve covers, air cleaner, and oil pan are finned cast aluminum. Custom headers are ceramic coated by Jet Hot. Transmission shifts firm and equipped with a finned aluminum pan. Cooling is provided by new radiator with electric fan and aluminum overflow tank.

Legal type stuff
As
is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your
local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and
therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily
include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics,
decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road
use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show
purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries
caused while operating this vehicle. This car is in good working
order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
