Up for sale is a 1931 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Rat Rod Project Car. The car has a 337 cubic inch '49 Lincoln Flathead V8 hooked up to a '39 Ford 3 speed manual transmission. Connected to the transmission is the original Model A drive shaft and original 3rd member.
The car has a brand new aluminum radiator and an aluminum fuel cell.
Juice brakes have been installed with all new wheel cylinders, springs, shoes and hoses. The brake drums are used but still have plenty of life left.
It has a new Vega steering box with an Ididit tilt steering column and the steering wheel from a '49 Buick.
It has frenched tail lights from a '59 Eldorado (reproduction).
Body is in good shape with little rust.
I started creating a 'delivery sedan' type style to the car. I started building a clam shell style door on the rear of the body. I have re-enforced the inner body structure with steel. The wood is still in place with not much rot.
The chassis has been extended 11 inches in front of the firewall to accommodate the flathead V8. The frame has also had boxing plates welded to the inner frame for rigidity.
The wheels are original Ford steel rims from the 1940s. The front tires are NOS US Royal from the 1950s and are very usable.
The headlights are from a '35 Ford truck.
The car comes with a brand new Painless brand wiring harness and fuse box along with new Stewart-Warner Oil Temp and Water Temp gauges.
The car also includes an original set of front seats.
I am selling the car because I don't have the time to finish it.
The car is not currently running but has a clear California title currently registered as 'Non-Operational' A nice set of 1931 California license plates are included with the car but they are not registered to the car. To the best of my knowledge the plates are clear and not assigned to any other vehicles.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva
Wed, Mar 4 2015The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
