Up for sale is my Ford Model A chassis I built when I was a student at WyoTech. It's extremely well built. I put a lot of hours into it as well as a number of students who followed me. A few of my instructors put time into it as well. I would put it up against any builders chassis' produced by high end shops.

Here is a list of features of the chassis:

QA1 chromed front shocks
6" drop spring-over front axle
Ford style spindles
11" disk brakes
27" hair pins
Vega steering box
1932 Ford front crossmember (the plan was to put a shortened 32 grill shell on it)
Shortened heavy duty Ford 9" rearend
Carrera coil-over rear shocks
Four-link rear suspension

The frame is Z'd in the rear and kicked up in the front to provide a 6" ride height. I had a set of nice steel wheeled big n' little whitewalls for all four corners from Coker. Unfortunately the rears were stolen but the fronts are still there. The frame horns are bobbed. And so much more. A lot of thought and effort went into this chassis that there are too many features to list. This is a super nice frame and it kills me to sell it but unfortunately I've had to turn my priorities elsewhere. Speedway sells it's Model T builders frame for $5000. Art Morrison, Fatman Fabrications, etc. sell similar builders frames for close to $8000. This is a great price for and outstanding chassis.

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history

Sat, 03 May 2014

You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
