Clearing the Garage out

Up For Sale is a 1929 Model A Rat Rod car

It isnt a Boyd Cottington example by far, but if you are looking fo a fun little summer machine to scoot around town in this might be the one for you.

It is powered by a Chevy 305 V-8, the engine has had some mild perfomance work done to it and it really runs good.

This car is ver light and when you stomp on the gas the front end will come off the ground, I don't thin k the car will break the sound barrier, but it is kind of a neat trick at the Saturday night "50's" street rod gatherings, if anything.

It has a 400 Automatic transmission with over drive which operate flawless.

Ford 9 inch rear end

All the lights and horn work too.

It has a 5 gallon fuel tank, so stay close to gas stations.

It is a fair car, it is not perfect, but it is just fine for a "RAT ROD"  the body work could of been a bit better, but it is what it is.

The carb could use some fine tuning, as it has been sitting and may have some old fuel too, but it is fine.

I have never, ever drove this car on the highway, but if I was going to I would probably have the alignment checked.

It is a fun Saturday night Cruiser, perfect for a fun family type of gathering with folks who enjoy the same thing.

It has been to a few car shows for fun and it always draws the old school crowed, I have to say that I have a 100 point 57 Belair and the crowd that this car draws is a lot more fun than the crowd the Belair draws :)

Please feel free to ask questions, it is best to reach me by phone at 785-410-7615 my name is Chad

We will store the car for a reasonable 4-5 weeks at no charge, please insure it once you bought it as I do live in Kansas and Tornados seem to be attracted to us.

 

Shipping world wide is possible, its expensive at an average of $3400

I think I am being pretty fair on the price and believe it is bellow market value, but I am open to offers as it needs a home other than mine now :)

 

Best of Luck

A tribute to William Clay Ford

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.

2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
