Vintage Ford 1928-1929 Model A Coupe Hot Rod, Scta 1932 on 2040-cars
Burnsville, Minnesota, United States
|
Up for auction is my personal Original Henry Steel 1929 Ford Model A Coupe. The car is setup on an original, pinched, 1932 Chassis. The Car comes equipped with a 307 Small Block Chevrolet. I also put a new intake with 2 Edelbrock 4 barrel carbs from Speedway. I am also running Gear Drive Lake Headers with baffles. The car is running a Turbo 350 Trans with a 1966 Nova rear. The car has been chopped, approximately, 3 inches so plenty of room. I am 6' 1" and have another couple of inches of head room to go. The brakes are Bendix style, self energizing in the front with the Nova rear drums in back. It is running 15" Firestone bias ply tires all around. Tires only have 3k miles on them so plenty of tread left. Car has all garnish moldings in place along with cut glass. I purchased a 32 style dash (not painted) and also placed a full set of brand new Stewart Warner gauges in it.
You can drive this car anywhere. I have taken it on an 800+ mile trip for the last couple of years and runs like a champ. It's a traditional hot rod so it consumes some oil on long trips and drips small amounts of oil when parked. This is not a street rod or show car. Its a DRIVER that you hop in and go. Rides very well at 65 and 70 mph. One finger on the steering wheel. The only reason that I am selling it is because I have 5 other cars and not enough space to keep them. I have nothing to hide with this car. If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I buy many hot rods myself and don't like bad experiences. I am surely not going to deliver one to the new owner of this car. This is a bitchin little hot rod so bid away. The car has a clean MN title in my name. The buyer is responsible for paying a $500 Non Refundable deposit 48 hours after the winning bid, via Pay Pal. The buyer is also responsible for all shipping costs associated with getting the car to its new home. OR COME PICK IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME! The buyer and I will discuss the remainder of the payment via telephone. The car is being sold as is and with no warranty stated or implied. Once the car is purchased it is yours. |

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back
Wed, Jun 11 2014While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
