1955 Ford Country Sedan. This has a bit of a rad rod look on the mostly original exterior. Lowered in the front with modern disc brakes and 2 chamber master cylinder (not power). Explorer mag wheels. Had to list "OEM" options in the listing, but real specs - Mild 302 with aluminum intake and new 600 Holley. 1980's style SROD 4 speed overdrive floor shift. 9" rear end. All new 12v harness, bulbs, etc. heating system redone (original). All correct dash. Extra parts included - Radio, clock, trim, misc.  Originally a V-8 car, 3 on the tree.

Most everything about this car is stock or stock appearance. Slight lowering gives the car a great look. Smooth riding and drives easy. Overdrive allows for highway driving at very comfortable revs. All around great ride that really turns heads. Interior side panels need to be redone. Modern radio head unit installed with bluetooth hidden under seat with custom steering wheel type controls to the One-Year-Only round dash radio (must experience, cool feature done myself - details included with car). Extra original Radio included. Extra clock included.  Has a few things that need attention but it's a driving project car. You can get in and drive it home. Everyone stops to look!

Changing interests and just too many projects puts this one for sale.  Hate to sell - It's a Fun Car!  For Sale locally, I reserve the right to end the listing at any time.  Email with any questions or to talk on the phone.  Clear title, running and driving, Sold AS IS.

*********************  Updates  *********************
A few people have obviously asked about rust, underneath, engine bay, Etc.  Email me and I can send more pictures of the car or parts of it.  Additional info:
- Small gas leak near the tank needs to be tended too.  It's a brand new tank, I think it is the line, but unconfirmed.  Time permitting will try to fix.
- Rear passenger floors have glass cloth repairs on the lowest portions of the floors.  They feel solid under foot, but would want attention at some point.
- Front floors have had some small spot repairs.  Again, not soft under foot anywhere.
- Front drivers rocker has 2 small holes, but nothing else through any where.  Appear pretty solid.
- Lower tailgate has some rust and was partially repaired.
- This car was Pennsylvania State inspected expiring 7/13 when I got it in late 2012.  I put antiques on it which don't require inspection so it wasn't reinspected.
- The speedo gear in the (modern) trans is loose on the shaft so the speedo isn't currently working.  You have to take off the tailshaft housing to fix so while apart I was going to rebuild the transmission.  I never got to taking it out and working on it, but I did get a new full transmission rebuild kit with bearings and syncros which is included with the car.
- There is also a NEW set of air shocks for the rear end purchased a few months ago, but never installed included.

Any other questions, just let me know.  Thanks!

Drive pits Ariel Nomad against Suzuki bike

Thu, Oct 1 2015

Ariel introduced the Nomad at the beginning of the year, which is basically an Atom converted to sand-rail duty with the addition of features like a composite cage and waterproof cockpit, Hella light bar, and Ohlins suspension with hydraulic bump stops. Evo reviewed it not long after, now Drive has got hold of it and put Steve Sutcliffe at the wheel, sending him to the Sweet Lamb Rally Center in Wales. The Nomad in this guise also gets a winch and BF Goodrich tires with a rear high-mounted spare. The motor is a US-spec, 2.4-liter Honda unit tuned to 240 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque, all going to the rear wheels only. The weight is just 1,477 pounds. For kicks, they sent Northern Irish motocrosser Graeme Irwin along to give Sutcliffe a point of reference. We're used to seeing cars battle bikes, and unless it's wet or the race goes to beyond 200 miles per hour the bike almost always takes it. Irwin was on his Suzuki RMZ-450, a bike with about 60 hp, but that, combined with Irwin's skills, was plenty enough to keep Sutcliffe hard at work. You can watch the dust fly in the video above.

Suzuki previews Crosshiker, X-Lander, Hustler ahead of Tokyo

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With the Tokyo Motor Show looming on the horizon, Suzuki has revealed a trio of concept cars it will present at the expo.
First up is the Crosshiker concept, a compact crossover that looks good enough in metallic red, but in its essence reminds us of the oft-maligned X-90 convertible crossover coupe. Based on the G70/Regina concept, the Crosshiker packs a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine into a compact form that weighs just 1,785 pounds.
Next comes the X-Lander, which strikes us as a smaller take on the formula espoused by the Isuzu VX-02 or Land Rover DC100 Sport concepts. Unfortunately based on the Jimny, the white X-Lander incorporates a 1.3-liter engine with a robotized manual and four-wheel drive into a high-riding, chopped-windshield convertible sport-ute form.

Suzuki testing Grand Vitara replacement that is now forbidden fruit

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

Suzuki might be dead in the US, but its cars are still thriving in many other markets. Aside from the updated SX4 and a slew of promising concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show, Suzuki is getting ready to launch a much-needed replacement for the aged Grand Vitara, and our spy photographers recently caught the compact SUV testing in Sweden.
Judging by these spy shots, the replacement for the current Grand Vitara - it may or may not retain the Grand Vitara name - will take its styling cues from the Suzuki iV-4 Concept displayed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. These cues include the narrow, angular headlights, the sloped D-pillars and we even get a hint of the sculpted rear-wheel arches. We hear that the new Suzuki SUV could go on sale in Europe next year, so we'd expect it to debut later in 2014.
