You're looking at a No Reserve auction for a 1928 Model A Bantam style traditional hot rod with a custom, cut down Murray Body. It was a 4 door, but now the rear suicide doors are the front/only doors. The cowl, windshield and visor were moved back, and front doors eliminated. The roof was chopped, and body angle channeled for that perfect rake. This is not piece of crap "rat" rod. It is a clean, well thought out, high quality build from the ground up, using actual vintage parts that would've been available back in the '60s. The car is running, driving, is currently licensed, lights all work, turn signals are the type that model A's all used, Ooga horn works, brake lights, etc. The only two modern items on the car are the Lokar shifter and the radiator. The frame is original Model A rails that have been boxed to handle the much more powerful 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8 that came out of a 1965 Buick Electra. It has a TH-400 trans and the Electra rear axle with posi traction was installed. The front axle is stock Model A unit, but 1940 "juice" brakes were added. 1932 ford truck grille shell that has been channeled down with an aluminum radiator.

I have listed the car for my neighbor who built the car from just a frame and a body. This is truely a period-correct hotrod that has real heart and soul, NOT built from a catalog. He is in the final stages of cancer and is not interested in trades unless you've got a nice '58 Chevy Station Wagon. If you have other questions or would like to see the car in person, his sons are: Tracy 64l 42O 6785 or Robert 64l 42O 8674

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
