 2013 New Orleans World of Wheels Best in Class Winner

Someone might ask, "Why would someone sell this car?"

It was not an easy decision. Growing Family.....

I love this car. Theres alot of blood, sweat, and tears in every inch of it. This car comes with a complete pictorial log of when it was picked up from a farm in Missouri, built by the previous owner, when I bought the car, the work I put into it, and all receipts for parts and material. As you all know, this is rare to have such a history on a car but when you have a passion for something "Like a child" thats what you do.

Now about the car.

This car is a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Rat Rod.

Original frame has been boxed with 3/16"plate for strength and Zee'd with 2"x4"x3/16" tubing to tuck the rearend. The body was knotched to "Hide the Rails" for a cleaner stance. Body has new patch panels and was chopped 5" and channeled 4" for lowering. Car sits about waist high when air bags are lowered.

Roof and sides were reinforced with 1" steel tubing. Side and back glass are tinted brown laminated safety glass and front windshield is clear laminated safety glass. Doors have working window regulators and latches. Roof was topped off with oak ribs and snaps were installed for adding a canvas top.  

Engine, stearing column, peddle assembly, and dash came from a 1967 Ford F100. Engine was completely rebuilt with new bearings, rings, oil pump, pins, pistons, and seals. Crank was polished and oil holes chanfered. Has great oil pressure. Heads were machined surface, new seats for springs, valve guides, polished intake and exaust, new Thumper Comp Cam w/matching springs, and Stainless Steel High Flow Valves. Intake is a single plane aluminum with a 3 duece adapter and correct Ford 3 Duece Holley set up. Motor has a solid looping sound. 

Front end is a 4" drop Super Bell "I"beam front axel with original split wishbone suicide frontend. New reverse eye slider spring. Frontend complete hub to hub from Speedway. 

Transmission is a T-5 5 speed. This transmission came from a 86' Mustang and was completely rebuilt.

Rear end can from a 89'Lincoln Mark 7 with 327 gears with new calipers and pads. Parking brake also works. Triangular 4-link with air bags that are manually fill from an old brass fire extinguisher air tank mounted in back.

Plenty of custom touches.

Air Horn and Oogha Horn.

Original Spare Tire.

Master cylinder is a Corvette style with added front brake lock on "10 Ball" shifter.

Copper trim on front end, motor, interior, and around top.

LED lighting on interior and LED in motor scope that is tied to coil so the light dances with motor. Very cool when you see it.

I know theres some things I forgot but with a car like this its easy too. 

If you have any questions please contact me. Buyer assumes all responsiblity for shipping. I can assist with loading. 

Car is for sale locally so sale may end early.

I hope the person that wins this car loves it as much as the previous owner and myself. This is a head turner and a car show winner with multible awards. So you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you spend extra time when traveling because getting gas normally last around 30 min. "People love to talk about it"

A payment for $500 is due at end of auction.

Thanks for checking it out ...... Happy Biding.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
