This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A
Sedan! The car has been driven
regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.
Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time
cruising.
This is as finished as a Rat Rod could
go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like. The paint is flat black with old school
scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes
laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.
The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with
white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer. The car comes with a removable waterproof
canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the
back with custom leather buckle down straps.
The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head
lights on each side. The rear tail
lights are 1939 Ford. The 1930 Chrysler side
door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the
right amount of chrome to go faster.
The interior is finished in wood and
stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by
Tanksinc. You might question the comfort
of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable
and look great. The red center console
is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together. A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed
with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made
by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high
speed speedo’s back in the day) The
other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil
temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts. The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to
a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be
removed for security purposes. The
Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid
over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center
console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a
stage gun for a few bucks on-line.
The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake. The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears. The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes. The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes. The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh
Wed, Sep 14 2016Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated
Mon, 21 Apr 2014We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
