1929
Ford Roadster Nostalgia Hot Rod No “replica” in
fiberglass or metal. It’s the real deal. Looks like a ’32 because of the frame
and grille (which are ’32 REAL DEAL). A lot of newer street rodders don't
appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but this one is sure to
give them a run for their money. It combines the two looks into one cool
machine. The BIG difference…you can get this one for a fraction of the price! A
lot of the street rods around nowadays are new-age fiberglass but this one is
an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body. It was
created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact that it is still
around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford body is nicely
mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for the chrome
spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the addition of the
32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along with the Ford
logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in bright yellow
and buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary Larry West who
designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Birds. When we say this
is a nostalgic, old-school hot rod we should probably explain what we mean.
It's not that this car was done in the style recently. No. This style
actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the
late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building
"old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in
2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle frenched purple-dot taillights.
The trunk is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around on American
Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer than 300
miles). And the only modern update for safety sake…4-wheel disc brakes that
were added last year. The mechanical details” 1956 CHEVROLET

REAR END Engine was torn-down
and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me,
both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be
replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild. The interior of the
car is nicely finished with black bucket seats. The dash is topped with Stewart
Warner wing gauges mounted in a nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is
mounted the Lokar shifter. An aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in
place. Oh yes, an ooogha horn. To the
column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should. All of the
rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone through. So, what’s wrong
with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The
speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never
bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking
brake variety. This is NOT a
show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven, envied and enjoyed. Cars of this age are not titled in
Georgia. It does have a Texas title. Bob 404-210-7753 |

15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles
Tue, Mar 8 2022Americans drive a lot. Collectively, we put, on average, more than 13,000 miles on our cars each year according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Because of this, a vehicle's ability to travel long distances without major problems is a huge consideration when it comes time to purchase a new one. It's also worth remembering that keeping an older car on the road instead of trashing it and buying new can be considered an eco-friendly decision. After all, it takes a lot of resources to build a car. iSeeCars.com, a website that aggregates used car listings from all around the country, recently ran through the numbers on millions of vehicles that are currently on the road to determine which last the longest. Alternatively, you could choose to look at this list as vehicles likely to be driven by owners who travel long distances. Either way, we've laid out the top 15 vehicles most likely to hit or even surpass the 200,000-mile mark. It's important to note that while these are the vehicles that have stood the test of time up until today, we can't guarantee future results if you decide to opt for one of these from a current model year. That said, unless we specifically say so in the text below, we've used pictures of current models for illustrative purposes. Now, with all of that out of the way, scroll on down for the top 15 vehicles most likely to crest 200,000 miles. 15: Toyota Sienna 14: Honda Odyssey The 15th spot and 14th spot on the list of the top 15 vehicles most likely to surpass 200,000 miles are both minivans. Spoiler alert: They will be the only two minivans on the list. According to iSeeCars, 3.2% of both of these family haulers crest the 200,000-mile mark, making them the best bets for families looking to put a ton of miles on their machines. 13: Honda Ridgeline 12: GMC Yukon The next spot on the list is occupied by the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck with 3.7% lasting past 200,000 miles. Unlike any of the other midsize trucks it competes with, the Ridgeline is based on a unibody chassis. Opting for this more car-like structure — as opposed to a traditional body-on-frame layout — allows Honda's hauler to ride and drive more like a car. Up next is the GMC Yukon, also with 3.7% past the 200K mark, and the first, but very much not the last, big traditional SUV you'll see on the list. In fact, get ready to see a whole bunch of 'em, including several from GMC parent General Motors.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
