1929 Tudor Traditional Hot Rod Flathead Trip Deuces Rat White Scta Bonneville on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
This is an original steel 1929 Ford Tudor Sedan that has been chopped 6" & channeled 4" over an original modified Model A frame. The frame was swept up in the front & kicked up in the rear. Front of frame is original, with a Model A VIN that matches the open title! Frame is boxed & with an aftermarket dropped Model A front crossmember, rear of the frame is 2"x 4" box tubing with custom made rear crossmember. Center K member is custom built which includes the Pete & Jake's ladder bar crossmember. Steering is an original F1 steering box & pitman arm. All rust was removed or treated with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. The front lower cowl panels were replaced, as well as the lower door skins. Patches were used on the quarters. All body work & paint were done with quality products! Paint, sealer & primer were all PPG. Body was taken down to metal & coated with a combo of Eastwood Rust encapsulator & DP 90. Primer was PPG DP74 & paint was PPG Deltron. The color was "Semi Gloss" cleared with PPG Flexed N Flat & PPG DCU 2021 Clear Coat. I have leftovers that can all go with with the car.
The engine is a freshly rebuilt 1950 8ba flathead with Offenhauser heads, Mallory dual point distributor, Edelbrock intake with 3 Holley 94's set up with progressive linkage. Carburetors are freshly rebuilt including new oversized throttle shafts fitted to the bases, 12 degree secondary blades, power valve block offs in the outer carbs, new gaskets, etc. Headers are fully tig welded Lakes Style headers. There is no other exhaust on the car. I replaced the stock water pumps with new Speedway water pumps about 8 months ago because one of the originals began to leak. The radiator is a custom built 3 row aluminum radiator (painted black to hide it's non-traditional feel) that is cooled by an electric fan (only other non-traditional item on the car) mounted under the '34 Ford Truck grille shell. Unknown amount of chop on the grille shell because it was already chopped when I bought it. Transmission is a 1950 ford 3 Speed that works flawlessly! The shifter is an old Hurst shifter, with modified handle for space & convenience. Front suspension is a 4" Superbell dropped axle with Superbell spindles and Pete & Jake's dropped steering arms hung out front from original split wishbones. It has a super quiet Posie's Superslider front spring with chrome shocks hung from F1 shock mounts. Rear suspension is Pete & Jake's ladder bars holding a very nice '47 Ford Truck rear, open drive banjo axle with 3.78's, Chrome shocks & a Posie's Superslider '40 Ford spring. Original Ford 16" steelies are wrapped with Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00's up front & 7.00's out back. Wiring is a Rebel wiring harness, all soldered & shrink wrapped & covered with asphalt loom to keep with the traditional feel of the car! Head lights are original Model A with 12V bulbs mounted with SoCal Speed Shop stainless headlight mounts. Tail lights are '59 Cadillac bullets tastefully Frenched into the body. Fuel system consists of an 11 gallon fuel cell that feeds a Carter electric fuel pump, set up with all necessary relays/wiring & regulated by a Holley fuel pressure regulator mounted where the factory fuel pump is located on the flathead. A 3 port fuel log feeds the 3 Holley's. Please feel free to contact me about any other questions. I will assist in shipping the car anywhere, but it will be the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipping. Any serious buyers are welcome to come see the car in person before auction end. I have a video posted on Youtube of the engine running, but I do not know how to attach it here. Email me and I can send you the link!

Glass is new tempered safety glass! I added a few pictures of the interior, engine, rear & pedal shots. I have pictures of the inside of the engine when I had the intake & carbs off. Email me, and I will send those & pictures of the carbs, if desired. Thanks for bidding! On May-24-14 at 15:47:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I also forgot to mention that the transmission tunnels (2 pieces) are designed to be easily unbolted from the top. The seats bolt to them (4 bolts each, all bolted to welded in bungs = easy removal!), so they have to be removed first, but the trans tunnels come out from the top in case one would need to get in there for maintenance, etc. It opens up enough to actually pull the transmission from the top! |

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Meet Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller, Iowa's latest hatchet-wielding criminal
Fri, Jul 11 2014Well, we've found the long-lost cousin of yesterday's Bentley-tattooed criminal from Florida. This is Shelby Mustang GT500 Miller. No, seriously. While his name seems just like the sort of thing we'd expect the Sunshine State to produce, he actually hails from Iowa. Despite coming from the Hawkeye State, Miller was arrested for a decidedly Floridian offense – getting in a bar fight and then returning with a hatchet. The only way this story could be more Florida is if meth, a manatee or bath salts were involved. The fight, which was at the Cheap Seats Sports Bar, started off typically enough, with a verbal argument in the parking lot (please, please let his nemesis be named "Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Smith"). This, naturally, attracted passing police officers. Things were broken up and some friends took Miller to his home, which was apparently just behind the bar. That's when he returned with the hatchet tucked under his shirt. Miller promptly proceeded to take out the implement of destruction in the bar's bathroom and... forget about it entirely. Fortunately, the police hadn't left the area yet. Not surprisingly, Miller was arrested for a parole violation, as well as public intoxication and going armed with intent. Still, cool name, bro.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
