1930 Ford Coupe 32 Chassis Hot Rod on 2040-cars

Engine:Chevrolet V8
Drive Type: Auto matic/9 inch

Mileage: 4,400
Model: Model A
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: Leatherette
Here is a very nice 30 A Coupe mounted on a made-to-fit 32 chassis. This car started as a clean, rust-free NC body which was then chopped 4" with the roof being filled in the process. It has a very nicely constructed full steel floor from firewall to tail lights with a louvered pan in the rear. The chassis is a unit built for this purpose by one of the best and well known race car builders in the NE. The rails are pinched to fit the 30 body and also bobbed in the rear. Crossmembers are well built using square tubing and the whole unit is a work of art in itself. The rear is a new Winters quick-change using 3:22 helicals that is not locked, uses normal Ford type brakes and has radius rods, panhard bar and coil-overs. There is a lot of polished aluminum, chrome and stainless along with well done AN hoses on fuel and transmission lines. All the info on the engine is from the builder who tells me that it is a LT1 350 using pink rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, .538 lift cam with World Products heads, MSD ignition, Edelbrock air gap and carb and headers. I cannot document any of the engine internals but it certainly runs well. Exhaust is full polished stainless from front to rear and is another work of art in itself. Interior is nicely done with a full compliment of gauges, tilt wheel and a heater. Wheels are Halibrand copies and are very nice. This little car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and would make an excellent low cost starter hot rod which could be taken to the next level if desired. It is and always has been a driver as indicated by the current graveyard of bugs on the radiator, these are thrown in at no extra cost to the new owner. All the aluminum on the car could use polishing but then you would need sun glasses. Also included is a three piece hood that fits rather well and is held in place by Zeus fasteners when desired. All three parts can be used or just the top if desired. Most questions about what is included can be answered by carefully looking at the photos. In the interest of honesty and full disclosure there are a few things that should be addressed although the car is fine to use as-is. As I sadly learned recently, a lie of omission is still a lie. First it has no e-brake whatsoever although the holes are present in the backing plates to add cables. One front tire is worn on the outside from being used on another car with questionable alignment. The steering wheel is very nice 17" Schroeder but with the car being so small and the steering so easy a 15" would make entry and exit somewhat easier. Another item I would change is the very tall Lokar shift handle which almost reaches the ceiling, awkward to reach the lockout at best. Lastly, the Sun tach does not function but may be looked at in the future if time allows. I am sure there may be some other questionable areas as on any used car but I have not found them. If I do they will be posted. Title is a clear and open NYS title/registration.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles
Fri, May 9 2014Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid
Fri, Aug 28 2015Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Ford UK exec says EVs are a good way to lose a fortune
Wed, Mar 19 2014Stateside, Ford execs are quick to point out the automaker's expansion in the plug-in sector. And despite a minimal presence in the pure EV space, the Blue Oval has been promoting its plug-in vehicles as part of an overall effort to boost fleetwide fuel economy. Too bad the company's UK chief didn't get the memo. There's "no point in us getting behind [EVs] and losing a fortune" - Ford's Mark Ovenden Mark Ovenden, speaking rather frankly at the Geneva Motor Show recently, said he didn't have real high hopes for substantial electric-vehicle adoption and said the company's money was better spent on smaller gas- and diesel-powered engines, the UK's Daily Mail says. Ovenden said of EV development that there was "no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune," adding that his goal was to have variants of Ford's EcoBoost engine in 40 percent of the company's vehicles. Ford has about a 15-percent market share in the UK. The UK doesn't appear to be as kind to the EV as the US. Nissan last year cut the price of its all-electric Leaf there last year by about $4,000, while the company rolled out a promotion for the Leaf late last year, including allowing Leaf drivers to borrow a gas- or diesel-powered Nissan for free for as long as two weeks a year during the first three years of Leaf ownership. In the US, Ford sold just 229 Ford Focus Electrics during the first two months of the year after moving 1,738 units in 2013.
