1930 Model A 5 Window Coupe

 

You are viewing a very cool 50’s style Model A Hot Rod.  The car was fully restored as stock in the 80’s.  Purchased 5 years ago with all updates done in the last 2 years as stated in the rest of the description.  Less than 50 miles on the car since completed.  Vern Tardel AV8 method was used on most everything in the build.

 

Please read on for more particulars of the car:

 

Body/Paint:  The body is all steel with the exception of the front fenders, which are fiberglass and were installed on the car when it was initially restored in the 80’s.  Rear fenders and running boards are steel.  The body is in overall very good condition with some small rust areas, but mostly surface rust.  New trunk floor with POR15.  The paint is butternut, which looks like a cream with a slight amount of yellow.  The paint is single stage with a few chips and scratches, but has just the right amount of patina.  Fenders are black and in excellent condition.  Overall great hot rod look with no need to address anything regarding body or paint.  It is just right the way it is.  Gas tank in original cowl location.  Engine side panels come with the car, but are not altered to fit with the exhaust pipes.  The firewall is uncut and the grill shell has not been moved.  Head lights are stock and work well.    

 

Interior:  The interior is very presentable and comfortable for a Model A.  The material used looks period correct and fits with the rest of the look of the car.  Original gauge bezel with gas float that works.  Odometer works, amp, key and speedo, all work.  Added SW temp and oil pressure gauges with chrome bezel.  Vintage Sun “Football” 6V tachometer with updated sender box with solid state conversion that works great.  Light switch and push bottom start, both new as well as the ignition switch with 2 keys.  Emergency brake handle in place, not functional, but can be.  42 Chevrolet Fleet Master steering wheel on Ford column in excellent condition.  The Chevy splines were welded to the column.  Horn works, but not hooked up to the steering wheel.  No wipers, but comes with original vacuum motor.  No turn signals. No seat belts.  New floor.  Custom bent shifter with glass shift knob.

Summary:  The car is very reliable and can be driven anywhere.  Done, dialed in and ready to go and be enjoyed by new owner.  Classic example of an early American Hot Rod and needs nothing.  I have over 100 pictures of the car so please contact me and provide your email address if you would like additional pictures.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]

Sun, 29 Jun 2014

If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
