Jezebel 1930 Tudor Sedan
Up for auction is Jezebel a one off custom traditional hot rod from Fod's Garage. This Beautiful sedan was completed in March of 2013 and debuted as a display vehicle at the annual Hot Rod and Restoration show in Indianapolis. The car was also used on the banner of their website for this years show. The car has been in Street Scene Magazine and on Motor Head Garage. This car was inspired by the show cars of the 50's and 60's. Over the top body modifications and extreme attention to detail. Please take time to look over the pictures here and more on the Fod's Garage website. Photo from show is of Jezebel as well as other vehicles available for sale. We provide turn key customs as well as commissioned builds. If you have any questions contact me before placing a bid (fod@fodsgarage.com or (812) 216-0635). Don't know why anyone would assume anything different but the car is equipped with functioning, windows (all four), tilting windshield, headlights (high and low), tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn. You get the idea. The speedo is not hooked up needs cable. Being listed as having 15 miles, this is aprox how many miles have been put on since build completion.
Exterior We started with a solid original 1930 tudor sedan. The top was chopped a massive 7 inches. In order to retain correct proportions the body was sectioned 2 inches. Anyone familiar with custom cars will tell you the combination of these modifications is a tremendous amount of work. Any rust or previous poor repairs were cut out and replaced with new sheet metal. The body has also been channeled but not in the traditional manner. When looking in the door opening there is no step reducing interior room. This was accomplished by using a new sheetmetal floor and full custom chassis. The end result is head room equal to a channeled and 4 inch chopped A. The car has new wood throughout. Gaps were set far tighter and with more precision than anything Ford ever did. The body was wrapped in a beautiful three tone DuPont paint job. Topped of with old school pin stripes. A new high quality top was installed with mesh and padding. The grille shell is a new 28-29 grille with a woven stainless insert. The original model A headlights were fitted with halogen bulbs new lenses and turn signals in the housings. Wiring is sleeved with black woven cloth loom. Rear bumpers were added for a unique look.
Interior Sitting in the driver seat you will see a Nash instrument cluster mounted in the center of a custom Model A dash. Cluster was sent out after reshaping to be chromed. The dash along with other metal trim inside the car is charcoal with black accents and maroon stripes to match the exterior. The inside of the car was primed, sealed and sound deadened prior to upholstery. The seat is a custom bench back style with bucket lowers. The seat bottoms as well as the back is contoured, not just a flat slab. Upholstery is done in black with ribbed charcoal inserts. The fuel tank has been located in the rear of the passenger compartment with a full firewall seperating it from the inside. The raised panel behind the seat houses the rear suspension. Fuel tank firewall, rear suspension cover, and transmission tunnel are all removable to allow access to all drivetrain from either inside or under the car. There are locations for storage on both sides behind the seat large enough for chairs, small cooler, cleaning supplies, and over night bags. The sedan also has a full headliner with dome lights. Interior is finished off with square weave black carpet.
Chassis Jezebel sits on a full custom chassis. The lightening holes in the front have been sleeved. All joints in the frame have been plated for additional strength. Chassis is full TIG welded. Front axle has been smooth and drilled. Front brakes are new disc units from speedway motors as are the king pins and spindles. Steering is provided through a cowl mounted reversed Ford truck box mounted under the dash. Rear frame rails are mandrel bent. Rear suspension is 4 link with a diagonal bar for locating the 9 inch Ford axle. Coil overs are used for adjustable ride height. Plumbing and wiring are retained with stainless clamps, frame is drilled and tapped for attachment with stainless hardware. The brand new wheels along with all other chassis parts are powder coated black for high quality long lasting finish. Wheels are wrapped in new whitewall Firestone tires.
Drivetrain Power is supplied by a 350 Chevy with a mild cam. Valve covers, air cleaner, and oil pan are finned cast aluminum. Custom headers are ceramic coated by Jet Hot. Transmission shifts firm and equipped with a finned aluminum pan. Cooling is provided by new radiator with electric fan and aluminum overflow tank.
Pages could be written covering all of the work and products used to complete this car. If you have any specific details you would like further information on feel free to contact me. I can not express the quality and attention to detail in this sedan. As previously stated this car has been published in print and on tv.

Legal type stuff
As
is with all custom vehicles there may be items that do not conform to your
local laws. Custom/hot rod vehicles are not factory production units and
therefore many not perform as such. These could, but do not necessarily
include: interior or air ride leaks, altered ride and handling characteristics,
decreased visibility, modified or removed safety items, deeming them off road
use only. Therefore all altered vehicles are sold for off road show
purposes only. Fod's Garage is not responsible for any damage or injuries
caused while operating this vehicle. This car is in good working
order but is sold as is with no warranty or guarantees.

Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.

The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
