Are you ready for summertime fun with the whole family? This small investment will do the trick! Due to a serious health issue I must downsize my car collection. This is a replica of the 1931 Ford Model A that will seat 5 passengers for top down summer fun. This replica is made by a company called "Glassic" in West Palm Beach Florida. They were factory manufactured between 1966 and 1981. This car uses the famous International Scout four cylinder engine and chassis with a three speed manual transmission. They made 1600 replicas of this wonderful car. (Look up http://glassicannex.org/history.htm) for more information. Unlike the real Model A Ford, this car can cruise at highway speeds all day long with no problems and stop with great hydraulic brakes. This car also has a hydraulic clutch matched up with the 3 speed transmission for ease of shifting. A lot of thought and engineering was involved producing this car. The car handles great handling with the scout suspension and easy steering. A full gauge instrument panel shows speed and engine functions along with a radio/CD player and heater/defroster combo. Car also has blue neon lights underside for your evening car shows and cruises and of course an old "aaooggaa" motor driven horn. The car has snap in plastic windows for wet or winter weather along with dual windshield wipers. New tires (6) with wire hubcaps, includes dual side mount spares. It also features a luggage box on the back. The car has a clear New Jersey title and is titled as a 1968 Ford Glassic. I added authentic Ford Model A taillights and gas cap on front cowl. The speedometer shows 71,000 miles and I was told it was mechanically thoroughly rebuilt by the owner that had it in Ohio about 2,000 miles ago. The car is excellent mechanically and I can't prove that claim but I believe it is all rebuilt. I have a lot of local interest in the car and reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Shipping is the buyers responsibility but I will help anyway I can on my end. I hate to sell this car but I must so please be sincere and ask any serious questions before bidding. My reserve is much lower than I paid for the car but health forces the sale. Please call John at 856-327-0289 or cell phone 609-501-5192 and I'll answer sensible questions. Bid with confidence and good luck. God Bless - John.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
