1930 Model A Ford coupe, hot rod modern style. This car was restored by an older gentleman in or around 1994. I purchased the car from another fellow who purchased the car from the estate.

I was going to make a period correct hot rod out of it but after owning it for awhile, just couldn't bring myself to take off the fenders, splash aprons, running boards ect. It would look pretty cool

with them off and perhaps a 32 grill and shell added to the front, but I'll let the new owner be the judge. I had the engine completely rebuilt by Antique Engine Rebuilding out of Skokie, Ill. It has

all the good stuff, line bored, inserts, bronze thrust washers, stainless valves ect. It also has a new 6:0 Snyders high compression head installed at the time of rebuild. It also has the Weber downdraft

intake and carb along with a new set of Red's headers. It now has all kinds of power (an additional 25-27 horse) so it is running around 65-67 horsepower. I will list all the new parts which are;

Rebuilt engine

Weber carb and intake

Reds headers

float-a-motor, front and rear

new alternator

new leak-less water pump with stainless shaft

new style fan and hub

rebuilt starter with new bendix drive

new coil

modern style points,cap, and wiring

new set of gauges, oil and water

new battery carrier

temp probe pipe

 new red hot muffler and tail-pipe

new hoses

new brake drums and new shoes on the front with other new brake parts, brakes work very good.

new tires with Firestone style tread, new tubes and liners

new modern style shocks from Snyders, the good kind.

new switch

along with many other new parts. I have all receipts. All of the above done with-in the last few months.

This would be a great car to tour in or just go for a Sunday drive in smart fashion, fun to open the hood and show off the carb and headers!!

It is for sale in the 48 States only, no warranties except the engine builder has told me he would stand behind the engine for an amount of time to be certain it has no problems which it doesn't.

Along with the engine rebuild, the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and the pilot bearing were replaced.The transmission has been rebuilt and shifts like a dream, headlights, tail-lights

 and brake lights work, fuel gauge works fine, just a great little car. I am getting to old to get into and out of this car as I am 6-3 and 245lbs. The price is somewhat negotiable thanks for looking!

Ford Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut

Mon, Dec 1 2014

According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit – a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show – think Geneva – and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division – like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
