I am listing my 1933 Ford Victoria. I built it from the ground up using a kit bought by a friend when he lost interest. He said he ordered it from a place called Badass Street Rods, and it came with a very nice 3 inch chopped fiberglass body, along with an independent Mustang II front end. It has a 9 inch Ford rear with 3:36 gears, chrome coil over shocks all around, 4 link rear suspension, front disc brakes, rack and pinion manual steering, rebuilt TH350 Transmission, rebuilt 355 C.I. Chevy small block, Vortec heads, Edelbrock dual four intake with twin 500 cfm carbs, remote fill master cylinder, aluminum radiator with a pusher electric fan, 1932 Ford headlights with halogen bulbs and hidden turn signals inside, along with ceramic coated headers, extra loud gear drive timing set, and power windows.
The body has new base/clear paint in British Military Green, hand applied orange and tan pinstriping, all new glass, chrome tilt steering column, light up Ford emblem on the dash, with Dolphin gauges. There is a metal inner structure and wood in the body for strength and upholstery. I installed front and rear seats from a Ford Aerostar minivan, and they fit nicely! It has a pro wiring kit installed, but needs some finishing for all of the items to work.
The frame and all suspension parts have been powder coated to match the body, with new tires, and Cragar Street Pro wheels (15x6 and 15x10). All of the "tin" on the engine has been replaced with powder coated aluminum parts. For fun I have also added a pewter donkey hood ornament, and a nickel plated Ford script oil can (mounted in the original bracket to the passenger side cylinder head).
The car runs, drives, and sounds awesome. I have shown it in unfinished form for 2 seasons now, and it wins a lot of trophies! It just needs the wiring kit finished, door panels, headliner, and garnish moldings installed. The power windows have been tested but never wired up, but I will include the new switches, along with a remote electric door popper kit, and repro door handle kit, so the new buyer can install whichever they would like. This car has a clear title, and is titled as a 1933 Ford Victoria.
If you have any other questions, call me at: 402-304-8508, or email me. Thanks for looking!

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
