1930 Ford Model A 5 window coupe


Pay attention people as this is a great opportunity for a real deal steel 5 window coupe that has had a professional chop done, roof filled and frame work completed.
I am listing this for a good friend so here are the items I was made aware of:

Frame has been boxed
Hydraulic clutch and brake pedals and masters installed
Front suspension has a chrome drilled super-bell axle with chrome hairpins and chrome shocks
Steering by way of a Vega box with new components. Steering is nice and tight. Has a factory style GM colume.
Rear suspension is a Chevy early 60's style rear that has been rebuilt with all new drum brake components.
Even has new white wall tires and rears are studded snows! Think of the sparky burnouts!

Body is all steel with no signs of ever having rust.
Roof has been professionally filled and chopped. All garnish moldings also cut down and chromed.
Fenders and running boards all very clean straight steel.
Has steel floor pans and two different firewalls for your engine preference.
Trunk lid appears to be new. Lid and doors open and shut properly.
Hood is painted yellow with ghost flames and in really nice shape.
Has an aluminum fuel cell perfectly fit to the trunk.
Body is mounted to chassis properly and all loose items will be inside or attached for shipping. Car rolls easy.
Also comes with new chrome bumpers and brackets.

This is an excellent project, only selling as he has too many projects at this point and needs to focus on getting some things done.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to get an extremely clean 5 window with all the right mods done as the foundation for your project. This is not a junky ratrod and reserve is reflective of this.  Please bid what you are willing to pay and I promise it will be fun and a worth while purchase.

Please feel free to ask questions if you need to. One thing I need to mention is being the body is on the frame I am unable to confirm the vin stamped on frame is a match. It does come with a title which I assume is correct I just needed to disclose this.

Good luck everyone and happy bidding.

 Hello and thank you all for the great response and questions. One of the main questions was the chop...it has been chopped 4".
When considering this car please take into account how much time this starting point will save you overall and how clean and solid your car will be. Not only will it give you piece of mind it will also recapture your investment down the road when you show that you didn't start with a bastard. At 85 years old, she shows extremely well for her age. Best of luck.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016

Wed, Jan 27 2016

If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
