I’ve decided to sell my 1930 Model A Coupe. I’ve had the car for close to ten years, it came to me as an abandoned street rod project. I wanted to build a more traditional style hot rod and that is how the car is now. I never intended for the car to have a finished look it was always going to be a primer car. The car is by no means a rat or ratty. My plans were to have a safe solid car and that’s what it will be when finished. Over the years I have worked on the car on and off as my interest motivated me. The car is titled as a 1930 Ford. The title is clear and in my name. -it has a very solid body with the necessary patch panels (forward & rear quarters, inner rear fenders) installed -the cowl has been rebuilt to repair the street rod damage and poor workmanship, replaced the poorly installed hidden door hinges with new model a hinges, the upper hinge is gone as a result of a bad chop job. -the chop is approximately 6 inches now, it started out roughly 4 inches and I took out 2 inches to clean it up it still is not perfect but it is a lot better than when I got it. The previous owner chopped it and welded the body together, poorly, to cut it apart you will need to source a rear window panel. -the doors are nice and only need a little more work to finish fixing where the hidden hinges where installed -I reversed the firewall for engine room -it will need the visor reinstalled -the trunk lid needs to be finished, the skin was removed and louvered That said the body is very solid and is 90% finished unless you should choose to replace the rear window panel. -the frame is a boxed stock model a unit that is kicked in the rear 6 inches and stretched to 106 inch wheelbase -it has a custom k member that resembles a ’32 k member with rear facing legs that the ladder bars attach to -driveline is in and installed, motor & trans mounts done -’51 331 Chrysler hemi that was removed from a running car about 7 years ago -’69 Ford big block top loader 4 speed with a new Wilcap adaptor and flywheel that will use a 11 inch ford clutch -narrowed van 9 inch rear with 31 spline Dutchman axles, 3.00:1 open diff -dropped original Ford ’32 heavy axle -round back spindles with juice brakes -split ’39 wishbone -stock ’30-31 radiator and grill shell -’51 F1 steering box -6.00-16 front, 7.50-16 rear tires on 16” black ford steel wheels, the tires are new, only used as rollers and always stored indoors -MG seats -guide 682 headlights I know there are details I have missed please ask questions if you have them. If you would like to see the car that can be arranged, please contact me. I would consider trades for a 4x4 Willys wagon or truck. I would also consider a 1950’s 4 door car or wagon. This car is an unfinished project and is not drivable. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally. The car is sold “as is” with no warranty expressed or implied. A non refundable $400.00 deposit via Paypal is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction .

Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
