1930 Ford Roadster runs and drives great. Solid body with dings and dents. This car has been driven a lot plenty of 100+ mile round trips going to cruise ins and shows has been very reliable. Doesn't need anything to be driven but could use front shocks and a different windshield set up.
Chassis
2"X4" square tubing Z'd in rear. Rear suspension is Chevelle type triangulated four link on coil overs rear end is a later model Malibu rear with disc brakes and is non posi traction. I think the gear is a 3.42 it has no problem keeping up with traffic at reasonable engine RPM. Front end is a 39 ford straight axle with split wishbones, suicide steering , transverse leaf spring and disc brakes. ALL new brake lines, master cylinder Calipers are new or rebuilt. 4 wheel disc brakes stops good.
Engine
350 small block chevy bored 30 flat top pistons completely rebuilt with new pistons, stock cam, lifters, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, water pump, pulleys, and the head were rebuilt as well. Eldelbrock carb on a aluminum intake. HEI distributor. Has chrome pans and covers. Headers have muffler built in them and turn outs. Engine runs great with no issues.
Transmission
Turbo 350 stock convertor shifts out good has a B&M shifter and trans cooler.
Interior
Basic interior two van seats, B&M shifter a couple gauges, wood dash no non essential items.
Body
Body is solid has been patched here and there but does have dings and dents as expected in a rat rod. Passengers door has a lot of dents and is the worst part of the car. The windshield frame on it really needs to be replaced with a original type it functions fine I just don't like the look of it. Speedway motors sells them new or used ones are available if you look. trunk doesn't open it wouldn't matter if it did because the frame kicks up so high in the rear that it doesn't leave any room anyway.
Wheels and tires
Convo pro wheels and the tires have good tread.
Electrical
All new wiring harness, switches, turn signals, head light, cowl lights, and tail lights. All lights work and signals work.
Any questions just ask. This car has a Kentucky assigned VIN # and a clear title it is titled as a 32 Ford it has been inspected by the state and if the buyer wants I can have the state update the title to a 30 it will take some time to have this done.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration
Tue, Dec 23 2014If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
