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.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?"
