I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up.  I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod.  The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC.  The rest of the truck was build in CT.  The truck is all steel.  All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed.  The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs.  It also has tuned headers.   It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back.  The exhausts are new.  It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear.  It has coil over shocks on the back.  The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent.  It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread.  I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works.  Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment.  The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it.  Still using the original ignition switch.  Have installed a correct steering wheel.  The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine.  The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look.   The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper.   I have very recently added the cowl lights.  The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine.  I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night.  The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better.  There is an instrument panel overhead.  It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer.  In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player.   All the metal is good.  Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust.  The battery is in the yellow  "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed.  All the electronics work.  There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel.  The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there.  The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head.  Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console.  Each windshield wiper has its own switch.  The door handles are original.  They pull "to you" to open the doors.  There is an electric heater under the seat.  It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed.  It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good.  It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it.  (I don't.)  A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides.  It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can.  If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information.   Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
