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.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
