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.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24
Tue, 01 Oct 2013It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.
Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
