1928 Ford Model A Tudor "Rat Rod"

2013 New Orleans World of Wheels Best in Class Winner

Someone might ask, "Why would someone sell this car?"

It was not an easy decision. Growing Family.....

I love this car. Theres alot of blood, sweat, and tears in every inch of it. This car comes with a complete pictorial log of when it was picked up from a farm in Missouri, built by the previous owner, when I bought the car, the work I put into it, and all receipts for parts and material. As you all know, this is rare to have such a history on a car but when you have a passion for something "Like a child" thats what you do.

Now about the car.

This car is a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Rat Rod.

Original frame has been boxed with 3/16"plate for strength and Zee'd with 2"x4"x3/16" tubing to tuck the rearend. The body was knotched to "Hide the Rails" for a cleaner stance. Body has new patch panels and was chopped 5" and channeled 4" for lowering. Car sits about waist high when air bags are lowered.

Roof and sides were reinforced with 1" steel tubing. Side and back glass are tinted brown laminated safety glass and front windshield is clear laminated safety glass. Doors have working window regulators and latches. Roof was topped off with oak ribs and snaps were installed for adding a canvas top.

Engine, stearing column, peddle assembly, and dash came from a 1967 Ford F100. Engine was completely rebuilt with new bearings, rings, oil pump, pins, pistons, and seals. Crank was polished and oil holes chanfered. Has great oil pressure. Heads were machined surface, new seats for springs, valve guides, polished intake and exaust, new Thumper Comp Cam w/matching springs, and Stainless Steel High Flow Valves. Intake is a single plane aluminum with a 3 duece adapter and correct Ford 3 Duece Holley set up. Motor has a solid looping sound.

Front end is a 4" drop Super Bell "I"beam front axel with original split wishbone suicide frontend. New reverse eye slider spring. Frontend complete hub to hub from Speedway.

Transmission is a T-5 5 speed. This transmission came from a 86' Mustang and was completely rebuilt.

Rear end can from a 89'Lincoln Mark 7 with 327 gears with new calipers and pads. Parking brake also works. Triangular 4-link with air bags that are manually fill from an old brass fire extinguisher air tank mounted in back.

Plenty of custom touches.

Air Horn and Oogha Horn.

Original Spare Tire.

Master cylinder is a Corvette style with added front brake lock on "10 Ball" shifter.

Copper trim on front end, motor, interior, and around top.

LED lighting on interior and LED in motor scope that is tied to coil so the light dances with motor. Very cool when you see it.

I know theres some things I forgot but with a car like this its easy too.

If you have any questions please contact me. Buyer assumes all responsiblity for shipping. I can assist with loading.

Car is for sale locally so sale may end early.

I hope the person that wins this car loves it as much as the previous owner and myself. This is a head turner and a car show winner with multible awards. So you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you spend extra time when traveling because getting gas normally last around 30 min. "People love to talk about it"

A payment for $500 is due at end of auction.

Thanks for checking it out ...... Happy Biding.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
