1929 Ford 2 Door Tub, Street Rod, Convertible on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
This is a very solid, with steel body and fenders in very good condition. The owner had removed the roof from this two door sedan, to make it a TUB, street rod. The roof is available, should you wish to make it back to a sedan, which I doubt, when you see the craftsman ship involved. This was done 20 years ago and left in his pole barn, along with installing a Jasper 350 SBC, turbo 350 and a GM 10 bolt rear end. It also had a Mustang 11 front suspension installed and a tilt wheel. The interior has bucket seats, rear seat, floor shift and is sanitary and in very usable condition. You will notice wood parts, in place of sheet metal. This is also done with a great deal of craftsman ship and fits very well. Over the years, it has picked a good share of chips and scratches, moving it towards the rat rod category.
The owner, who had moved to Arizona, contacted me and asked if I would be interested in putting this disassembled street rod together and getting it running, as he had sold the property. I agreed and after doing all that is required in waking up and assembling a 20 year storage car, it now runs, moves, stops, with working lights and gauges. At this point it is not streetable, needing attention to the brakes and the 20 plus year old tires. It is capable of driving onto a trailer. During the assembly, I noticed the need for three hood hold downs, as I could find only one. It has six aluminum E/T wheels, with big and little's on the car, and they hold air. I've done what I can the easy stuff is left for you. The reserve is very reasonable, because of that. May consider a finished lead sled trade, no projects. This car is listed locally and is subject to prior sale, ending the auction. |

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
