This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A Sedan!  The car has been driven regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.  Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising.

This is as finished as a Rat Rod could go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like.  The paint is flat black with old school scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.  The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer.  The car comes with a removable waterproof canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the back with custom leather buckle down straps.  The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head lights on each side.  The rear tail lights are 1939 Ford.  The 1930 Chrysler side door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the right amount of chrome to go faster.

The interior is finished in wood and stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by Tanksinc.  You might question the comfort of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable and look great.  The red center console is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together.  A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high speed speedo’s back in the day)  The other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts.  The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be removed for security purposes.  The Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a stage gun for a few bucks on-line.

The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake.  The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears.  The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes.  The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes.  The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.

Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans

Tue, Jun 9 2015

All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.

Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War. While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford previously belonged to. The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.
