1929 FORD MODEL A COUPESTER/ROADSTER, US $15,000.00, image 1

For sale is my 1929 Ford Coupester (titled in TN as a roadster). It started out as a coupester conversion sometime in the 60s and I carried it much further over the past several years. I shortened the length of the body/doors by 4.5" to improve on the body proportions, and the doors have been narrowed to roadster thickness. The panel above the trunk was also replaced with a roadster one to unify the look. Here's the more specs:

-Chevy 305 with Edelbrock Performer package (cam, intake, etc), NEW Edelbrock 1406 carb, NEW HEI distributor, water pump, etc
-Aluminum Powerglide transmission, floor shift
-Model T gas tank and battery box in the trunk
-Juice brakes all around
-8" Ford rear, new drums, shoes, internals
-Original Henry Ford axle dropped by Okie Joe
-32 Chevy Hood for longer hood length
-35 Ford wire wheels
-55 Buick steering wheel
-Cowl modified to accommodate real roadster stanchions and windshield
-Patina paintjob to give it the Post-War gow job look
-Cowl steering via BMW 2002 steering box
-E-brake via classic Porche e-brake handle
-The numbers on the side wash off!
-Extra electrical fan with switch on dash for those hot CA days in traffic
-Headlights converted to halogens!
-Partially boxed frame
-Gas shocks front and back to smooth the ride on our *wonderful* CA roads!
-Glass packed mufflers and custom exhaust
-Custom rag top frame in progress (if you want it) and extra patch panels. Any area where it was patched in the 60s that you may not like, I had sand blasted and primed, but kept it for the "gow job" look. The patch panels I have are for all those areas if you want to change it!

OPEN TO PARTIAL TRADES: Interested in 1964-69 Pontiac Tempest/Lemans and 1965-69 Ford Torino/Fairlanes


I'd love to hear from you if you're truly interested, and we can talk further....*HOWEVER*, this is what I'm NOT interested in:
-Anyone trying to "sell" it for me
-Trades for random things like late model clunkers, travel trailers, bike parts, crud you don't want in the first place
-Folks contacting me to tell me what it's *not* worth
-Scammers....I've dealt with it before, so I can smell it coming.
-I won't do spec work on it for you per your request before buying.

What I *DO* expect:
-Honest dealings by honest people. If this car isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty more out there, it is what it is.
-I'm not selling this due to any financial hardship or personal need. I'm actually selling it to benefit my church and their new building, so if you want to negotiate price and perhaps a tax deductible donation to my church, that's a possibility.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
