1930 Ford Coupe Chopped Model A Hot Rod Traditional Project on 2040-cars

Year:1930 Mileage:999999
Location:

Sebastopol, California, United States

Sebastopol, California, United States

I have a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe for sale. 

It has been chopped, including the windshield, back window and quarter windows,
the garnish moldings were also chopped.

It is on a Model A frame with a 4" step in the rear, stock rear crossmember, and stock front crossmember, but it has been trimmed to fit a V8. The original center crossmember is not in
the frame.

It has a really nice Model A rear axle, with a Model T spring, including the torque tube and radius rods. The gear ratio is 3:78.
There are later brake drums and hubs but no backing plates or hardware.

It has an Original Model A Ford front axle that was dropped about 4", with 1942-48 Ford spindles,
that have been bent to mount the shortened tie rod. It has a 1928-32 reverse eye front spring, longer perches with lower shock mounts. There are later hydraulic brake drums, but no backing plates or hardware.

The front axle is mounted with 1937-40 Ford wishbones that have been split and chromed long ago.
The brackets where the wishbones mount to the frame are only tack welded, so final location can be 
determined by next owner.

It has Ford 16" rims, with some old hot rod firestone tires. 750-16 rears and 550-16 fronts

It has original 1950 Pontiac Tail lights.

It has a three piece hood of unknown origin. I have been told it is a 1931 Chevy Truck hood, but I can't confirm that.

It has a 1932 Ford 4 cylinder radiator.
And a 1932 Ford pick-up grill shell.

It has what appears to be a 1931 Chevy dash, with some vintage gauges made to fit, and some missing.

I will include a 1948-52 Ford F1 truck crossmember and pedals, which will make mounting hydraulic brakes easier.

The body does have some rust around the bottom, but comes with two patch panels for the rear quarter panels.

It also comes with another back panel for below the deckled.

There is a bench seat in the car, but I don't think it is stock, and it would probably need to be recovered.

The sub rails were cut out from behind the seat to the back of the body, but the section that is there from
the seat back to the fire wall it pretty good. Seat pan and frame are good. 

Looks like newer wood in the roof, the top was filled long ago with a sheet of galvanized sheet metal.

Doors open and close nicely. There are no hinges on the deck lid, but there are rumble seat brackets on the body.
I will include the hinges for the deck lid to be a rumble seat.

It will take a fair amount of work to get this on the road, but if you want to build an old hot rod this is a very good start.

If you put in a flat head V8, and 39 style transmission it would bolt right up to the rear axle, and bolt into the
F1 crossmember I have included.

I could even include Vern Tardel's book on How to Build a Traditional Hot Rod, if you want it?

If you want a painted finished car, this will take a lot of work.

But if you want a car that looks like it just got drug out of a field, this is it.

Car is sold as is where is, no title, only bill of sale. 
I cannot find any vin numbers on the frame, there may be some on there, but I don't see them.

Buyer is responsible for pick up or delivery by hauler of your choice, all cost to be paid by buyer.

This car is also for sale locally, and if it sells locally, the auction will be cancelled, since the item will no longer
be available.

Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
