1930 Ford Model A Coupe Rat Rod Hot Rod Chopped Kustom Custom 5 Window on 2040-cars
Arcata, California, United States
|
1930 Model A 5 window coupe. This is a project that needs quite a bit of work but has potential to be saved. It is just propped and tacked together for the pictures. The teenage rat rod butcher got a hold of it, but it can be brought back if you have the skills and vision.
302 with vintage Edelbrock valve covers, Demon carb. Motor is wired and runs, auto trans, driveline is in place. Fuel tank mounted and plumbed. Steering is hooked up and functional. Brakes are hooked up with pedal mounted, proportioning valve. Electric fan but also have the blades for mechanical fan. This car will start and drive but needs lots of proper mounting and frame work. The body has been chopped and shaved. It has original steel and some of the wood inside and a bunch of bondo on the roof. Doors open and close with latches. No windows but does come with rear side glass and frames. The body is not mounted to the frame just propped in postion for pictures. It will need full interior and some frame work. There is no floor and the inner fenders are fairly butchered. There is no firewall just cardboard in the pictures. Original steering wheel. Has an extra grill shell that has been cut. Tires are dirty but brand new. Rear tires are Firestone and are 31" tall white walls, still have the nubs on them 0 miles. Front wheels have surface rust. No title but will have a bill of sale. The original numbers are legible and stamped in the frame and checked by CHP. THIS IS A TOTAL PROJECT AND IS SOLD AS-IS. Shipping or transport is the responsibility of the buyer. I will send pictures of any parts youd like to see more of and answer any questions about anything, Thank You |

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 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.
Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
