Clearing the Garage out
Up For Sale is a 1929 Model A Rat Rod car
It isnt a Boyd Cottington example by far, but if you are looking fo a fun little summer machine to scoot around town in this might be the one for you.
It is powered by a Chevy 305 V-8, the engine has had some mild perfomance work done to it and it really runs good.
This car is ver light and when you stomp on the gas the front end will come off the ground, I don't thin k the car will break the sound barrier, but it is kind of a neat trick at the Saturday night "50's" street rod gatherings, if anything.
It has a 400 Automatic transmission with over drive which operate flawless.
Ford 9 inch rear end
All the lights and horn work too.
It has a 5 gallon fuel tank, so stay close to gas stations.
It is a fair car, it is not perfect, but it is just fine for a "RAT ROD" the body work could of been a bit better, but it is what it is.
The carb could use some fine tuning, as it has been sitting and may have some old fuel too, but it is fine.
I have never, ever drove this car on the highway, but if I was going to I would probably have the alignment checked.
It is a fun Saturday night Cruiser, perfect for a fun family type of gathering with folks who enjoy the same thing.
It has been to a few car shows for fun and it always draws the old school crowed, I have to say that I have a 100 point 57 Belair and the crowd that this car draws is a lot more fun than the crowd the Belair draws :)
Please feel free to ask questions, it is best to reach me by phone at 785-410-7615 my name is Chad
We will store the car for a reasonable 4-5 weeks at no charge, please insure it once you bought it as I do live in Kansas and Tornados seem to be attracted to us.
Shipping world wide is possible, its expensive at an average of $3400
I think I am being pretty fair on the price and believe it is bellow market value, but I am open to offers as it needs a home other than mine now :)
Best of Luck

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car
Mon, 24 Mar 2014There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.
FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
