Model A 1930 Coupe on 2040-cars
Rapid City, South Dakota, United States
1930 Model A Ford coupe. A very solid original car with rumble seat and rear mount spare. No body patches or rust out, fenders are very nice and solid as is the entire car. I will list what has been done so far, Rebuilt engine by Antique Engine Rebuilding, cyclinders bored, new pistons, rings ect, new valves and springs, crank turned, cam reground/replaced, new timing gears, oil pump, flywheel faced with new clutch and pressure plate, new throw-out bearing, and pilot bearing every thing has been completely rebuilt or replaced. This engine is new with less than five miles since installed back into the car. It also has a new Weber carb and intake on it, along with a new set of Reds headers.The starter was rebuilt with-in the last year and the generator last two. Engine is mounted with a Float-A-Motor front and rear. tranny was rebuilt about three years ago. It has a new set of gauges (oil and temp) mounted in a new bracket. New style dist. cap and rotor along with new style points and new wires and ends. Has a new water pump with a stainless shaft, also the engine has the 6:1 Snyders high compression head. The rebuild also includes new SS valves, new guides, new adjustable lifters, inserts on the main and rod bearings and resurfaced block. After I had the engine back in the car and running ( and Wow does it run nice!) I took it for a short drive, kind of fun to start out in low and just get the car rolling good and then shift into high, no power problems here. Other things I have done were to replace the junction box on the engine side of the firewall, replace some wiring, replace the gas gauge and float, ect. The car will need some brake work, the brakes stop the car like a Model A but could be better, I was considering juice brakes, but the original Model A brakes when up to snuff work just fine. The battery box and cables have been replaced also. If there are more question call 605-791-one four nine seven, evenings are best. The hood, front bumpers, headlights and horn are not on the car at this time, but I can reinstall before shipping/delivery. Depending on how one would like to finish the car up consider the work that has been done thus far, you could go old school hot-rod or very well hidden souped up original. (The V-8 wheels are available separate of the car because I thought some may not want them.) I will expect $500.00 down through pay-pal with-in 48 hrs of sale and the balance wire to wire bank transfer. I will help with loading ect. if you need the car shipped to you. To be sold with-in the 48 States Only! thanks for looking! |

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
