So this is my 1930 Model A project. Its pretty far along in the mock up stage and doesnt need alot before its ready for finishing. I bought the car in virginia as a running barn find and chopped it up. The top is chopped 4.5" and needs finish welded. the passenger door has had a new bottom installed. Both cowl bottoms, wheel tubs and body rails have been replaced. the cowl tank has been cut out and the roof was filled before i got the car. The car needs the floors and the firewall completed. A steering column needs to be added and its ready to brake down and finish. the frame has been boxed and kicked up in the rear. The front end is all new superbell drilled and 4"dropped. There are new king pins, spindles, rotors, caliper brackets, steering arms, spring, shackles, drag link, vega box, pitman arm and hair pins. The rear is a 9" from a versalis and is 28 spline open with 331 gears. i have some of the rear disc brake parts but not all of them. The rear suspension is a pete and jakes ladder bar with panhard bar and coil overs. The motor is a 283 that ran a few years back but needs rebuild, the tunnel ram and sanderson headers are included. The trans is a good low mile 350 turbo. there are new guide 182 replica headlights and the car comes with the hood and sides. I have a seat from a dodge mini van that comes with it. The wheels and tires are new boyds and are halibrand replicas, they are dirty but have not seen the road. What you see is what you get so ask questions up front. The car obviously needs work but i feel the hardest part is done.
I will look at possible trades but be realistic, i dont want your low value junk!
The car needs to be picked up and all arrangements made by new owner. obviously its a project so once you buy it you own it there are no guarantees. I need $500.00 down within 24 hours and the rest paid in cash within a week.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
