Your are bidding on an original 1931 Ford 2dr. Deluxe Phaeton.  This is not a cut down sedan.  I purchased this car because my '32 Roadster was too small and this looked like the solution to my problem. When I started to build it as a hotrod I found out the rarity of this body style.  It is the last ( I believe) wood framed body by Murrey.  I removed all of the wood, except the doors and replaced it with steel.  The subframe is 1 x 4 steel tubing made for the original wood pattern.  The B pillars were reproduced  in steel using all the original latching points. All of the rust issues have been repaired, this is a rust free car.  The patch panels were made at a restoration shop that had a 180A in for 100 point restoration.  There are new Albright Towing rear fenders and new Rootlieb running boards.  The front fenders are replacements and do need some attention.  After completion of the build (last photo) I drove Faye to Bonneville and pushed a 500cc Lakester to a Worlds Record 182+mph. After hitting a tree and damaging the T.C.I. chassis I decided to return it to its original roots and put the body on its original frame that I had kept. It came with the rolling running gear with mechanical brakes, torque tube (no engine or trans) and what I believe are '35 16" wheels.

The dash has been replaced with a '40 Ford, but can be removed.  I have misplaced the original radiator and steering column/wheel; therefore, the hood and radiator shroud are just for photo purposes.  I have the original convertible top mounting parts but nothing else for the top. I do not have the rear valance, I traded it for a pair of door skins, which will go with the car.  I have the replacement floor that can also be included, if desired.

Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?
Scroll down for a quick video from Ford Racing showing a production Fusion morph into a Cup car.
