For your consideration is a beautiful 1930 Ford Model A Street Rod. By first glance, it has a Rat Rod look. But at closer examination, this classic has a ton of money put into it, with the best of the best parts and accessories used in the build. If you want to ‘blend in’ in a crowd, this may not be the car for you! At any angle, the Model A just looks ‘right’. Quintessential in every aspect! A Throwback to a much simpler time, that all of us would like to go back to!

The build began August, 2006. It took about 3 years to complete. There is about 450 miles on the build of this car since its completion. It is a Bruiser Body, from Lake Havasu City, AZ. The unfinished “rolling Chassis” and body shipped to the door was $16,800 in 2006! Keep that in mind-unfinished! Without Engine, Trans, Interior, gauges, etc! What increases the cool factor of this Ford is the 401 V8 Buick Nailhead engine, with the 3 x 2 Carburetors, connected to a brand new Tremec 5 speed Manual Transmission. I am unsure to the horsepower rating, but it is quick! Smoke the tires fast, and won’t hurt you at the pump… A great combination! Below I have highlighted the Specs & NEW parts used in the build:

Bruiser Enterprises Reproduction 1929 Model A 2 door Sedan Fiberglass Body with Steel Reinforcement. Painted Flat Black with Satin Clear. 5” Chop, 4” Channel, with the Drilled Visor option.

401 V8 Nailhead Engine (from a 1963 Buick – mileage unknown).

Tremec 5 Speed Manual Transmission.

4 “ Boxed Frame by Street Rod Engineering, Painted Gloss Black.

Rack and Pinion Cross Steering- (Feels like Power Steering).

3x2 Offenhauser Intake and Rochester Carbs. (Built by Automotion).

Offenhauser Nailhead Valve Covers.

Joe Hunt Magneto’s Electric Distributor.

Red Powdercoated Steel Wheels, with Chrome V8 Hubcaps.

Ford 9” Rear end with 4:11 Gears.

14 Gallon RCI Fuel Cell.

Optima Battery w/ Protective Plastic Cover.

Custom Airplane Style Black Leather Interior with matching Headliner and Interior Door Panels, and Black Carpet.

Custom Hand Painted & Cleared Pin Striping and Nailhead.

Over $50,000 was spent on the build. I have a folder packed full of receipts to document the enormous investment put forth to create this machine. Make no mistake, this car is the real deal that will satisfy the fussiest buyer. It runs great! Straight down the road with no shimmy or vibrations. With the small steering wheel, and rack and pinion steering, makes this rod much easier to drive then you would think. And the distinct sound of the Nailhead is just awesome. This is a tremendous opportunity to acquire a turn key Street Rod and a fraction of the build cost, while not having to wait 2 – 3 years to complete!

I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied. I have clean clear title in hand. If you have less than 5 feedback, please email prior to bidding. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Don't assume anything. This is a legal binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you are obligated to complete the purchase. You are not bidding on the opportunity to come and look at the vehicle and decide if you want to purchase the item! Also, please have all financing or funds in place prior to bidding. In other words, ask your wife first!! $1,000.00 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance due within 7 days of auction close.

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!

Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and Drive it Home!

I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info.

I do not send second chance offers!

THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  BID TO OWN!!

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.

Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.
