Heres a chance to get you butt into the seat of a pretty bad ass and interesting head turning hot rod, my freind Dylan of the band "Reckless Ones" owns this car and built it years ago, he has had the car for almost 8 years, and has decided its finally time to part with the car, the car had been sitting for a couple years while the band toured and he decided he just couldnt give it the time and love this car needs. The car was built to resemble a 50s altered drag sedan, its a 29 ford model A tudor, it has been chopped 6 inches, channeled about 6. its is on a stock but modified (z'd and boxed) frame, the front end consists of a 33-36 ford axle with 40 ford wishbones, and the axle was modified to accept 1954 chevy spindles and brakes, also on the front are 49-53 chevy rims with coker 560-15 tires. the rear suspension consists of a 66 olds cutlass 8.2 rear end and trailing arm type suspension with coil springs and tube shocks. the transmission is a th350 that has a stall convert and shift kit. now the best part of the whole car, the motor, its a rebiult 283 with forged pistons and a comp cams camshaft, later model 76 cc heas to lower the compression to a tollerable level for the blower, the heads had hardened seats and bronze liners installed also, the motor was bored and competely rebuilt, grank ground, new oil pump timing chain lifters bearings rings, etc etc. the intake is a offy intake modified to accept a 6-71 blower, the blower had been rebuitlt for the street. to top is all off is a vintage and rare wieand 8x2 blower top with 8 holley 94 carbs, the car is running only 4 of the 8 carbs to alleviate some of the trouble! the car was built about 10 years ago and all mechanical asspects were new, kingpins, tie rod ends, brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder etc etc, when origianlly built it had a stock runner 283 but that motor was worn out so the new motor was built 4 or so years ago and doesnt have a huge amount of miles on it. the radiator is located at the rear of this car and is a 70s gm 3 car radiator. it had two nice large electric fans also. im sure im missing some stuff.
now i will try and describe some of the issues the car has...... it needs a higher stall converter, it has a 2000 ish stall and could use a 2700-3000 ish stall to make the car much more driveable. also, it has 4 carbs, with the 4 carbs it can be finicky, the car was built when Dylan was 20 so he learned alot on the car and it might not have the best welds but will hold together, a month after he finished it he took it on a 800 mile round trip and had very little problems with it. and has never had to do any major work on it to keep it on the road. after the 2 year slumber he went out charged the battery and it started up and drive it 20 miles to my house, we spend a day on it tidying some stuff up and going over the carbs to get it back up to good running condition, these things take some work and some love all the time but thats the cost of having such a different and special the car, care has to be taken with the cooling system to make sure there are no air pockets, he has never had any problems with it overheating except when there was an air pocket.
this is an old car and drives like one, i am 6-2 and dylan a little shorter, he fits ok, im not very confortable in the car, but it is what it is.
one more thing, the car is title and registered as a 29 dodge, at the time he bought he car it was a junkyard body and hadnt had a title nor vin code for many years, he had planned to find a ford title for it but never had the time. if the car were to go overseas we could looking into finding a ford title for it but at the cost of the buyer.
also the shipping cost and arrangments are all the buyers responsibility, i will be here and help with the loading etc etc but thats it.
the car could be kept here for a few weeks or so any more and we would have to make arrangments.
when purchasing this car a $500 paypal deposit will have to be made with in 48 hours of purchase then we will arrange the rest after that.
thanks

2015 Ford Expedition stays the course, adds EcoBoost power
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The era of the body-on-frame, fullsize SUV is rapidly vanishing in favor of smaller, unibody crossovers. However, Ford still sees life in the segment with the reveal of the updated 2015 Expedition, now available (solely) with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. The new truck will make its public debut at the 2014 DFW Auto Show in Dallas on February 19.
The loss of the previous 5.4-liter V8 in favor of Ford's 3.5-liter, direct-injected, twin-turbocharged V6 engine might rankle some of the Expedition's fans, but Ford claims that the change gives the SUV better fuel economy, more power and increased low-end torque than before. Unfortunately, official engine specifications won't be released until later this year, but Ford says engine output will be similar to the 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque that this powerplant produces in other applications. The EcoBoost is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, and the SUV now uses electrically assisted power steering, for an even greater fuel economy advantage. Ford claims this also allows for better maneuverability at low speeds and better feel at high speeds.
Exterior styling is basically unchanged for 2015. The front end has the same three-bar chrome grille and headlight design, but the lower air dam gets added chrome and LED lamps. The rear gets more brightwork on the hatch, and there's a chrome-tipped exhaust pipe. As before, Ford is offering the Expedition in two wheelbase lengths - 119 inches and 131 inches. A new, optional, continuously controlled damping system alters suspension settings constantly based on 46 parameters and offers comfort, normal and sport modes (just like the Expedition's sister, the recently refreshed and decidedly less-attractive Lincoln Navigator).
Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
