1930 Model A 5 Window Coupe

 

You are viewing a very cool 50’s style Model A Hot Rod.  The car was fully restored as stock in the 80’s.  Purchased 5 years ago with all updates done in the last 2 years as stated in the rest of the description.  Less than 50 miles on the car since completed.  Vern Tardel AV8 method was used on most everything in the build.

 

Please read on for more particulars of the car:

 

Body/Paint:  The body is all steel with the exception of the front fenders, which are fiberglass and were installed on the car when it was initially restored in the 80’s.  Rear fenders and running boards are steel.  The body is in overall very good condition with some small rust areas, but mostly surface rust.  New trunk floor with POR15.  The paint is butternut, which looks like a cream with a slight amount of yellow.  The paint is single stage with a few chips and scratches, but has just the right amount of patina.  Fenders are black and in excellent condition.  Overall great hot rod look with no need to address anything regarding body or paint.  It is just right the way it is.  Gas tank in original cowl location.  Engine side panels come with the car, but are not altered to fit with the exhaust pipes.  The firewall is uncut and the grill shell has not been moved.  Head lights are stock and work well.    

 

Interior:  The interior is very presentable and comfortable for a Model A.  The material used looks period correct and fits with the rest of the look of the car.  Original gauge bezel with gas float that works.  Odometer works, amp, key and speedo, all work.  Added SW temp and oil pressure gauges with chrome bezel.  Vintage Sun “Football” 6V tachometer with updated sender box with solid state conversion that works great.  Light switch and push bottom start, both new as well as the ignition switch with 2 keys.  Emergency brake handle in place, not functional, but can be.  42 Chevrolet Fleet Master steering wheel on Ford column in excellent condition.  The Chevy splines were welded to the column.  Horn works, but not hooked up to the steering wheel.  No wipers, but comes with original vacuum motor.  No turn signals. No seat belts.  New floor.  Custom bent shifter with glass shift knob.      

 

Running Gear:  50 8BA flathead rebuilt as stock and runs excellent.  Offenhauser polished aluminum intake with two Stromberg 94’s, rebuilt.  Mallory dual point distributor, battery and voltage regulator are new.  Generator is rebuilt (6 volt).  New water pumps, fuel pump, hoses and engine mounts.  Great oil pressure.  Transmission is rebuilt 39 Ford with new clutch and F1 transmission cross member.  Custom column drop and spacer between the torque tube and transmission.  Pedals are Zephyr.  Rebuilt Model A Banjo Rear end with low gears.  New aluminum radiator.  Runs cool.  All new cloth covered traditional wiring.  Rebuilt F1/A steering box.    

 

Suspension:  Dropped and drilled front axle with new kingpins/bushings and tie rods.  Front wish bones are 32 drilled and un split with stock rears, not drilled.  Friction shocks on the front, no shocks on the rear.  Stock frame with new Model T rear spring.  The bottom side of the car and frame is restored and is super clean and looks new.  All new wood blocks with rubber between frame and body.  All excess holes in the frame have been filled and ground smooth and painted.    

 

Brakes:  Brakes are fully restored 40 Ford all the way around and work excellent.  New lines, cylinders and dual master cylinder with drilled brake backing plates.   

 

Glass:  Replaced in very good condition with slight tint.

 

Exhaust:  Hand built tig welded headers pipes.

 

Bright work:  Chrome and bright work in overall good condition with some original patina such as the door cranks.  Fits the car well. 

 

Wheels/Tires:  40 Ford wheels with caps and beauty rings.  Firestone tires with 5.50 16 fronts and 7.50 16 rears with very few miles.  Nice set up and stance. 

Summary:  The car is very reliable and can be driven anywhere.  Done, dialed in and ready to go and be enjoyed by new owner.  Classic example of an early American Hot Rod and needs nothing.  I have over 100 pictures of the car so please contact me and provide your email address if you would like additional pictures.

Disclaimer:  The car is for sale locally.  The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason.  No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.

Hennessey showcases F-250 VelociRaptor SUV

Mon, Jun 29 2015

With automakers embracing smaller and smaller crossovers with each passing year, it'd be all too easy to forget about the Ford Excursion. Bigger than the Expedition (or just about anything else on or off the road), the Excursion was based on Ford's Super Duty truck chassis to put even the likes of the Chevy Suburban, Nissan Armada, and Toyota Sequoia to shame. It ceased production ten years ago now, but Hennessey is bringing it back – sort of. Feast your eyes on the Hennessey VelociRaptor SUV. The design calls for a very fullsize, truck-based sport-ute based on the Ford F-250. Only instead of a pickup bed, it's got four proper side doors and a covered cargo bay with a pair of barn doors at the back. Hennessey will fit it with three rows of seats to accommodate seven or eight passengers, and of course it'll offer a range of upgraded engines as well. What starts out with a 6.2-liter V8 producing 411 horsepower can be supercharged all the way up to 600 or even 650 horses. For those who don't want to spend their life's savings at the pump... well, this probably isn't the right choice of automobile, but Hennessey will offer an enhanced 6.7-liter PowerStroke diesel with 440 hp and 880 pound-feet of stump-pullin' muscle. Naturally there'll be other visual and mechanical upgrades on offer as well, but none of this will come cheap – or fast for that matter. Hennessey will take six months to put one together, and demand nearly $160,000 for the conversion.
