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!!

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.

FIA introduces 'Hypercar Concept' for World Endurance Championship

Sun, Jun 10 2018

One of the most common jabs at hypercars is the question, "Where can you drive them to their potential?" Imagine the answer being: to the checkered flag in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We're not there yet, but the FIA World Motor Sport Council took a step closer to the possibility during its second annual meeting in Manila, the Philippines. One of three initiatives the WSMC announced for the 2020 World Endurance Championship was "Freedom of design for brands based on a 'Hypercar' concept." This "Hypercar concept" would replace LMP1 as the premier class in the WEC. The dream, of course, would be seeing racing versions of the AMG Project One, Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, Bugatti Chiron, Koenigsegg Regera, McLaren Senna GTR, Pagani Huara BC, and the rest of the gang trading paint and carbon fiber through Dunlop in a heinously expensive version of "Buy on Sunday, sell on Monday." The reality is that we don't have all the details yet on the set of regulations called "GTP," but the FIA wants race cars more closely tied to road cars, albeit with the performance level of today's LMP1 cars. Exterior design freedom would shelter internals designed to reduce costs, the FIA planning to mandate less complex hybrid systems and allow the purchase of spec systems. One of the FIA's primary goals is lowering LMP1 budgets to a quarter of their present levels. Audi and Porsche budgets exceeded $200 million, while Toyota - the only factory LMP1 entry this year and next - is assumed to have a budget hovering around $100 million. Reports indicated that Aston Martin, Ferrari, Ford, McLaren, and Toyota sat in on the development of the proposed class. If the FIA can get costs down to around $25 million, that would compare running a top IndyCar team and have to be hugely appealing to the assembled carmakers. The initiative represents another cycle of the roughly once-a-decade reboot of sports car racing to counter power or cost concerns. The FIA shut down Group 5 Special Production Sports Car class in 1982 to halt worrying power hikes, and introduced Group C. In 1993, Group C came to an ignoble end over costs; manufacturers were spending $15 million on a season, back when that was real money and not one-fifth of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Then came the BPR Global GT Series that morphed into the FIA GT Championship, which would see the last not-really-a-road car take overall Le Mans victory in 1998, the Porsche 911 GT1. That era would be most aligned with a future hypercar class.
