1929 Tudor Traditional Hot Rod Flathead Trip Deuces Rat White Scta Bonneville on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
This is an original steel 1929 Ford Tudor Sedan that has been chopped 6" & channeled 4" over an original modified Model A frame. The frame was swept up in the front & kicked up in the rear. Front of frame is original, with a Model A VIN that matches the open title! Frame is boxed & with an aftermarket dropped Model A front crossmember, rear of the frame is 2"x 4" box tubing with custom made rear crossmember. Center K member is custom built which includes the Pete & Jake's ladder bar crossmember. Steering is an original F1 steering box & pitman arm. All rust was removed or treated with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. The front lower cowl panels were replaced, as well as the lower door skins. Patches were used on the quarters. All body work & paint were done with quality products! Paint, sealer & primer were all PPG. Body was taken down to metal & coated with a combo of Eastwood Rust encapsulator & DP 90. Primer was PPG DP74 & paint was PPG Deltron. The color was "Semi Gloss" cleared with PPG Flexed N Flat & PPG DCU 2021 Clear Coat. I have leftovers that can all go with with the car.
The engine is a freshly rebuilt 1950 8ba flathead with Offenhauser heads, Mallory dual point distributor, Edelbrock intake with 3 Holley 94's set up with progressive linkage. Carburetors are freshly rebuilt including new oversized throttle shafts fitted to the bases, 12 degree secondary blades, power valve block offs in the outer carbs, new gaskets, etc. Headers are fully tig welded Lakes Style headers. There is no other exhaust on the car. I replaced the stock water pumps with new Speedway water pumps about 8 months ago because one of the originals began to leak. The radiator is a custom built 3 row aluminum radiator (painted black to hide it's non-traditional feel) that is cooled by an electric fan (only other non-traditional item on the car) mounted under the '34 Ford Truck grille shell. Unknown amount of chop on the grille shell because it was already chopped when I bought it. Transmission is a 1950 ford 3 Speed that works flawlessly! The shifter is an old Hurst shifter, with modified handle for space & convenience. Front suspension is a 4" Superbell dropped axle with Superbell spindles and Pete & Jake's dropped steering arms hung out front from original split wishbones. It has a super quiet Posie's Superslider front spring with chrome shocks hung from F1 shock mounts. Rear suspension is Pete & Jake's ladder bars holding a very nice '47 Ford Truck rear, open drive banjo axle with 3.78's, Chrome shocks & a Posie's Superslider '40 Ford spring. Original Ford 16" steelies are wrapped with Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00's up front & 7.00's out back. Wiring is a Rebel wiring harness, all soldered & shrink wrapped & covered with asphalt loom to keep with the traditional feel of the car! Head lights are original Model A with 12V bulbs mounted with SoCal Speed Shop stainless headlight mounts. Tail lights are '59 Cadillac bullets tastefully Frenched into the body. Fuel system consists of an 11 gallon fuel cell that feeds a Carter electric fuel pump, set up with all necessary relays/wiring & regulated by a Holley fuel pressure regulator mounted where the factory fuel pump is located on the flathead. A 3 port fuel log feeds the 3 Holley's. Please feel free to contact me about any other questions. I will assist in shipping the car anywhere, but it will be the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipping. Any serious buyers are welcome to come see the car in person before auction end. I have a video posted on Youtube of the engine running, but I do not know how to attach it here. Email me and I can send you the link!

Glass is new tempered safety glass! I added a few pictures of the interior, engine, rear & pedal shots. I have pictures of the inside of the engine when I had the intake & carbs off. Email me, and I will send those & pictures of the carbs, if desired. Thanks for bidding! On May-24-14 at 15:47:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I also forgot to mention that the transmission tunnels (2 pieces) are designed to be easily unbolted from the top. The seats bolt to them (4 bolts each, all bolted to welded in bungs = easy removal!), so they have to be removed first, but the trans tunnels come out from the top in case one would need to get in there for maintenance, etc. It opens up enough to actually pull the transmission from the top! |

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
