I’ve decided to sell my 1930 Model A Coupe. I’ve had the car for close to ten years, it came to me as an abandoned street rod project. I wanted to build a more traditional style hot rod and that is how the car is now. I never intended for the car to have a finished look it was always going to be a primer car. The car is by no means a rat or ratty. My plans were to have a safe solid car and that’s what it will be when finished. Over the years I have worked on the car on and off as my interest motivated me. The car is titled as a 1930 Ford. The title is clear and in my name. -it has a very solid body with the necessary patch panels (forward & rear quarters, inner rear fenders) installed -the cowl has been rebuilt to repair the street rod damage and poor workmanship, replaced the poorly installed hidden door hinges with new model a hinges, the upper hinge is gone as a result of a bad chop job. -the chop is approximately 6 inches now, it started out roughly 4 inches and I took out 2 inches to clean it up it still is not perfect but it is a lot better than when I got it. The previous owner chopped it and welded the body together, poorly, to cut it apart you will need to source a rear window panel. -the doors are nice and only need a little more work to finish fixing where the hidden hinges where installed -I reversed the firewall for engine room -it will need the visor reinstalled -the trunk lid needs to be finished, the skin was removed and louvered That said the body is very solid and is 90% finished unless you should choose to replace the rear window panel. -the frame is a boxed stock model a unit that is kicked in the rear 6 inches and stretched to 106 inch wheelbase -it has a custom k member that resembles a ’32 k member with rear facing legs that the ladder bars attach to -driveline is in and installed, motor & trans mounts done -’51 331 Chrysler hemi that was removed from a running car about 7 years ago -’69 Ford big block top loader 4 speed with a new Wilcap adaptor and flywheel that will use a 11 inch ford clutch -narrowed van 9 inch rear with 31 spline Dutchman axles, 3.00:1 open diff -dropped original Ford ’32 heavy axle -round back spindles with juice brakes -split ’39 wishbone -stock ’30-31 radiator and grill shell -’51 F1 steering box -6.00-16 front, 7.50-16 rear tires on 16” black ford steel wheels, the tires are new, only used as rollers and always stored indoors -MG seats -guide 682 headlights I know there are details I have missed please ask questions if you have them. If you would like to see the car that can be arranged, please contact me. I would consider trades for a 4x4 Willys wagon or truck. I would also consider a 1950’s 4 door car or wagon. This car is an unfinished project and is not drivable. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally. The car is sold “as is” with no warranty expressed or implied. A non refundable $400.00 deposit via Paypal is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction . Balance of payment is due via cash on pick up or certified bank check 10 business days before the car is picked up. If paying by certified check I will not release the car before 10 business days after receiving the check. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements. The car must be picked up within 20 days of the end of the auction.
zero feedback bidders bids will be canceled if you do not contact me first

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
