1930 Hot Rod Ford Model A Street Rod Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Roxboro, North Carolina, United States
|
For Sale is an extremely well done, just finished 1930 Model A rat rod style street rod. It is a real steel 1930 Ford body on a fully boxed custom frame. The body has a 5" chopped top and gorgeous copper pearl metallic paint with several coats of flat clear along with black stripping and a tan vinyl top. It was built with heat and ice cold A/C (vintage air system). It has power windows that are key fob operated remote control because the doors have shaved handles on the outside. All window glass on the car is factory bronze tinted which matches the color of the car better. Car also has tilt steering column, a stereo/dvd player with four speakers and all new gauges. Working front and rear turn signals with the front signals built into the headlights. The interior was just finished using tan/beige leather and brown ostrich inserts in dash and seats, along with embroidered hot rod emblems, reclining bucket seats with adjustable lumbar support. One of the coolest features of this build, is the full 5" chop giving it that perfect look, but we dropped the entire floor pan a full 2" to make it more practical for an everyday driver. This was accomplished without a transmission hump so the interior has a full flat floor to give it a lot more room. The rear seats can fit actual size human beings (teens) so it is truly a four passenger vehicle. The front seats have seat belts and the rear seats have 4 point harnesses for the safety of the kids. It also has a full length custom made ceiling console with LED lighting and under dash lighting to match. The entire car was built with safety in mind since I would be taking the kids with me to car shows. It has four-wheel disc brakes. A complete Pete and Jakes four bar front end kit with a steering dampener. The rear was custom fabricated at a racing/chassis shop. It is a triangulated four link set up with heavy duty supports for rock solid stability. It has fully adjustable billet alloy coil over shocks (11 position dampening adjustment so you can select your ride preference) with 300lb springs. They also fabricated a rear sway bar. All this chassis work lets the car handle and keeps it extremely flat and controlled while cornering. The whole point of the build was to be able to actually drive the car to the shows, from the back roads to the interstate. I have been in too many slapped together shoddy fabricated rods that were scary to drive not to mention not being built safe enough to put my kids in the back seat. The engine is a rebuilt 318 Chrysler out of a truck with a mild cam, mated to a 727 tranny with an Edelbrock 4-bbl carb. The engine runs great with no issues. It has plenty of torque and the transmission shifts smooth and crisp using a B&M ratchet shifter. It has a full custom set of twin lake style side pipes. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.93 gears so you can cruise the interstate at speed. There are tons of details on the car like the flush mount Harley Davidson fuel cap that pops out connected to an aluminum fuel cell. I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot more, but I can take detailed pics of what ever you want. Like I said, this has just recently been completed and is ultra clean from top to bottom and brand new underneath. The car is a blast to drive and gets tons of attention where ever it goes. Car has 650 miles on it since completion, have tons of receipts, part numbers and parts info The car is offered for sale at $25,000.00 OBO. I can be reached at 919-451-7680

I don't want to leave this out, and I am trying to add a picture, but before the rear sway bar was added, the body was allowed to come in contact with the rear tire and it rubbed the paint. No damage was done, just missing paint. The tires hide the spots completely, but wanted to say it was there. The rubbing occurred when I first had the over-sized rear tires on it. Once the sway bar was added, it completely eliminated body roll and no further rubbing occurred. I have since put on different tires and have had no problems since. |

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
Ford says utility vehicles are key to global growth
Tue, 26 Nov 2013While most of us believe that small, fuel efficient cars are the key to global expansion for US automakers, Jim Farley, Ford's vice president of Global Marketing, thinks otherwise. Last week, we attended an exclusive sneak preview of the Ford Edge Concept in advance of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and Farley told us that it's actually utility vehicles that will help the Blue Oval gain market share overseas. "There is no other segment in our industry that is growing like utilities," he said. "We expect over the next five years this full family of [utility] vehicles to really drive our growth as a company."
And Farley has the numbers to back it up, too. Ford projects overall automotive sales to grow 23 percent from 2012 to 2017, but the company's utility vehicles are expected to boom by an impressive 41 percent during that same period. Much of that growth will be in China, where Ford estimates its utility sales will explode. "The biggest opportunity for us globally for utilities is in China," Farley said. "China utility growth is expected to more than double from where it is today to 2017, which isn't that far away." Most astounding is that Ford projects its own utility sales in China will eventually increase by more than 2,000 percent when smaller crossovers, such as the EcoSport and Kuga (sold as the Escape in North America), and the Edge and Explorer, are factored in.
Ford's VP also expects utilities to lead the way in the struggling European market. "With all the difficulties of the European market, there is one segment that has actually expanded in volume over the last several years even though the market is way down, and that's utilities," Farley told us. Ford estimates that their utility sales will grow 65 percent in Europe from 2012-2017. "The utility segment is projected to grow we think about thirty percent between now and 2017 in Europe, and we think we are going to grow twice that rate as a brand," Farley continued.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
