Up for sale is a 1931 Ford model A coupe.  The chassis is custom made from 2x3 steel tubing that houses the flathead ford backed with a 5 speed T5 transmission.  The front suspension is a Speedway Motors tubular drop with radius hairpin rods with a cross style leaf spring in the front.  The spindles are early ford with a late model disc brake conversion on them.  Steering is a F100 box and column.  The rear suspension is a Speedway Motors street rod 4 link with a panhard bar.  The rearend is a ford 8" with all stock internals with stock drum brakes on the back.  The rear does have some QA1 coil over shocks and springs.  The wheels are American Racing Salt Flat Specials with 165r15 fronts and some reproduction Hurst Pie crust slicks on the back, and the rears do have a DOT number on them to be legal.  The body has been chopped (roughly) 4 inches and channeled about 3 inches over the frame.  The internal structure of the body is 1x1" steel tube with the roof having a reproduction wood kit to hold the original style vinyl top in.  The front windshield is the only window in the car and it does still tilt outward into the cowl area.  The master cylinder is in the dash for a clean look also.  The gauges are Lincoln, some which work.  The flooring is cast aluminum sections from a firetruck that have been cut to fit, and the seat is some padding over wood and blankets stapled on.  There is also two aircraft style seatbelts.  All the lights work, headlights, running, brake, and turn signals.  The engine is a early flathead with a 12V alternator that looks like a generator.  The starter is also newer 12v.  The engine has a 4-71 blower on it with no rotors inside.  Two strombergs on top top off the engine with a set of lake style headers expelling the spent fumes.  Car runs great, very nice to cruise in and gets looks everywhere it goes.  The engine holds good oil pressure and runs extremely cool.  Car is available to be looked at in person in Greenwood, IN with an appointment as I am always traveling.  Please ask any questions before bidding.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
