1930 Model A Sedan: This Hot rod has the 1945/1948 Ford Flathead, 239 cubic inch 59 AB 90-100 HP: 1937 Ford 3spd transmission: 1933 front end: 1931 rear end: 1939/1940 model brakes with frame mount master and pedals. Up-dated Alluminum radiator, new wiring, New brakes/master/wheel cylinders. Radiator Shell is new old stock from the 1960's. New Coker Classics: 560-15 on the front, L78-15 on the rear. This is not a new build but a restoration from a surviving vintage hot rod from the early 1950's. Many of the parts have been repurposed adding the 60 amp alternator that is not original to the Flatheads. The Lakes style headers are authentic to the period this car was built matching the design from the early A-V8 cars that were built. The Model a has a 4" chop with the body mounted back on the frame like it was originally built leaving the splash aprons attached. Painted in Satin red and gloss black PPG paint.
HISTORY: What is very cool about this Model A Sedan is that it was originally built between 1949 and 1952: After returning from the WWII many Vets wanted to go fast: finding the Model A servived the scrap drives, the 4 cylinder was modified many times to go as fast as possible on the back roads of Oregon and then North West Montana. With dreams of dry lake beds the Sedan began its transformation from family car to Hot rod in 1949 when the first of many Flathead V8's was installed. In 1950 a 1937 Flathead was installed and transmission:"the same tranmision still opperates today" also the 1933 front axle was installed. After a couple of years the Sedan was changed yet again to go even faster: a 1940 Flathead was installed along with juice brakes all the way around and by the end of 1952 the hood and fenders were removed along with front and rear bumpers and guards leaving the splash aprons. The result being the Model a A-V8 as they were called back then. The car opperated for many years between Oregon and Monatana where it was a daily driver. The Model A was never really all that fast, but it was loud and felt fast and that is all the mattered at the time. In 1987 the Sedan was once again torn down for a rebuild and restoration adding many new parts, the 4" chop and the 1945-1948 Flathead 239 59 AB along with many other plans were stalled for many years as the A V8 was passed from one family member to another finally being completed the last couple of years. I tried to get some old photos to pass on but due to illness and hospital visits I was unable to aquire any other than visits on the phone and stories passed on from the original owners family. I hope to who ever has the winning bid they keep the story about this car alive and pass it on. If you want to own a piece of Hot rodding history this is your car, a car we only read about but never find. An original Model A Ford A-V8 is a great thing to own! If you are looking for air ride suspension and air conditioning this is not your car! This Model A is priced to sell with a low reserve; anyone looking for a great vintage Hot rod can win this bid! Good luck and feel free to ask questions I will be happy answere them and if I can't I will do my best to find the answere for you!!

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
