1931 Model A Ford Flathead V8


Car was built in 1959 like it is.  I've tried to keep it as close as possible to that.  I have replaced the following: new Coker bias ply tires, all wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, inner and outer rear axel seals, full dual exhaust, magna flow stainless steel mufflers, 6 volt battery.  
Glass is in great condition, all windows roll up & down, doors close nicely.  New roof.  I've added turn signals and right rear tail light for safety.  Still running stock gas tank which has been boiled out.  All factory gages work.  Oil and temperature gage are from a 1957 Jaguar and both work.  Engine is a 1948 Ford flathead, runs strong - pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle.  Tranny is 1937 Ford 3-speed.  Rear end is stock banjo.  Frame is Stock Model A.  1949 Mercury reversed rims.  1960 Chevy truck master cylinder also has original ansen swing pedals.  All lights and charging system work great.  Stock front seats.  I have front and rear bumpers, spare tire and mount and rear seat upper spring frame - I have lower seat springs, not correct but will go with car anyway.  I also have hood sides.  I've put a super bell 4 inch dropped axle and all tie rod ends, needle bearing, king pins, and pitman arm.  I've also had shocks installed all around.  Steering wheel is 1940 Ford.  Heater fan works.  I've never hooked it up to the engine so I don't know how core is.  I was told it was out of a 1940 Ford.  Brake system is 1948 juice breaks.  There is a little rust on the right rear quarter panel lip and some small pinholes at bottom lip of doors (see pictures).  That is the worst part on the cars body.  The body is tight.  There are no patch panels on this body - what you see is what you get.  Body wood is also in very good condition.   Car is not chopped or channeled.  Front fenders are 50+ year old fiberglass in very good shape.  Rest of car is all original steel.  

Problems:  Steering box needs rebuild.  Car has front wheel wobble at low speed.  The wobble goes away over 30mph.  Transmission pops out of 2nd gear when coming down in high rpm (just started doing this).  There are no other issues with the car.  

I do have some knowledge of cars history as told to me by cars previous owner.  Car is currently registered and inspected.  Car was said to be primer red in the early 60's.  It was grey when built in 1959.  Car was also autographed by Candy Clark from American Graffiti (see pictures).   Car is located in Nazareth, PA if you want to come look.  Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to remove from eBay at any time.

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
