You're looking at a No Reserve auction for a 1928 Model A Bantam style traditional hot rod with a custom, cut down Murray Body. It was a 4 door, but now the rear suicide doors are the front/only doors. The cowl, windshield and visor were moved back, and front doors eliminated. The roof was chopped, and body angle channeled for that perfect rake. This is not piece of crap "rat" rod. It is a clean, well thought out, high quality build from the ground up, using actual vintage parts that would've been available back in the '60s. The car is running, driving, is currently licensed, lights all work, turn signals are the type that model A's all used, Ooga horn works, brake lights, etc. The only two modern items on the car are the Lokar shifter and the radiator. The frame is original Model A rails that have been boxed to handle the much more powerful 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8 that came out of a 1965 Buick Electra. It has a TH-400 trans and the Electra rear axle with posi traction was installed. The front axle is stock Model A unit, but 1940 "juice" brakes were added. 1932 ford truck grille shell that has been channeled down with an aluminum radiator.

I have listed the car for my neighbor who built the car from just a frame and a body. This is truely a period-correct hotrod that has real heart and soul, NOT built from a catalog. He is in the final stages of cancer and is not interested in trades unless you've got a nice '58 Chevy Station Wagon. If you have other questions or would like to see the car in person, his sons are: Tracy 64l 42O 6785 or Robert 64l 42O 8674

2013 Ford Mustang V6

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
