I am helping my elderly neighbor sell his 1930 Model A. It took him maybe 25 years to finish this Model A. Kids got in the way etc. He finished it maybe 10 years ago. Seldom driven. He had more fun restoring it than driving it. Some things are original and some things are custom. The frame, engine and drivetrain etc are all OEM Ford. The cab is modified. The box in the back is custom made. Originally he was making a boat tail for it but lost interest and decided to make it like a truck with a wood box. This started as a hardtop. He found a convertible top frame at a swap meet and decided to make it a convertible. The top will go down but he does not put it down because some of the arms hit and would damage the paint. 17" tires. Aftermarket front shocks. Engine professionally rebuild by a company that specializes in rebuilding these engines. New Radiator. Converted to 12 volts and an alternator. He has the original generator and 6 volt stuff. Stainl;ess steel bumpers. Many stainless steel nuts and bolts were used. All turned and hand polished. The fenders are fiberglass. The rest is steel. All the woodwork was done by the owner. As ytou can see the woodwork on the doors is very intricate and took him a long time to fit. The tailgate doers not open although it is made to look like it would. Electric windshield wiper. Always a fan favorite at local car shows. Parade ready. Needs nothing. Drive it anywhere. Show car clean. For info call Dave at 414-762-7426

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
