Find the 1929 Ford For sale on Ebay

Seller states:

For Auction is a Real Deal Survivor 1929 Ford Roadster Pick Up from the 50’s. Current Title and Registration in California (good through March 2012). The Model A started it’s Hot Rod life in the early 50’s in Hayward, California. Never finished until discovered in 1999.

In the early 50’s the frame was heavily modified to get the 1929 Roadster PU cab low, reinforced cab with 2 inch pipe, fully chromed front a rear suspension from ’39-’40 Ford (nice patina now), juice brakes all around, drilled backing plates, 1950 331 Cadillac V8 overhead valve motor, Edelbrock 3×2 Intake w/Stromberg Carbs., 1937 LaSalle 3 speed transmission, chrome steering box and column, Edelbrock finned aluminum valve covers, custom lake headers, cut down original ’32 grill shell, 1932 passenger car dash and reversed 16 inch rims on back for clearance.

In 1999 I had the motor rebuilt (same Cadillac motor), added Headlights and a shortened Model T bed, found a 6×2 Edelbrock Intake w/6 Strombeg Carbs. (only running two center carbs.), 11 Gallon Aluminum Gas Tank, Stewart Warner Gauges, 2 inch chopped down windshield and stanchions, Schroeder Race Wheel, big and little whitewall tires from Coker, removable roll bar, wiring and she was on the road. Cab was never removed from the chassis during rebuild.

Since then, this car has been to several car events; Billetproof, West Coast Customs, Primer Nationals, Viva Las Vegas, Asphalt Invitational, Pasadena Reliability Run, etc. It gets loads of attention everywhere it goes, and has been in several magazines, from Street Rodder, Hop Up, American Rodder, Rolls & Pleats, Car Kulture DeLuxe, Smokin’ Shutdown, Speed & Chrome, etc. (see pics). The car gets attention because it is representative of a true 1950’s Hot Rod. Heck it IS a 1950’s Hot Rod.

Older pics show the car at Paso Robles in the early 2000’s, Bonneville and West Capitol Circle Track Reunion in the mid-to-Late 2000’s. Haven’t had it out much lately, so it’s time for somebody else to enjoy. It’s a blast to drive and will get plenty of attention when you show it! Run’s and Drives now, but will need some fine tuning by the new Owner. Send me an ebay message with your e-mail address and I can send more pics.

What You Get Now: all of the items described above except the chopped windshield and stanchions (comes with stock ones). A 1932 Truck Dash instead of the 1932 passenger dash (I’m in the process of setting up the gauge panel). E&J headlights are gone, so you get the BLC headlights on the car now. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of California Hot Rod History. Low Reserve for this “one-of-a-kind” Hot Rod. You will not be disappointed to own this unique car.

Call Alan at 916-204-3170 for more details.

Buyer pays for all transportation costs, and I will help accommodate any overseas shipments. Car is in Sacramento, California, so it is within 2 hours of the nearest port to ship (Oakland/Alameda).

$2,000.00 Deposit due within 3 days of Auction Ending, and the balance due at pick up. Only bidders with 100% positive feedback will be recognized as a valid bidder. I reserve the right to end this auction early, as the car is advertised locally for sale.

1956 Mercury Custom by Bo Huff for sale on Ebay

Seller states:

1956 Merc Custom Hot Rod
by Legendary Bo Huff

The car that you see before you is a 1956 Mercury that was customized by Bo Huff several years ago and kept in his personal museum. This car has only been in local shows but has been featured in such magazines as Car Kulture Deluxe and other serious custom car magazines. The winner of this 1956 Merc will have the opportunity to not only own this great piece of art work but also will have the opportunity to have Bo Huff attend any national custom & rod show that the buyer wishes to enter this car.

Most customizers know that there are certain years that Ford Motor Car Company got the design of the Mercury’s just right. The years that come to most people’s minds when they think about the great Mercs are 1940, 1949-51 and of course the 1956. To improve on great designs it takes a great artisian like Bo Huff. Bo Huff decided that this particular design execution was perfect for the 1956 and has created a truly great work of art and probably the finest 1956 Merc custom in existence.

Just check this mild custom out from its real Appleton spotlights to its correctly sized Lakers. The car has been nosed and decked with a roll and tuck interior with pin striping throughout on the outside & inside by JR. The car has been lowered and is running a Ford 351 Cleveland motor with a C-4 automatic transmission. Check out the cob webbing under the window door trim. Seller estimates there are about 2,500 miles on the car since restoration.

This car is a great driver and again, it is ready to be shown at any national show with the presence of Bo Huff, if you should so request. And again don’t forget that this car has been featured in Car Kulture DeLuxe and Old School Rod. You will be the owner of one of the great Bo Huff’s original customs.
