1931 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup
Very rare model restored original to show standards. Original driveline.
Deluxe model with cowl lites and dual spares. Ford produced convertible
pickups starting with the Model T and later the Model As. The last year
was 1934. Ford produced 17 million Model Ts from 1903 to 1927 and 5
million Model As from the end of 1927 to 1931, but very few roadster
pickups were produced. Ford offered about as many models back then
as they do now. The Model A modernized the automotive world with
reliable transportation for a affordable price. Most Model As had a price
tag of $400-650. This truck would have cost around $500 new. That
would only buy you a set of tires for it today.

1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep
Produced in December 1942; Serial #84189; All original body
restored to show standards. It has the center and right side 1919
Browning A4 machine guns, 1944 Winchester M-1 Carbine gun with
bayonet mounted across dash in the original rifle holder, original tow
bar, desert cooling package, 2 piece combat wheels, original
compass, 90% "F" marked parts and bolts.
Now for the history, Willys received the contract from the U.S.
Government to build the military Jeeps. As soon as production
began, Pearl Harbor was bombed and the war escalated. The
Military needed to increase production, so they went to Ford for help.
The Willys and Ford were produced basically identical so all the parts
would be interchangeable. One primary difference was in the first
year of production (1942), Ford stamped their name on the back of
them like a pickup. In 1943, the Government made them removed
the Ford logo on the Jeep to protect the Willys patent. Aside from the
rear logo, Ford stamped every part of the Jeep down to the bolts with
an "F" to represent a Ford produced part. Another difference setting
Ford apart from Willys is all Ford's serial numbers started with
"GPW" and Willys started with "MB." After 60+ years of service, what
you find is the Willys Jeeps with Ford parts and Ford Jeeps with
Willys parts. Over the years they mixed and matched parts, so the
majority of Jeeps, whether Willys or Ford, are no longer 100%
original.
These early military Jeeps are a very important symbol of American
History and are the forefathers of the Jeep Wranglers which are still
popular today. During tough times, our US automakers, as well as
other manufacturers, banded together to support the war effort
producing Jeeps, airplanes, tanks, trucks, and weapons. This alone
should make ALL AMERICANS continually support the US
automakers. Without them we may not have been successful and our
freedom could have been jeopardized.

<1936 Ford Flathead V-8 85 H.P. - Ford used the flathead engine from 1932 till 1954. It was the first
affordable V-8 offered to the public. In the 30s and 40s the flathead was the choice of early racers, hot
rodders and even bank robbers such as Bonnie and Clyde. Chevrolet did not mass produce a V-8
engine till 1955, but when they did it was a success. This is an original and complete running engine.

HiPo 289 with different heads, rods, solid lifter camshaft, 715 CFM Holley carburetor, and dual point
Autolite distributor. Shelby took these engines and added Shelby specific parts such as Cobra
aluminum intake, valve covers, high capacity oil pan, and Tri Y headers. This engine was highly
successful in Trans-Am, SCCA, and autocross events. All 289 HiPos in regular Mustangs had a "K"

<Ford 428CI Cobra Jet with Shaker setup -This engine was used in Mustangs, Shelby GT 500s
and Torinos. Any car originally equipped with this engine would have a "R" engine code. The Cobra
Jet engine was not available till 1968 1/2 and was used till 1970. In 1968, Shelby called it "KR" for
King of the Road. These engines made tons of torque and were perfect for drag racing. This engine
is complete and correct. During the last few decades of collecting cars we have accumulated various
engines and parts, so we decided to assemble some popular Ford motors for display purposes. We
have plans to add more in the future.
