1928 Ford Model A Roadster. Professional frame-off restoration of a VERY solid original Roadster by Spring Valley Restorations, Spring Valley, Mn., to a very exacting degree. Everything has been rebuilt to the best of my knowledge. Car runs-drives-stops like it came out of the factory originally. Car has had 121 miles put on it since restoration. Estate sale car, selling for my family which has owned the car since 1981. Dad bought the car in Minnesota, decided it was too nice to drive, parked it and bought another Model A to drive. Car has been carefully maintained in a dry garage ever since. Motor run regularly with fresh gasoline changed every year with fuel stabilizer added every winter to keep gas fresh. Motor turned over every two-three weeks when not being run. Backed back and forth in garage but never saw daylight in all these years! Paint finish still immaculate, enamel not lacquered  no checks and cracks over time that lacquer develops. Interior is like new. Tires still have nubs on the tread. Every seam is straight as a pin. I can't find evidence of bondo, using a refrigerator magnet,car is all Henry Ford steel. Top has some slight aging, a professional car detailer can probably clear that up. I didn't want to harm the paint with the wrong type of cleaner so I left it alone. This Roadster was built on Sept. 17, 1928 at the Ford Twin Cities Assy. Plant in St. Paul, Mn. Body stamp of 'TC527' Numbers matching car. Sold new to a Mr. Irhke in Pine Valley, Mn. at the end of Sept. 1928. Clear title. Many Model A's have had the motors swapped out over the years causing title problems. Not this car. All the car needs is to be enjoyed. Space does not permit us to keep the car, estate wills it be sold to highest bidder. People are dragging rotted out junk from abandoned farms and pouring tons of money into a correct restoration. Price a paint job alone today and see what THAT avenue of approach will cost you. It is staggering. Car sells if meets reasonable reserve. Please no e-mails asking what 'reserve' is I won't answer.

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."

Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
