1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe
Beautiful example of an original Henry Ford steel car. Straight, solid, rust free body and fenders, no patch panels, runs and drives, car was stored in Sandwich NH for years (been in Sandwich since when it was bought new) recently has transferred through a couple of owners. I don't believe the car has ever been taken apart, appears to have had one repaint many years ago. Fenders are in excellent shape, no cracked beads or any repaired beads. Body is near perfect, I could not find any signs of rust or patch panels. This is a barn fresh car that has been cleaned up, car has great patina, very presentable (up close paint has minor scratches/ chips here and there). Great car to drive and enjoy this summer. Distributer just rebuilt with modern upper and lower plate. 

I believe the rumble seat upholstery is original, shows wear and has some minor tears and has cotton strings attached because previously had a seat cover(with a little bit of elbow grease seat should clean up).  The rumble seat cover matched the front seat, previous owner carefully removed cover.  I have the cover and it could be very easily installed again (seat covers are old but in great shape).  Front seat still has seat cover installed (refer to pics), feels like original upholstery is underneath, condition of upholstery under cover is unknown.  Top is in fair condition for its age, refer to pictures.  Windows roll up and down nice, all glass in good condition.

Car can be seen in Rochester NH. Would love to keep this car, but don't have the space.  Its getting harder and harder to find straight solid vehicles of this vintage.

NOTE: NH does not require titles for this year vehicle.  This is being sold with a bill of sale only (I can get it notarized if you would like).

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
