1929 Ford Model A Coupe: Traditional Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Fischer, Texas, United States
|
1929 Ford Model A Coupe: Great old school hot rod. 305 sbc with a mild cam, Edlebrock alum intake and 600 cfm carb, 350 AT, Camaro rear end with drum brakes, dropped front axle with disc brakes. Hairpin suspension front and rear; crossover springs and shocks in front with coil-over shocks in the rear. New starter and alternator (within the past year), new window regulators, new top wood and top and new driver's door latch. Parts of the top are framed using 1 x1 tubing. I drive this car a LOT and it's been very dependable. Well-built car with a full TS frame and Vega steering. Car runs great, drives well and is comfortable to drive once you get used to it. Not particularly quick but, it'll run as fast as you have the nerve to stay in it. REALLY likes to run at hi-way speeds. Steering is very responsive and car is very stable in turns. No unusual tire wear. Fuel tank is a 10 gallon poly tank. Car seems to get around 20-22 MPG. Only gauges are a tach, oil pressure and water temperature. Oil pressure is always strong and the car never gets over 175-180 degrees even in the middle of summer. All glass is in the car and good. One quarter glass has two cracks and the windshield has a chip but, I think they add character to the car. The seat is from a Suzuki Samurai and tilts forward providing some storage inside the car. There is a package tray in the rear that could easily be modified to provide more leg room, if desired. I'm just under 6'-0'' tall and fit comfortably. My son, who is 6'-3'', has a little more trouble driving it. Body is all original steel, never cut, pretty straight and better than most. No rust-through. The only issue you'll have to watch for is that the top will leak if left in the rain. Clear Texas title (as a 29 Ford) in my name. All in all, this car has been absolutely dependable. Its a great, fun car to drive. Buyer responsible for transport. Can assist on this end as needed. No warranties whatsoever. In/near Texas delivery available for a fee. $500 deposit by PayPal within 24 hours of closing. Prefer deal be completed within 2 weeks of close but car can be stored here for a period of time awaiting transport. Cash, cashiers check only. Cleared funds in hand before leaving my shop.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
