1929 Ford Model A 4 Door “Murray” Town Sedan.  This car is beautiful.  See for yourself.  It is not perfect, however it garners attention everywhere it goes.  This car was completely frame off restored approximately 6 years ago.  Mileage is listed as 1000, however this is simply because eBay would not let me leave it blank or NA.  I have no idea how many miles are on the car, but I would estimate less than 1000.  It was driven for a couple of years then stored.  Since that time, it has been has been brought back to life.  Fuel system completely cleaned and rebuilt.  Engine removed and re-sealed.  Cooling system completely flushed and cleaned.  This car has fantastic detail.  The interior looks like new, complete with rear shades.  Seats show no sign of wear.  Carpet is like new.  All windows and doors work properly.  Bumpers are like new.  The undercarriage is as clean and detailed as the top of the car.  The engine is a touring engine, balanced and powerful (for a stock 1929 Model A engine).  The car drives very nice.  Transmission is tight and brakes are like new.  Exhaust is stock with the Model A muffler, and it sounds like a Model A should.  At idle you can retard the timing and hear each cylinder fire.  I have driven the car less than 200 miles.

The only issue with this car is the paint is showing some age (hurricane or whiskey bumps, depending on where you live).  See the pictures.  It still shines very nice, but there are some issues under the paint.  The black is fine and looks like it is new.  The green is where the issues are.  See the pictures.  This is not noticeable until you are very close to the car.  From just a few feet away it is hardly noticeable.  With proper paint, this would be a $30K+ ’29 Model A.  But then you would be afraid to drive it, thinking that someone would put a ding in it, or a rock chip or bug.  This car demands attention when going down the road and with the touring engine, you can enjoy driving it, and going on tours, it has plenty of power.   There is a $25K “Buy It Now” price on this car.  Reserve is slightly lower.  Inspections are welcomed.  If you are in the Houston area and would like to see the car in person, contact me (through eBay). 

If you bid and win the car, this is a binding contract. Title is clear and immediately available. The vehicle is sold As-Is, Where-Is with no warranty implied and a clear title. I have represented the car to the best of my ability and knowledge.  A $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 2 days of auction end is required for this transaction. The balance is payable in cash or with Certified Bank Funds within 7 days of auction end. Check must clear my bank. Title will be transferred upon receipt of funds. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & cost.  Seller can deliver depending on agreed price between seller and buyer, ask for a quote.  We’ll be happy to store the car for a short period of time. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally and this vehicle will not be sold overseas.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years

Thu, 23 May 2013

Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
