THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL 1929 MODEL-A REPLICA BUILT BY A COMPANY CALLED SHAY FOR FORD. IT HAS 1345 ORIGINAL MILES, 2.4 LTR MOTOR WITH A 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS IN STORAGE FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS. I HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND ALL OF THE COOLANT HOSES REPLACED, TUNED THE CAR UP AND REPLACED THE TIMING BELT. BOTH FRONT CALIPERS ARE NEW ALONG WITH THE FRONT PADS. THE CAR RUNS GREAT. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT THE CARPET COULD BE REPLACED. THE REAR RUMBLE SEAT IS IN GREAT SHAPE AS WELL. THE BODY IS IN NICE SHAPE I DONT SEE ANY CRACKS, JUST SOME SCRATCHES AND NICKS WHICH I THINK A GOOD BUFF JOB WOULD TAKE CARE OF. THE BUMPERS AND WHEEL SPOKES HAVE SOME RUSTY SPOTS AND PITTING BUT SHOULD CLEAN UP REALLY NICE WITH SOME STEEL WOOL. THE TOP IS IN NICE SHAPE WITH NO TEARS OR RIPS AND THE BACK WINDOW IS IN NICE SHAPE AS WELL. IT COMES WITH THE SIDE CURTAIN WINDOWS WHICH LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN USED AND IT ALSO HAS THE STRAP-ON TRUNK. AFTER ALL THAT BEING SAID THE CAR REALLY IS IN NICE SHAPE CONCIDERING THE AGE AND CAN BE A GREAT CAR WITH VERY LITTLE TLC...THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THOSE CRUISE NIGHTS...CAR SHOWS..AND PARADES

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
