Has all of the expected character that goes with an 84 yr old automobile. As seen in photos there are scratches and some water staining, minor chips and imperfections. The exterior of the engine block was welded on the left side 30+ years ago, there is a photo of the repair, it hasn't leaked since the fix. The rumble seat will need work but is all there. There are some spare parts as well. The tires are not show quality but are in good shape, hold air fine and are roadworthy. Its not perfect but at 84 yrs old its darn good."

 Wally, a long time family friend, has decided that it is time for his beloved Model A to have a new home!  This is your opportunity to own an absolute American legend.  An older but still good restoration, this car is ready for a parade, a park or a Sunday drive now and offers an absolutely perfect platform for an easy top of the show restoration when you are ready.  Wally bought the coupe in '68 from the original owner shown on the bill of sale photo.  It was that gentleman's daily driver for nearly 40 years right up to the day he sold it.  It was restored during the 70s and has been repainted in the last ten years.  This Coupe has been used in many parades by a MN state representative.  The car starts immediately, runs, drives and stops just fine.  The rubber is older but in good shape, there are no major engine or driveline leaks and it does not overheat.  Unlike many of the Model A's that are for sale this car is KNOWN TO BE ROADWORTHY and recently completed a 60 mile day trip to church and the cabin without a problem.  This is truly a car to be enjoyed and driven as it is right now.  If you have been looking for a Model A to own and drive proudly or an exceptional platform for a perfect restoration here is your chance.  The car is located approx 150 miles north of Minneapolis in the Brainerd Lakes area.  Good luck bidding everyone, there is a reserve but it is very very reasonable.  I have no doubt this car is going to sell! I will be happy to answer any questions from serious buyers but give me a little time, it is not my car so I have to ask and relay the info.  I also have a short raw video clip of the car running and driving that I would be happy to email you.  Thanks for looking everyone and Happy Bidding!!!!

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe

Tue, Mar 8 2016

This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:

Saleen previews new 302 Mustang

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

The introduction of a new generation of a model like the Ford Mustang may be exciting enough in its own right for enthusiasts, but that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, because you know that Ford itself as well as numerous aftermarket tuners will soon follow up with even more desirable versions. And few Mustang tuners carry quite the same clout of Saleen.
Recently reunited after its previous split, Saleen is back on the map and hard at work on new aftermarket modifications for a wide array of muscle cars. We knew it would only be a matter of time before it would release a new 302 Mustang, and now it's sent out the first image to show us what to expect.
Details are scarce, but House that Steve Built says the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang "is perfectly positioned as the next American exotic." And it should know, considering that it's the same outfit that produced the Saleen S7 that really was a true American exotic. From the teaser image above we can see that Saleen has given its Mustang a new front air dam, a very wide air scoop on the hood and of course Saleen's trademark slat grille.
