This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready. 1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A. This is a rare automobile. Here's why . . . Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s,
but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July
1929. It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one
in such good condition as this. Don’t let this one slip away. She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and
3-speed transmission. It goes down the road straight, shifts
smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford
designed. Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other
companies used. His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you
lose all your brakes. When have you ever seen all four brake rods
fail at the same time on one of my cars?” Smart move. Back
then hydraulics were pretty bad. This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be. Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes. You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe. The interior is in very good condition having
had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no
musty odors or smoke smells. It’s very clean and very well cared
for. The windows roll up and down with
ease. The windshield tilts out. The doors open and close
easily. The top is exceptionally tight with no tears. She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family! Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car. Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show. If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford
Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty –
especially at this price. The reserve is set low for the value of
this 85-year old automobile. A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently
in Hemmings for $35,000. My reserve is set at less than half that. SOME DETAILS:

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
