Rochester, New Hampshire, United States

1930 Ford "A" Coupe Old School 50's era Hot Rod, built in the "home of hot-roding"

Original 3 owner So. California car- before complete frame up restoration- all steel no patch panels, matching numbers.  Well documented restoration, this car was restored in the late 1990's and over $40k was invested.  This automobile has been very well cared for since the frame up restoration, has less then 1500 on the restoration.  This car took 2 years to build by Tom Lewis and his son up in Whittier CA.  No expense spared on this restoration.

Sheet metal is beautiful, no patch panels, paint is gorgeous, pictures don't do this car justice.  Over $17k was spent on the paint. 

Frame and engine numbers match.  Motor has been highly modified and was built by Vermeil's Engines of Santa Rosa CA.  Fully pressurized oil system, big oil pump, Winfield head, Riley dual port intake with Stromberg 81's, Mallory dual point ignition, 12 volt alternator, insert bearings, aluminum pistons/ rods.  Custom exhaust header that was powder coated.  40 Ford transmission with HD racing clutch, 48 Ford hydraulic brake system, 40 Ford steering box with vintage Bell steering wheel, 2 1/2" dropped front axle with tube shocks and new springs, 16" powder coated Kelsey wheels, 32 Ford gas tank, 32 Ford dash with antique Stewart-Warner gauges, Halogen headlights and taillight bulbs.

Frame, windshield, and oil pan powder coated.  Lebaron-Bonny Interior professionally installed .

Photo album documents entire restoration.  An additional binder also includes an expense log, typed notes, phone numbers and names of all different people/ business that worked on the car or where the parts were purchased.  Binder also includes many installation instruction (i.e. Mallory ignition installation instructions, fuel pressure regulator instructions, gauge instructions, paint codes, etc).  Also includes story of the builder and all the people who have owned the car since it was restored. 

This car can be seen in Rochester NH.  This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right the end this auction at anytime.  I really don't care if I sell this car or not, will consider trade for an early flathead V8 Ford, nice restored Model A, or original Model A and cash.  It is very difficult to find such well documented automobiles that have received such a detailed restoration.  Don't miss out on your chance to own this beautiful piece of history.

Big electric trucks won't save the planet, says the NYT

Tue, Feb 21 2023

When The New York Times decides that an issue is an issue, be prepared to read about it at length. Rarely will a week passes these days when the esteemed news organization doesn’t examine the realities, myths and alleged benefits and drawbacks of electric vehicles, and even The Atlantic joins in sometimes. That revolution, marked by changes in manufacturing, consumer habits and social “consciousness,” may in fact be upon us. Or it may not. Nonetheless, the newspaper appears committed to presenting to the public these pros and cons. In this recently published article titled, “Just How Good for the Planet Is That Big Electric Pickup Truck?”—wow, thatÂ’s a mouthful — the Times focuses on the “bigness” of the current and pending crop of EVs, and how that impacts or will impact the environment and road safety. This is not what news organizations these days are fond of calling “breaking news.” In October, we pointed to an essay in The Atlantic that covered pretty much the same ground, and focused on the Hummer as one particular villain, In the paper and online on Feb. 18, the Times' Elana Shao observes how “swapping a gas pickup truck for a similar electric one can produce significant emissions savings.” She goes on: “Take the Ford F-150 pickup truck compared with the electric F-150 Lightning. The electric versions are responsible for up to 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions per mile.” But she right away flips the argument, noting the heavier electric pickup trucks “often require bigger batteries and more electricity to charge, so they end up being responsible for more emissions than other smaller EVs. Taking into consideration the life cycle emissions per mile, they end up just as polluting as some smaller gas-burning cars.” Certainly, itÂ’s been drummed into our heads that electric cars donÂ’t run on air and water but on electricity that costs money, and that the public will be dealing with “the shift toward electric SUVs, pickup trucks and crossover vehicles, with some analysts estimating that SUVs, pickup trucks and vans could make up 78 percent of vehicle sales by 2025." No-brainer alert: Big vehicles cost more to charge. And then thereÂ’s the safety question, which was cogently addressed in the Atlantic story. Here Shao reiterates data documenting the increased risks of injuries and deaths caused by larger, heavier vehicles.

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing

Wed, 29 May 2013

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model.

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
