Here you go folks; a 1930 Ford Model A 5 window all steel coupe! This coupe is exactly where everyone wants to start. Its all original with that great "PATINA" (the old skool guys call it "wear and tear")! It isn't perfect by no means, as I've taken pictures of areas that you may want to tackle, or just leave it and drive. I don't want to use the word "Rat Rod" because this coupe is much better than that. It has all 4 original fenders that appear to be rust free. The lower cowl area, small lower section of the trunk lid, leaded seam areas on both side of the roof panel, are showing "character!" The paint has scratches and chips throughout as pictured. Frame, front and rear axle all look good. For the picky eye, looks great at about a mile and a half away! But for someone just looking to get in a 5 window coupe and drive, you'll fall in love with it immediately! Overall, this 83 year old car is solid.
All glass is good, door windows roll up and down, and the windshield kicks in and out and latches as it suppose too. All gauges (speedo, volts, fuel), lights, horn, work as they should. New tail lights installed recently. New chrome dash bezel, wire harness, generator cut out switch, battery cut out switch, 6V battery all installed within the last year.
Engine cranks up and runs real good. It isn't a speed demon, but cruises in 3rd gear about as good as it gets. New water pump installed. All brakes work as they should and stops as easy or as hard as you can apply manual pressure! Has the optional windshield wiper that also works.
The interior is complete and in decent shape. Cabin seat doesn't have any rips. The rumble seat is in good shape, but gray in color. I bought this recently here off ebay.
Has 5 new Goodyear all weather 4.75-19 tires and tubes, purchased within the last year. This coupe looks to have been restored probabaly in the mid 80's.
All in all, you can get in her and drive today, enjoy the waves from folks, and put her back in the garage. Or, you can make one hell of a custom rod out of it, the choice is yours. VA Plates and tool box do not go with the car. Enjoy the auction and good luck!

Thanks for all the questions. I'll try to answer them each evening; Yes, the 30 is road worthy and is driven around on weekends. No, I don't have any extra body panels, but have a couple extra generators (1 generates but bad bearings, 1 bad), 2 extra gen cut outs (1 good, 1 not sure), a new pair of alunimun Ford door sill plates. No, I won't take $5K for this one (he must have thought I missed my nap). Not interested in any trades or payment plans. Sell only in United States. Thanks again for all the interest. Good Luck.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
