NO RESERVE!! CAR SELLS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!

Up for sale today is my 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that was restored approximately 8 years ago. Car was restored back to original condition along with a few modern upgrades such as sealed beam headlights, upgraded water pump shaft, aluminum windshield frame and an aftermarket hood prop to protect the paint when the hood is opened. It retains the original 6 volt positive ground electrical system. A new battery was just installed and the generator is in proper working order.

All the electrical components in the car work as they should; high and low beam headlights, taillight, brake light, horn and AMP gauge. The fuel gauge and speedometer work as well. I checked the speedometer with my GPS and it's +/- 1 or 2mph at speed. Timing advance lever, throttle lever, throttle pedal and choke are all hooked up and working properly. Parking brake is connected and working properly. The chassis/suspension was greased and the brakes adjusted while the car was on the lift to take the undercarriage photos.

The 4 cylinder flathead engine and 3 speed trans are in flawless working order. It starts right up every time and runs and drives great! It appears that the engine has been completely overhauled given it's external appearance (new gaskets, seals, hardware, etc.) and it's flawless operating condition, however, I can not verify this through any paperwork or receipts as I did not receive any when I purchased the vehicle. I think you will agree though once you have inspected the vehicle for yourself.

Interior is in great shape with no rips, tears or stains in any of the upholstery. Seat is still nice and springy when you sit in it. Original style rubber floor mat is in great shape as well with no holes or tears. The doors work great and shut tight. Windows roll up and down and windshield tilts out smoothly. It's a very solid/tight car when driving down the road, no squeaks, rattles, etc. 

Paint is in good shape overall but is not show car quality paint. It has cracks/chips/scratches as to be expected of any 8 year old restoration that has been driven. It shines great and is perfect for a nice driver that you don't have to panic about when the kids try and climb up on the fenders (hey, everybody likes a shiny red Model A!)

The photos listed are not the only ones I have, just the ones I could fit here! Send me your e-mail address and I'll e-mail you a file with over 100 photos of the car and a video of the engine starting and running.

I have a clear 1930 Ford title in hand ready for transfer. Car is located in Fredericksburg Virginia 22407.

If you want to view the car or have any questions feel free to call me anytime at 540-850-0115

Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.
