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

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
