Up for bid is a beautiful 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Coupe that has a stunning body off nut & bolt restoration to a high level. This was always a deluxe coupe and it was restored as it was when new. It has the rumble seat, stone guard, motor meter, LeBaron Bonney cloth tire cover and running board step plates. The body is perfect in everyway showing no signs of repairs and is strait as an arrow. The fit all around is excellent the way you want to see it. The paint finish is stunning with no signs of defects in the original colors of Kewanne & Elkpointe Green for the body with the apple wheels & pin stripe with black fenders & splash aprons as per factory standards. The interior is done in the deluxe brown mohair by LeBaron Bonney including the carpet and headliner. All the window mouldings and dash are the proper wood grain and being a deluxe this car has the interior light and adjustable seat, (see pictures). The top is also LeBaron Bonney as is the brown grain rumble seat and side panels. All the mechanicals were done for todays driving with the stainless valves, balancing, etc. and runs just beautiful. This car has the Tillotson carburetor rather than the Zenith and these were over the counter carburetors in the day when the Model A was new and fit up the same as the Zenith and many people today prefer these because they perform better. You also have the correct splash pans on the motor that sometimes are missing on many Model A’s I see for sale. The tires are the correct white walls and are as new. The underside of this car is just beautiful and if you see the pictures you can get a good idea what to expect and better. There are no pitting in the rear or chassis as you will see with many Model A’s due to a couple of reasons, one being cost of restoration to take these out, the other is that many of these cars were used up and rough and becomes to costly. This car was always a good solid car and the results speak for themselves when you see it. Everything works in the car with the exception the gas gauge float but I am fixing that as we speak and will be done before the new owner takes the car. The car drives better than most and is a pleasure and has a wonderful transmission as well. This car has very few miles since restoration. Well to sum it up this is a great example that you won’t have to spend a dime on and enjoy for years to come and is priced very reasonable as I need the room so someone is going to get a great car for the money. Best of luck to all.

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred. These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
Devils, Details and Weight Reduction There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them. I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Typically 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.
