1930 Ford Tudor Sedan restored from an exceptionally solid, straight, rust-free original. A very lovely Model A that always receives glowing compliments, particularly regarding the razor straight body, show-worthy paint and '31 style deluxe mohair interior. The car has been driven very sparingly since the restoration, always kept covered indoors and never exposed to inclement weather and truly shows no noticeable aging or wear. The chassis and drive-train have also been completely rebuilt. The brakes feature accessory floaters which significantly improves their efficiency. Vacuum wiper motor restored and works perfectly. The instrument panel features a NOS speedometer. It still shows all zeros as I haven't been able to bring myself to hook it up (there is a speedometer cable included). Would estimate the car has been driven less than 1000 miles since restoration. Non-original features include the '31 style deluxe mohair interior and a '32 style stainless-strip hood hinge on a Rootlieb reproduction hood. Had a very nice original hood but even nice ones are difficult to restore to Rootlieb reproduction quality. Those guys make outstanding products. The later hinge eliminates the annoying paint chipping normally seen with an original hinge and ties in nicely with the stainless cowl band and stainless radiator shell. I'm sure Henry would approve (why didn't he think of it sooner?) and it wouldn't be difficult to revert to original should new owner prefer. The radiator shell shows a small wrinkle on the upper left edge. I have a very nice, straight replacement to install before it goes to a new home. Also, not shown in the pictures are a very nice original horn (not installed) and a locking Moto-Meter (with wings) radiator cap (not installed) that will go with the car. The car cold-starts instantly with a 6-volt sealed Optima battery. If you have a 6-volt vehicle without one of these you're missing out! My only complaint about the car is that it (like every other Model-A??) leaks a bit of oil, making a garage-floor drip pan an essential accessory. It does have a "leakless water pump" which is a great feature, as Model A owners can attest, for keeping the engine bay nice and clean. The auction involves a very reasonable reserve; significantly less than completing a comparable restoration. As a used car, it is offered for sale as-is where-is with no warranties stated or implied. The buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements for shipping or pick-up of the vehicle. A $500 pay-pal deposit will be due from the winning bidder within 72 hours of auction conclusion and the remaining balance by direct wire transfer to my bank within 7 days. Other certified-funds may be acceptable (contact seller through eBay). The car and/or title will not be released until all funds have completely cleared all banks involved.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
