Very good body with little rust Some wood usable but most lower frame wood needs to be replaced. Engine runs pretty good and can be driven short distances safely."

This Model A was last driven in 1963 when it was put in storage but was damaged inside from being outside.  I acquired it from an individual that found it in Wisconsin and brought it to Tennessee where it was stored inside for several more years. I cleaned it out inside and rebuilt the carburetor and distributor, flushed the cooling system, replaced the oil and added a new battery.  After a few revolutions from the original starter it fired up and ran like it probably did in 1963.  The clutch chatters a little when starting out but it shifts like a normal Model A and all gears work fine. The brakes work as does the emergency brake. The radiator and shell appear in excellent condition.  There is also a hot water heater with a fan located on the passenger side. The neatest thing is the original Sparton horn works and sounds great. Even the headlights work.  It has 5 matching 19 inch wheels with tires that are older but with new tubes. It appears to have all the inside window and door trim panels and the window curtain brackets. The right rear door has a broken hinge and is nailed shut. This vehicle will make a great restoration project. I think this is a Murray Body Town Sedan but it could be a Deluxe Fordor.  If Someone can confirm which one it is, I would appreciate it. Call with questions, 219-771-1946. The vehicle is located just outside Knoxville, TN. Thanks for looking.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
