   This is a replica of a 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton. It was built in 1980 in Florida by the Replicar Company. They took over operation of the Glassic car company which built these cars for years. It is a factory built car, not a kit car.

   Power is supplied by a Ford 302 V-8 engine. It has an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. The four tires on the ground only have a few thousand miles on them. The two side mount spares are used. The car has an AM/FM cassette, a good heater and air conditioning. I also have side curtains for the car. It always starts for me and it runs and drives good. They didn't make very many of these, so you will get a lot of attention when you have it out.

   The paint is in pretty good condition. It has the usual chips on the fenders that you would expect. The paint on the hood has lost it's shine. I was told that it might come back with wet-sanding, but I've never tried it. It also has a few small areas on the hood where it is discolored, as if it had something dripped on it. The interior is nice except that the seams on the driver's seat are starting to come apart.

   Long distance purchases are difficult. Everything looks better in pictures. If you have any questions or would like any specific photos taken of the car, please let me know. Personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response

Fri, Jan 25 2019

Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
