Rare 1931 Ford Model A400. This is an older restoration, but this car is in pristine condition. The motor has been completely rebuilt, as well as a rebuilt carburetor, starter, distributor and water pump, a brand new 6v alternator, as well as a new OEM wiring harness from front to back. The speedometer and all gauges work. New halogen headlights were installed, and the horn was also rebuilt and sounds great. The car runs cool and the body condition and paint are excellent, the body has no fillers or body work. The chrome is bright and the paint reflects everything in the background. The radiator is perfect and a stainless steel stone guard was installed. The interior is an older restoration but still looks very nice, and the car has brand new LeBarron Bonney wool carpet as original, as well as new aluminum door sills. Also a brand new LeBarron Bonney convertible top was installed. The tires on the car are new tires but they are weather checked and dry. There are five brand new tires that go with the car. The windshield wiper works and the running boards have brand new matting. The car comes with a new motometer on the radiator. The brakes are new and the car stops very well. The emergency brake works great as well. This car can be driven anywhere. The Ford Model A400 is the rarest body style of the Model A's, just over 5,000 were built, and few are still in existence. There is an A400 club online that can provide more information to this unique body style. This car was once in the Harrah Automobile Collection, and I have all the documentation from Harrah. The car has a title. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Inspections before purchasing the car are encouraged. The convertible top has a cover to go on when the top is down The car comes with a trunk on the back with a new spare tire .

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.
Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
