Up for auction is this sharp little '31 Ford Model A Pick Up. Nice steel body with glass fenders. This auction includes all 4 steel fenders in very nice shape. I like the glass in the way they won't rust or dent, however, if you prefer the steel, just have the steel ones that are included painted. These fenders are easy to put on. The engine runs good with a surprisingly amount of pep. It has been pretty snappy driving around town. It drives at 45-50 mph on the open road. Once in awhile it seems to shift hard between first & second, and shifts good from 2nd to 3rd. The brakes work good, including the e-brake. The engine has been rebuilt in the past & starts good. No smoking at any time. The truck has 4 new tires on it with about 200 miles on them. The rims are nice. It has a nice and clean engine compartment. It has a newer interior with a nice seat. The glass is all good and the windows all work. It has newer running boards, however, could be repainted. The body is in decent shape with a few paint chips here & there, however, nothing major. Sometimes the truck will wobble at low speeds, so I've included new kingpins and a new pitman arm. They also make a steering stabilizer for Model A's. The steering hasn't stopped me from driving this truck all over. It only wobbles ocassionally at low speeds - never at higher speed & I wanted to bring it to your attention.The truck comes with many extra parts(see pics) relating to model A's. Please email to inquire if more detail of the parts is needed. The box of the truck is very nice with some paint flaking on the edges of the bed.(see pics). The headlights work, gauges work along with taillight. There is a horn, however, it needs to be wired. The underside of the truck is painted and loooks nice. It has nice oak sideracks. It has a nice new stoneguard on the front. I wouldn't classify this truck as a show winner, however, a very nice 'daily driver'. It is very sharp pick up that is snappy, fun to drive AND it turns alot of heads! Please email early to exchange phone numbers to further discuss this nice pick up. Do not wait until the auction is over to ask your questions or discuss this truck. I will get back to you. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction to PayPal. The balance in full is due with 7 days of the end of the auction either cash in person or wired to our bank account. The balance WILL NOT be accepted into PayPal.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs
Wed, Nov 29 2017BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining
Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]
Sun, 15 Jun 2014It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers
Mon, Aug 4 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.
