1930 FORD MODEL A ROADSTER: All original stock, steel, straight body & frame in very good restorable condition. Clean title for Sale by Owner. NO dents, NO damage. Small exterior spot of rust (See Photo) on bottom of outer passenger-side door, otherwise, no other rust that I can see. This roadster has the original stock motor and 3 speed manual transmission. The tires & spoked rims are in good condition though it does not have the 5th (spare) 15" wheel. It has all new wiring, headlights, amp & fuel gauges, new working alternator, which has been swapped to 12V, and battery. Wishbones & rear frame are all good and there are NO weldings. It has recently been completely lubed and is in good working & running condition. Paint & interior are original. Interior is pretty much shot, although the floor board has been replaced, and only really needs paint & interior. Assembly for convertable top may not be correct for this car. It is currently not connected to the front window frame, which is normally put down to better accomodate the car cover, and is how it came when we bought it from the previous owner.
SOME HISTORY ON THE CAR: My dad bought it from a private party in El Monte, CA in 1998 and was intended as a project car for restoration. Because he's had others to work on, it had been in storage at his shop in El Monte until about 2 years ago when it was taken along with some other cars to Mississippi, where my parents are moving to, and was stored in their warehouse. Since they could really use the money for their move & health conditions forces sale ASAP, he brought it back to CA. sometime last year when he decided to put it up for sale and it's been covered up in our driveway, while some work (which is noted in the listing) was done on it to get it up and running to sell.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: We will accept International Buyers and have shipped other cars Worldwide. Buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements and payment. Will deliver up to 200-250 miles. from the Los Angeles/Glendale CA area for Local Buyers and will transport to the nearest shipping facility, which I believe is in Wilmington, CA, for International Buyers.

This great project Roadster just needs some cleaning up, paint & interior and is really in very good working & running condition.
NOTE: I do have some more photos available but, because I'm already at my limit of 24 in the listing, I can't add any more. If you would like to send me your email address I'd be happy to email them to you. Please let me know. Thanks very much for your interest. ; D

Ford exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower
Mon, Jan 26 2015Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
