1931 Model A Ford Flathead V8


Car was built in 1959 like it is.  I've tried to keep it as close as possible to that.  I have replaced the following: new Coker bias ply tires, all wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, inner and outer rear axel seals, full dual exhaust, magna flow stainless steel mufflers, 6 volt battery.  
Glass is in great condition, all windows roll up & down, doors close nicely.  New roof.  I've added turn signals and right rear tail light for safety.  Still running stock gas tank which has been boiled out.  All factory gages work.  Oil and temperature gage are from a 1957 Jaguar and both work.  Engine is a 1948 Ford flathead, runs strong - pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle.  Tranny is 1937 Ford 3-speed.  Rear end is stock banjo.  Frame is Stock Model A.  1949 Mercury reversed rims.  1960 Chevy truck master cylinder also has original ansen swing pedals.  All lights and charging system work great.  Stock front seats.  I have front and rear bumpers, spare tire and mount and rear seat upper spring frame - I have lower seat springs, not correct but will go with car anyway.  I also have hood sides.  I've put a super bell 4 inch dropped axle and all tie rod ends, needle bearing, king pins, and pitman arm.  I've also had shocks installed all around.  Steering wheel is 1940 Ford.  Heater fan works.  I've never hooked it up to the engine so I don't know how core is.  I was told it was out of a 1940 Ford.  Brake system is 1948 juice breaks.  There is a little rust on the right rear quarter panel lip and some small pinholes at bottom lip of doors (see pictures).  That is the worst part on the cars body.  The body is tight.  There are no patch panels on this body - what you see is what you get.  Body wood is also in very good condition.   Car is not chopped or channeled.  Front fenders are 50+ year old fiberglass in very good shape.  Rest of car is all original steel.  

Problems:  Steering box needs rebuild.  Car has front wheel wobble at low speed.  The wobble goes away over 30mph.  Transmission pops out of 2nd gear when coming down in high rpm (just started doing this).  There are no other issues with the car.  

I do have some knowledge of cars history as told to me by cars previous owner.  Car is currently registered and inspected.  Car was said to be primer red in the early 60's.  It was grey when built in 1959.  Car was also autographed by Candy Clark from American Graffiti (see pictures).   Car is located in Nazareth, PA if you want to come look.  Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to remove from eBay at any time.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
