Friendswood, Texas, United States

1929 Ford Model A 4 Door “Murray” Town Sedan.  This car is beautiful.  See for yourself.  It is not perfect, however it garners attention everywhere it goes.  This car was completely frame off restored approximately 6 years ago.  Mileage is listed as 1000, however this is simply because eBay would not let me leave it blank or NA.  I have no idea how many miles are on the car, but I would estimate less than 1000.  It was driven for a couple of years then stored.  Since that time, it has been has been brought back to life.  Fuel system completely cleaned and rebuilt.  Engine removed and re-sealed.  Cooling system completely flushed and cleaned.  This car has fantastic detail.  The interior looks like new, complete with rear shades.  Seats show no sign of wear.  Carpet is like new.  All windows and doors work properly.  Bumpers are like new.  The undercarriage is as clean and detailed as the top of the car.  The engine is a touring engine, balanced and powerful (for a stock 1929 Model A engine).  The car drives very nice.  Transmission is tight and brakes are like new.  Exhaust is stock with the Model A muffler, and it sounds like a Model A should.  At idle you can retard the timing and hear each cylinder fire.  I have driven the car less than 200 miles.

The only issue with this car is the paint is showing some age (hurricane or whiskey bumps, depending on where you live).  See the pictures.  It still shines very nice, but there are some issues under the paint.  The black is fine and looks like it is new.  The green is where the issues are.  See the pictures.  This is not noticeable until you are very close to the car.  From just a few feet away it is hardly noticeable.  With proper paint, this would be a $30K+ ’29 Model A.  But then you would be afraid to drive it, thinking that someone would put a ding in it, or a rock chip or bug.  This car demands attention when going down the road and with the touring engine, you can enjoy driving it, and going on tours, it has plenty of power.   There is a $25K “Buy It Now” price on this car.  Reserve is slightly lower.  Inspections are welcomed.  If you are in the Houston area and would like to see the car in person, contact me (through eBay). 

If you bid and win the car, this is a binding contract. Title is clear and immediately available. The vehicle is sold As-Is, Where-Is with no warranty implied and a clear title. I have represented the car to the best of my ability and knowledge.  A $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 2 days of auction end is required for this transaction. The balance is payable in cash or with Certified Bank Funds within 7 days of auction end. Check must clear my bank. Title will be transferred upon receipt of funds. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & cost.  Seller can deliver depending on agreed price between seller and buyer, ask for a quote.  We’ll be happy to store the car for a short period of time. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally and this vehicle will not be sold overseas.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.

Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.
