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.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million

Mon, Aug 11 2014

In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.
