Sorry to be this way but lately there has been a rash low feedback bidders bidding, winning the auction and then not following through with the sale. We take our auctions seriously and just want you to do the same. This auction is for a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe. All Henry Ford steel. This car had the same owner for the past 48 years. We are proud to offer this wonderful piece of history. The car started life in the state of Wyoming.It was then sold to another gentleman in Wyoming who then sold to the prior owner here in Maine who has owned it up until last week. He had the car painted at that time , installed 1936 wire wheels and tires and has been like this since then. He put the car up in 2010 .Oil was full and antifreeze was still nice and green. A new battery was installed , fresh fuel and it fired right up. Motor runs whisper quiet. Transmission shifts great. Drove it up the road and back and it actually drives quite nice for an 84 year old car. No pulling , chattering or wobbeling. Steering is nice and tight . The body is in amazeing condition. Absolutely rust free and without repairs. The sills are like brand new. The trunk, pans, and wheel tubs are beautiful. Doors open and close perfect and fit like a glove.Windows roll up and down fine. Windshield cranks out. All the fenders are in great shape. I see on the drivers front fender a tiny crack on the bead. The hood does have a few waves on the drivers side section . All the lights and electricals work . Interior is in good usable shape. Headliner is all intact. Paint has dulled down over the years but I think the car looks amazeing just the way it is. You will notice in the pics the horn is missing. It had a Chevrolet horn on it and it was taken off.I will include it . Also had a radio installed but was removed and will be included. I have all 5 original 19 inch wheels that will be included also. There are all kinds of directions you can go with this car .Personally I would leave it the way it is drive and enjoy it.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China
Fri, Jan 2 2015We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.
