Up for bid is a 1930 Deluxe Town Fordor Sedan that has undergone a complete high quality body off nut & bolt restoration to a very high degree. I have owned this car for about seven years and purchased the car a few of years after restoration from the man who did it. I had sold the car to a friend for his museum collection in New Jersey and he only had the car a few years when I purchased it back from him. Except for starting the car and moving it from time to time not to sit in one spot it was hardly used and very few miles have been put on the car. This car never saw the rain and every time I used it I went over the car from top to bottom detailing inside and out. This car was restored from a great example using the original Ford Model A color of Ford Maroon for the body with a black roof and belt line and black fenders with aurora red wheels with vermillion red pin stripe as per judging standards as was the entire car. This body is strait as an arrow with great door fit with no sagging or anything and these doors close like a new car and line up perfect. This is of course an all steel car with every Ford option at the time when new with dual side mount’s, dual side mount mirrors, cowl lights, moto-meter with the wings, Ford Script windup rear view clock mirror, stone guard, deluxe luggage rack with the correct contoured trunk that is made for this body style, Firestone white wall tires, like new with the correct metal tire stems as per judging standards, all the correct shades on the three windows, pull straps and the correct LeBaron Bonney brown town sedan mohair interior with the rear fold down center arm rest including the two side arm rest as well as the correct interior dome light that works of course. I have a traffic finder and compass as well in the car. There are directional signals properly installed for safety and the original pop-out ignition that works great is still in the car and gone threw when the restoration was done. The engine was done to a high level using the correct valves for unleaded fuel and all balanced and is one of the best running engines I have ever had in a Model A car in over 40 years of owning these lovely cars. The transmission shifts smooth and the steering is tight and does not wonder. I have also installed a hood prop inside for ease of having the hood staying in place and an air cleaner is on the correct Zenith carburetor that was just rebuilt. This car has never overheated on me no matter how hot it may get and will always run cool. Everything is in top working order and just recently the horn stopped working but I found out what it was. The horn itself is perfect but the soldered tip on the horn rod down at the box came off so that will be the only thing that needs to be done unless I can do it before its sold, if not I will make an allowance for the purchase of a new horn rod. Overall this car is a show quality automobile and ready to tour at a moments notice without hesitation that rides and drives like a quality Model A should and will score well and is one of the nicest examples of a town sedan you will find both in restoration, color , body fit, etc. You could take this car to an AACA event and with little detailing still come in the running and win a prize. As you can see I took the movie and pictures before the weather turned colder but waited before putting it on Ebay as I thought I was getting a building to put my collection but that feel through so now I must make room or I would never have put this car up for sale. Best of luck to all.

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality. According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork. The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
Ford is recalling 12,300 of its new 2015 F-150 pickup trucks in North America. According to the automaker, an upper l-shaft may have been riveted improperly on these trucks, which can cause it to separate. If that happens, drivers may lose steering control without warning. Yikes. The affected trucks were built at Ford's Kansas City Assembly Plant between March 21 and 25, as well as the Dearborn Truck Plant between March 21 and 30. There are 12,328 total trucks included in this recall – 8,963 in the United States, 3,348 in Canada, and 17 in Mexico. Only 5,606 of the trucks are in customers' hands, the rest have yet to be sold. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem, but knows of one incident where steering control was lost, and believes it to be related to this issue. Scroll down for Ford's official statement.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost. At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295. For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.
