1931 Ford Model Aa Truck on 2040-cars
West Bloomfield, Michigan, United States
|
I bought this truck about 7 years ago. Although I had a strong start on its restoration, I have no time to work on it now and just haven't been able to make any progress lately. When I parked it last November it was running fine, but I'm having trouble getting it started now - I'm pretty sure it's a spark problem. The engine does turn over and runs strong otherwise.
The truck has been converted from a 6 volt positive ground to a 12 volt negative ground for better reliability and easier bulb / electronics replacements. It has also been converted from a point and rotor system to an electronic ignition. If the ignition is the reason why it isn't firing up right now, there is a spare included that could be used. I've replaced or repaired anything that seemed to need it. I've kept all of the original parts and they're included in the auction. The truck runs cool without overheating thanks to a new water pump. The carburetor has been rebuilt, the gas tank cleaned and relined (no leaks). The old roof was mostly missing or rotted. I ordered the new solid oak frame and ribs, and new roof metal (pictured). Also included is a new roof with padding and headliner from Macs. It is black vinyl with the long-grain leather look of the original 1931. The paint is decent, it has a couple flakes and flaws. The colors are Kewanee Green and Bronson Yellow, two colors off the Ford paint chart for 1931. All of the interior insulation (similar to Dynamat) and interior skin is also included - a brown vinyl kit from Cartouche, a Mac's supplier. There are boxes and boxes of parts, probably enough to finish the truck completely unless I overlooked something. They are all from Mac's Auto and clearly labeled. All the glass is good, nothing missing, and no chips or cracks. For the side windows there are new tracks, handles, and actuators. The headlights work, and orange turn-signal bulbs are hidden inside the main lenses. The truck has been wired for brake lights and rear turn signals but they haven't been hooked up yet. The bed is solid oak, milled from a tree that fell in my neighbors yard. The rails are sitting in place and need to be bolted down with T-fasteners. I've kept a book tracking the parts I bought and have kept all instructions. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping. I won't ship, but I will work with your shipper at my end to make sure the truck gets loaded up and headed your way. The truck has a clear Michigan title. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due within 3 days of the auction's end or I will retain the option to re-list the truck or offer it to the next highest bidder. Any bidders without previous feedback please contact me prior to bidding - thanks Please feel free to contact me with any questions |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford Focus PHEV on the way?
Tue, Jan 21 2014A refreshed Ford Focus is in the works and that means a few details are leaking out. Spy shots from last month indicated the Focus will have a gaping grille just like its "One Ford" global C-segment comrade, the Fiesta. While Ford is being quiet about it, the Focus could also be getting an "Energi" option, joining the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi in Ford's plug-in hybrid family. The Focus will likely use technology originated in the C-Max Energi that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor capable of a 20-mile range, according to Autoexpress. The pure electric Focus is expected to stay in the lineup despite its slow sales; its price range should be similar to what's on the market now. The third-generation Focus looked good enough to become the top-selling nameplate in the world in 2012. Some exterior changes to look for in the Euro-spec model at the Geneva Motor Show in March include a reshaped hood, front wing endplate and rear bumper. Interior spy shots have hinted at an updated dashboard design and a simplified, less cluttered control panel with updated climate controls. Under the hood, there are quite a few power options rumored to be available - a gasoline EcoBoost with up to 123 horsepower and two turbo-diesel TDCI options, a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter mills that would produce between 94 hp and 161 hp. Then there are new 1.5-liter diesel and 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline variants that meet regulations in China, Brazil and Russia.
