BRIEF DISCRIPTION: For your consideration I have a  very nice DRIVER QUALITY 1928 Model A Roadster that is all steel. 1928 was the first year for the Model A and I love them. This is a real nice car, but its no perfect 100 point roll out of the trailer show queen. It looks good, runs good and most everything works. I put lots of new stuff on including, new wide white Firestone tires, new top and new stainless steel front bumper and more. Its just a nice car that I will not take less that $19,999 for. The more perfect Roadsters start out for around $35,000 and go up. If you want just a nice car for fun, this may be it, if you want perfect get ready to pay more.

The following information is long and boring unless you want to buy the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens, TennesseeAthens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 42. I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year in Vietnam.  I’m Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American.  I’ve been married to the same good woman for almost 43 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

 

I NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!    Sorry, but 67 years old and work 6 days a week, I need a day to worship, spend time with family and rest my body and mind. I do answer my emails 2 or 3 times, I usually don't answer my cell phone. Life is more than just old cars!

 

DO I HAVE TO BUY THROUGH EBAY MOTORS?  I will sell the car direct, " I will sell direct". I know a lot of you guys just use ebay as a research tool and do not like the internet or have pay pal account. Come look and judge the car for your self or call and make a deal!

 

PLEASE, NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not want to do any trading for anything, thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE?  None that I can find.

 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR?     I’m a 67 year old retired mechanic/classic car restorer/auto mechanics intructor, when I find a car I like, can sell for a fair market price and make a few bucks, I buy it fix a few things and resell.

 

PAINT:     The paint would be considered very nice driver quality, the shine is brilliant, no rust bubbles, no dents. You will see some specs in the paint if you look with a critical eye and some minor defects, but its good looking paint. We did buff and polish the car to make it look fresh.

 

CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK:       I put a new stainless steel front bumper on, new gas cap, new grab handles, new step, the rear bumper shines good, but has some pits, the grill shell is very decent, but has some dulling around the radiator cap, the headlight chrome shines good, but has some pits. I was going to put a new radiator cap on and the bottom part was on so tight I just left it, the top part opens good to check the coolant.

 

INTERIOR:    The interior is pretty good, no real wear, the bottom front seat springs are pushing the material on the corner of the passengers side. I put a new floor mat in.

 

DOES THE CAR HAVE ANY BODY-FILLER? Yes, it over 80 years old, no cracks or bubbles, no swelled places, but if you do the magnet test, it is weak in some low places.

 

 

GLASS:   The glass is in good condition.

 

ENGINE:    The engine is a sweet running 4 cylinder flathead, its a good engine with no knocks other than Model A sounds. We cleaned the carburetor and put a new set of plug in.

 

The car has been converted to a 12 volt system with a alternator, this is a good thing in my opinion.

 

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  The exhaust is new from the manifold back.

 

TRANSMISSION: 

 3 speed manual transmission, it shift good to me, these were not simonized gearing, so don't expect to do any speed shifting. 

 

REAR-END:    Its good with no whines or growls other than normal Model A sounds.

 

BRAKES:  Good for mechanical brakes, but you have to give it some heavy foot.

 

STEERING:  The car drives like most old Model A Fords, it not impressive after driving modern cars, its 1928 steering.

 

WHEELS AND TIRES:   Original 21 inch wheels, the 4 on the ground are new wide-shite Firestones with new tubes and liners.

 

LIGHTS:     Headlights and tail light work, as well as the stop light. The old switch has been replaced with a push/pull switch.

 

 

Ahooga horn is working, but on a push button switch on the dash.

 

HOW IS THE TOP? New.

 

HOW IS THE RUNNING BOARD RUBBER? They are nice with no holes or cracking, but not new.

 

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE?    I think they open and close good for a Model A.

 

 

 

TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just to hard!

 

 

CONTACT INFO: my cell is 423-506-8987, I do not answer when driving, while meeting with people, after about 8:00 PM Eastern Time or on Sunday morning or Sunday nights. Please leave a voice mail and I’ll get back. I do check my emails several times a day.

     cell    423-506-8987     email:  dreamcar@live.com

 

PAPERWORK: I know what to do! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but we are a Tennessee licensed/bonded car dealer and have sold cars all over the US and exported many.

 

 

I RESERVE TH RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

 

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED:  The car is here at my home in Athens, Tennessee. Athens is in east Tennessee, we are 50 miles south of  Knoxville. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville. I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303. The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport, but has no commercial flights.

 

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens, TennesseeAthens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year in Vietnam.  I’m Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American.  I’ve been married to the same good woman for almost 43 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

 

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens, Tennessee is 37303. I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40,  so transport is usually very fast.

 

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car, this can be by PayPal, but I will not take full payment by PayPal.

 

         Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face.

         Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the check clears, I have had

                          a fake bank certified check.                                                                 

         Option 3: The safest and fastest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a

                           member of the US Federal Reserve, this is called wire

                           transfer.

           

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 64 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are welcome, but they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself.  I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first!

 

TRADES: Please no trades!

 

BOTTOM LINE:    My real price is $20,000 and I'm asking $21,500 on the local market, if you hit the buy now the price is $20,400, come look. The game is not rocket science, ask a price on the local markety and come down. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down.

 

PLEASE!!!!!!   PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Come look at this vehicle.

Please don’t hit the Buy Now button unless your ready to really buy it!

Do your research, call me with questions, read my feed backs, I am ebay verified; this means they say I’m a real person in a real place.

 

I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION; YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON’T BE A CRY BABY.

 

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

 

Thank You,

2016 Ford Fusion hybrid, plug-in getting $900 price cut

Thu, Feb 19 2015

While the overall the green car market in the US suffered a slump in 2014 with a 6.5-percent drop in sales, the demand for electric vehicles and plug-ins actually jumped a healthy 28 percent. The Ford Fusion Energi plug-in was among the winners in the segment with a nearly 90 percent boost to 11,550 examples sold for the year. To keep the ball rolling in the face of low gas prices and updated challengers entering the field, the Blue Oval is slashing $900 off the cost of both the Energi and standard Fusion Hybrid to make them even more attractive to buyers. Ford's Monique Brentley told Autoblog that, the reduction was done, "basically, just to attract more customers and promote sales." The cut affects every trim of both electrically assisted versions of the Fusion for the 2016 model year, according to Cars Direct, and it comes without the removal of standard equipment. On the contrary, the Energi reportedly gets a new EcoSelect driving mode that activates additional regenerative braking and more gentle acceleration. The $900 pricing adjustment is only for these models and not available on the versions with only an internal combustion engine, which makes it clear Ford wants to tantalize green car buyers towards this pair. According to Cars Direct, the models should go on sale in late 2015. The least expensive 2016 Fusion Hybrid S will retail for $25,675, plus $825 destination on all of them, and a 2016 Energi start at $33,900. Autoblog's own pricing pages for them show the same numbers (here and here). Cars Direct also predicts for the Blue Oval to keep most incentives in place even after the adjustment. Assuming these figures don't change before the sedans actually go on sale, the price cut makes a 2016 Energi less expensive than a 2015 Chevrolet Volt starting at $34,345 (plus $825 destination). The cost of the updated 2016 model for the Chevy isn't announced yet.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014



They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
