1929 Ford 2-door Sedan. Mostly Original Running Car on 2040-cars
Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States
|
A real popular car to either restore, hot rod or just drive the way it is. This is what a lot of people are looking for. A numbers-matching, running and driving, easy to get parts for, 85-year old car. I bought this a couple of years ago from an estate of a Model T collector. It was the odd-ball in his collection. I put a new 6-volt battery in it and drove it home with not one problem. Since then, I have started another project car which requires money and space. This car is very solid. Odometer showing 17,866 miles. No rust out areas. All glass and wood are very good. Tires are not worn or weathered. Brakes are good. Starts easily. Does not smoke. Has accessory Autolite heater and spare tire cover. Grill shell is reproduction stainless. Headlights are also stainless with sealed beams. All lights work. Windshield tilts as it should. Radiator and water pump do not leak. Top is fairly new. Transmission shifts well. A real fun car to drive. Lots of smiles from everyone. On the negative side, it does need a paint job and interior cloth. The cloth can be ordered as a kit and not too hard to install. All mechanical/metal parts are intact inside, including window trim and seat springs. The front seats are padded and covered, but are not original material. Restoration would be easy while still having a driving car. Can help with loading. Car is locally advertised, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Will require a $500.00 deposit, 5-business days after sale. Balance due before car leaves. Can hold in storage for short time. Buyer responsible for shipping. |

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
