1929 Ford Model A Coupe: Traditional Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Fischer, Texas, United States
1929 Ford Model A Coupe: Great old school hot rod. 305 sbc with a mild cam, Edlebrock alum intake and 600 cfm carb, 350 AT, Camaro rear end with drum brakes, dropped front axle with disc brakes. Hairpin suspension front and rear; crossover springs and shocks in front with coil-over shocks in the rear. New starter and alternator (within the past year), new window regulators, new top wood and top and new driver's door latch. Parts of the top are framed using 1 x1 tubing. I drive this car a LOT and it's been very dependable. Well-built car with a full TS frame and Vega steering. Car runs great, drives well and is comfortable to drive once you get used to it. Not particularly quick but, it'll run as fast as you have the nerve to stay in it. REALLY likes to run at hi-way speeds. Steering is very responsive and car is very stable in turns. No unusual tire wear. Fuel tank is a 10 gallon poly tank. Car seems to get around 20-22 MPG. Only gauges are a tach, oil pressure and water temperature. Oil pressure is always strong and the car never gets over 175-180 degrees even in the middle of summer. All glass is in the car and good. One quarter glass has two cracks and the windshield has a chip but, I think they add character to the car. The seat is from a Suzuki Samurai and tilts forward providing some storage inside the car. There is a package tray in the rear that could easily be modified to provide more leg room, if desired. I'm just under 6'-0'' tall and fit comfortably. My son, who is 6'-3'', has a little more trouble driving it. Body is all original steel, never cut, pretty straight and better than most. No rust-through. The only issue you'll have to watch for is that the top will leak if left in the rain. Clear Texas title (as a 29 Ford) in my name. All in all, this car has been absolutely dependable. Its a great, fun car to drive. Buyer responsible for transport. Can assist on this end as needed. No warranties whatsoever.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market
Tue, 09 Jul 2013It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation
Sat, May 2 2015Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."
