1929 Ford Model A Phaeton

Very Cool Car for sale here with a great story behind it.

This is an all original steel body and fenders that was purchased from an 88 yr old man back in 2003. He purchased the car in Nov. of 1954 and drove it home and parked it in his shed. The car sat there since as he started tearing it down to restore it. We have a lamenated copy of the title from when he purchased it where he never titled it in his name because he didnt wanna pay taxes on the car. Anyways the paint is the same color as it was when he purchased it. The fenders were took off and painted with a satin black. The car has a new interior, top and side curtains. New wiring harness from EZ wiring and new dolphin gauges as well. This car is very solid with no patch panels anywhere. It has very little rust and the little that it does have can be seen in the pics and the video that I made on the car.

Chassis:

The frame on the car has been fully boxed and painted with POR-15 Paint. It has a new superbell 4'' drop axle with a super glide spring, shocks and unisteer rack and pinion steering. Has 40's style brakes on the front and a Ford bronco rear end that has been 4-linked with QA1 coilovers. New tires all the way around even the spares on both sides are new.

Here is a link for the video of a walk around on the car and the engine running.

Engine:

Has a 305 chevy engine with a 700R trans and a Lokar 23'' shifter.

It has a New walker radiator as well.

This has been my dads hot rod for a while now but we have to many projects sitting around and need to move on to some others. When it was built he wanted a 60's style hot rod look. This car runs and drives great and has been taken on several 3+ hour long trips to rod runs in TN etc. It has been a great car and has never let us down or left us stranded. We have calculated the fuel mileage on these trips and it gets 19.5 MPG. It cruises great down the interstate at 70 mph with no problems. This car isn't cut up anywhere. This car has a clean and clear NC title in my dads name. It is also being sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. If anyone has any questions about the car we will be glad to answer them. I have tried to describe the car to the best of my ability. No trades we just want to sell the car. Any questions call or text Micheal 828-217-2546 or Larry 828-217-0799

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.

Ford, Chrysler and Mazda expand scope of Takata airbag recalls

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The scope of the Takata airbag inflator recall is ballooning once again across the United States. Where Honda has elected to take its driver-side airbag campaign nationwide, Chrysler Group and Ford have now announced expanded regional actions to cover some passenger-side airbag inflators. Mazda is adding more regions, as well. For Chrysler Group, the campaign covers the inflators on 149,150 examples of the 2003-model-year Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. The recall is limited to vehicles sold or ever registered in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and the territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The company will begin notifying affected customers on January 19. According to Chrysler's announcement of the action, the passenger side inflators in these trucks "are of a type that is not used in any of the other vehicles affected by Chrysler Group's regional field action." The automaker says that it's not aware of any actual failures or accidents in these pickups and even claims there are no "observed failures in laboratory testing of its airbag modules." The company is continuing to study the problem, though. Ford is taking a similar step by issuing a recall of inflators for 38,500 examples of the 2004-2005 Ranger and 2005-2006 Ford GT. The campaign only affects vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Certain zip codes of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa are also covered. There's already precedent for passenger-side airbags to be covered under the Takata inflator recall. When many automakers announced campaigns in June, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all included that side in some of their repairs. Subaru subsequently did, as well. In addition, Mazda is expanding the scope of its recall to add Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Saipan, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas to the affected areas. The company estimates that it has a total of 86,773 vehicles in need of repair. Mazda is also teaming with Toyota to begin independent testing of the Takata inflators. Scroll down to read all of the automakers' announcements of these newly expanded recalls. Statement: Air-Bag Inflators December 3, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
