1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe Hotrod Hotrod Project (traditional) on 2040-cars
Cameron, North Carolina, United States
Great chance to get a traditional hotrod project. This is a 1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe with clean NC title. It is currently non-running and only needs timed, fuel, and battery charged to run again. This was originally a California car, and has only suffered minor rust issues in the lower cowl panels, lower front quarter panels, and very minor on the quarter panel area next to where the rumble seat lid goes. I have started to strip the car of the bad panels: rumble seat lid (still have for patch pieces), rear buggy spring cover, and panel blow rumble seat (new panel included). All glass is intact and trim pieces still there. Water pump was rebuilt in 2011 as I used to drive this around the neighborhood....and does not leak.
The frame is from Riley Automotive in Colorado (they specialize in hot rods). It's their Double Z frame which includes: model A cross-member, adjustable transmission mount with ladderbar mounts, Ford F1 style shock and headlight mounts, vega steering box mount, pan hard mount, and has a front kick up of 4inches in the front and 8inches of kick up in the rear to give you a nice traditional stance. The front end kit is also from Riley and is sold as the Dry Lake kit. This is a complete front end, all hardware, and all quality pieces. It has the '39 style Lincoln drum brakes (bendix), chassis engineering 4inch drop axle ('32 heavy duty style) with lightening holes. The rest of the parts are Pete & Jakes: front spring, shackles, kingpins, tie rod, panhard bar, steering arms, spindles, hubs (5x5.5), lower shock mounts, and tie rod ends. Also included is a set of split '36 or '37 wishbones that correspond to axle. WWII B-25 bomber seats x2 Chrysler 331 dual quad intake (actual vintage piece) 1955 Chrysler 331 HEMI core, disassembled, complete minus oil pan and original intake manifold, also included are new valve covers with correct stamped "Firepower" and chevy water pump adapter.

Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ fetches record price at Pebble Beach
Mon, Aug 27 2018The 1935 Duesenberg SSJ formerly owned by Gary Cooper sold for a jaw-dropping $22 million over the weekend at the Gooding & Co. Pebble Beach auction, setting a record for the most valuable pre-war car ever sold at auction. It also appears to have become the most expensive American collector car ever sold at auction, eclipsing the very first Shelby Cobra ever made, which sold for $13.75 million in 2016. The Duesenberg was also the lone American-made entrant in the list of top 10 sellers, which was crowded with the names Ferrari and Porsche. You have to go all the way down the list to No. 21 to find the next American car: a 1930 Packard 734 Speedster Phaeton, which sold for a mere $1.127 million. All told, Gooding & Co. said it realized more than $116.5 million in auction sales over the weekend, with a whopping 25 cars sold for north of $1 million, an 84 percent sales rate and an average transaction price of $947,174. Clearly this is how the other half 1 percent lives. Gooding & Co. said there were five world-record sales at the auction. Joining the Duesenberg were a 1955 Ferrari 500 Mondial Series II, which sold for $5.005 million; a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, $6.6 million; a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale, $3.41 million; and a one-of-two 1966 Ferrari Dino Berlinetta GT, $3.08 million. Oh, and that 1969 Ford Bronco test vehicle we told you about? The one that was rebadged by Holman & Moody as a Bronco Hunter? It sold for $121,000, which was well below the expected range of $180,000 to $220,000. Perhaps it was the presence of all those gorgeous Porsche Spyders and Ferraris that meant collectors weren't interested in boxy, utilitarian off-roaders. View 24 Photos Gooding and Co. had expected the convertible Duesenberg coupe to go for more than $10 million. It was one of only two of its kind built by Duesenberg — the other having gone to Clark Gable — with a specially shortened, 125-inch wheelbase and a supercharged straight-eight with double overhead cams, able to produce around 400 horsepower and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. It features a lightweight open-roadster bobtail body produced by LaGrande out of Connersville, Ind. The car was also owned at one point by race driver Briggs Cunningham.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
