This is a 1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe. It's traditional style is what you'd expect to see in the 40's or 50's built by returning servicemen after the war with lots of imagination, skill, creativity and a need for speed, it's been upgraded with a strong 1969 Chevy 327 with a lumpy cam, TH350 automatic trans with a Lokar shifter, and a rear axle from a '57 Chevy. Chevy drivetrain in a Ford....the best of both worlds! It also has Weld Engineering finned front drum brakes, a rare and wicked cool Edelbrock X-1 6-pack intake manifold with six Ford script carbs, Cal Custom finned valve covers, '40 Ford steel wheels, split front bones, a Walker radiator, a fully boxed Model A frame, buggy rear spring, Pete & Jakes ladder bars, lakes style headers, '36 Ford dash, custom aluminum interior panels, a chopped custom made aluminum riveted (not pop-rivets, these are aircraft grade aluminum rivets), custom aluminum rear fenders, and on and on and on. Headlights are from a 30's Cadillac and have been upgraded with halogen bulbs. I guarantee that you'll NEVER see another one like it. It's always the hit of the show wherever I drive this beauty. It's finished in a teal gray 2-stage urethane paint. Make no mistake, this is a real bare knuckle HOT ROD, not a creature-comfort-laden street rod or Cadillac. It runs and drives like a hot rod should: fast and furious and all business! It has it's share of chips and rash from "normal" driving, but it looks great and gets thumbs up galore. Don't expect a Ridler award winning hot rod for what I'm asking. Glass is all good, front windshield is nice and clear, swings out like the originals did (I guess that was Henry's concept of "air conditioning", lol. Door glass is great too, windows crank up and down but a little stiff. Might need some adjustment, but I only drive this car in beautiful weather so I leave them rolled down. All in all it's a great hot rod that gathers attention everywhere it rolls. It starts easily, runs great, stops and steers great, tires have plty of life left, and it sounds great too. Uncork the lakes headers and you'll wake the dead! I keep em corked and it's much quieter, or so the neighbors say.

The car is legally in my name, no liens. NYS does not issue titles to these old cars, they issue "transferable registrations", that's what I have and will sign over to the new owner. All legit and on the up and up. I'm a no nonsense eBayer, check my feedback to reassure yourself. Payment in full and cleared by my bank before this leaves my possession. Anyway, I'm sure I've left out some stuff, so feel free to ask. Selling to make room for a new project, so no trades.

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad

Fri, Sep 9 2016

For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
