Here you go folks; a 1930 Ford Model A 5 window all steel coupe! This coupe is exactly where everyone wants to start. Its all original with that great "PATINA" (the old skool guys call it "wear and tear")! It isn't perfect by no means, as I've taken pictures of areas that you may want to tackle, or just leave it and drive. I don't want to use the word "Rat Rod" because this coupe is much better than that. It has all 4 original fenders that appear to be rust free. The lower cowl area, small lower section of the trunk lid, leaded seam areas on both side of the roof panel, are showing "character!" The paint has scratches and chips throughout as pictured. Frame, front and rear axle all look good. For the picky eye, looks great at about a mile and a half away! But for someone just looking to get in a 5 window coupe and drive, you'll fall in love with it immediately! Overall, this 83 year old car is solid.
All glass is good, door windows roll up and down, and the windshield kicks in and out and latches as it suppose too. All gauges (speedo, volts, fuel), lights, horn, work as they should. New tail lights installed recently. New chrome dash bezel, wire harness, generator cut out switch, battery cut out switch, 6V battery all installed within the last year.
Engine cranks up and runs real good. It isn't a speed demon, but cruises in 3rd gear about as good as it gets. New water pump installed. All brakes work as they should and stops as easy or as hard as you can apply manual pressure! Has the optional windshield wiper that also works.
The interior is complete and in decent shape. Cabin seat doesn't have any rips. The rumble seat is in good shape, but gray in color. I bought this recently here off ebay.
Has 5 new Goodyear all weather 4.75-19 tires and tubes, purchased within the last year. This coupe looks to have been restored probabaly in the mid 80's.
All in all, you can get in her and drive today, enjoy the waves from folks, and put her back in the garage. Or, you can make one hell of a custom rod out of it, the choice is yours. VA Plates and tool box do not go with the car. Enjoy the auction and good luck!

Thanks for all the questions. I'll try to answer them each evening; Yes, the 30 is road worthy and is driven around on weekends. No, I don't have any extra body panels, but have a couple extra generators (1 generates but bad bearings, 1 bad), 2 extra gen cut outs (1 good, 1 not sure), a new pair of alunimun Ford door sill plates. No, I won't take $5K for this one (he must have thought I missed my nap). Not interested in any trades or payment plans. Sell only in United States. Thanks again for all the interest. Good Luck.

2013 Shelby GT350
Fri, 31 May 2013Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO
Thu, May 1 2014Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.
