1930 Ford Model A 5 Window Coupe With Rumble Seat - New Restoration No Reserve on 2040-cars
Year:1930
Mileage:4902
Location:
North Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
Here is a rare chance on a NO-RESERVE auction for a freshly restored 1930 Ford Model A 5 Window Coupe with Rumble Seat for 50 cents on the dollar. The client requested the "best restoration money could buy", but when the time came, he couldn't afford it. Now his loss and my loss can be your gain! The car started out as one of the most dent-free, rust-free, all metal examples of a 5 window coupe that my painter of 33 years experience had ever seen. He set out to make the Washington Blue with Black fenders sparkle like a show car, using superb bodywork and the best of PPG technology with Urethane basecoat and clearcoat. The 19 inch wheels were freshly sandblasted and powdercoated in Tacoma Cream and shod with new Lucas 4.75 x 19 inch tires, radial tubes, new chrome hubcaps and new chrome lug nuts. The interior was newly installed using the Cartouche vinyl kit and all interior panels were recovered in new matching vinyl with windlace. The original headliner looks new and wasn't changed. The rumble seat and side panels were fine but re-dyed to match. A fortune was spent on new chrome. New front bumpers and medallions, rechromed rear bumpers and spare tire guard, new inside door latches and window cranks and escutcheons, new dash instrument surround, new gas cap, new rumble seat latch, etc. The engine compartment was detailed with the correct engine green, new coolant hoses and clamps, exhaust manifold dressing and component restoration. The starter received a new, improved Bendix, and the radiator was sent out for cleaning, repairs and painting. New points were installed and the engine was tuned to purr at idle. The radiator shell and headlight buckets were polished, and a new, loud AA-OO-GAH horn was installed. It has the opening front windshield, proper vacuum wiper motor, and the temperature gauge radiator cap. The car runs and drives like a proper Model A. Shifting is easy ( for a non-synchro 3 speed) and the brakes stop firmly in a straight line. The engine has a ton of torque, shows no smoke ever, and doesn't leak a drop. It is the original matching numbers engine as shown on multiple titles, and looks to have always run dry and clean. The speedometer reads 04902.1 but the initial 0 is very faded and could be any number or no number. No claim is made on lifetime mileage, although the car has seen little use since 1964 with two owners. Everything on the car is original Model A except the battery was moved to the firewall for better access, and the horn is not an original Spartan horn. This is the kind of car you won't be afraid to drive, but it will still win trophies at local shows. We all know that perfect paint and body adds $ 10,000 to a Model A. At comparable prices, most cars feature older restorations with paint problems, and once you start trying to improve them, you can go underwater. This car is as fresh as they come, save for a $ 30,000 frame-off restoration. Yes, there are a few things that could be improved if you were in search of a Dearborn Award. The new running board rubber is ribbed and correct for a 1929, not the pyramid pattern of a 1930. The firewall is not show condition paint. Previously mentioned were the battery location and horn. The steering column and wheel haven't been repainted. There's a small BB hole in the lower corner of the rear window which could be filled with resin. Any car can be improved, but on this one, most of the projects are easy. This is a NO RESERVE auction. The opening bid meets the reserve, and the highest bidder in 10 days will win the car. I will not end the auction early. If the winning bidder doesn't come through, it will be offered to the second highest bidder. I reserve the right to question the finances of any extremely low feedback bidders and act accordingly. You are encouraged to inspect and test drive the car ( it is near the Charleston, SC airport - transportation arranged from the airport if needed) or have an appraiser inspect it. A clean South Carolina title will be on hand by auction end. If you desire extra pictures, please request via "ask a question". |

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022
Tue, Jun 15 2021If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids. Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs  |  Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs  |  Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.  Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
