I am selling this 1930 Model A Tudor that I purchased from the heirs of a fellow who had died. I'm inclined to call it "barn fresh" but cannot as some restoration has been done on it. It has very nice sheet metal which makes it a good potential for restoration. You may not have to buy any sheet metal for it, but that is your decision. I, personally, would buy only new running boards/splash aprons for it. I would use all the rest of it - including the extra front passenger fender that I am including with it.

Following are my visual observations of it:

---Hood - nice, but two very small dents on one side which can be filled with body filler. The louvers are nice.

---Fenders - there are none of the "normal" breaks found on most original fenders, that normally require a weld. The drivers front fender, and both rear fenders are solid with some small denting. The passenger side front fender is pretty bad

so I will send another, much nicer fender with the car.

---Cowl - on the drivers side there is some rust out, which you can buy a patch for, or do what I have done, which is cover it with fiberglass (6 years ago-still nice and not noticeable) (see picture). Also 2 holes drilled - antenna??? Passenger

side is good.

---Doors - drivers side is good, no rust thru or holes on bottom. Passenger side has some rust thru on lower outside, but not on door bottom. Can buy patch for it or fix with fiberglass.

---Body - behind doors (both sides) and around the back - looks fine.

---Body frame - this part of a car, if it is rusted out, is difficult to fix. On this car, except for one place (the short 45 degree piece by the clutch pedal), this body frame is strong and looks fine. You can replace this one piece if you wish, but I

don't feel it is necessary as body frame is strong and this piece is covered by the floor mat.

---Gas tank - looks fine.

---Windshield frame - what I can see and feel look fine.

---Glass -- back window and 3 side windows look fine, one side window has a crack in it.

---Windshield - there is some separation between the pieces so it should be replaced, especially with safety glass so one doesn't severely hurt themselves in an accident.

---Roof -- a limb fell on it and dented it..

---Interior wood - Looks like it may have been replaced because it appears solid,, except for the piece over the windshield which perhaps should be replaced. The roof bows and chicken wire in the roof all look good as if they have been

replaced.

---Dash = is complete but rusted. The speedo reads 10,100 miles - original ????

---Floor boards - basically useable and solid, except for the piece in the back seat foot rest, which has a few soft spots which may or may not need replacing.

---Radiator - looks good, in fact it is an ORIGINAL which is unusual to find one still in use - maybe the mileage is correct???

---Radiator shield - very nice.

---Lights - nice buckets but seal beams. All original internal parts are available from vendors (repro parts which are fine). One tail light is present.

---Tires - four (4) NEW tires on the car.

---Horn - one present but not original Model A type.

---Wiper - original vacuum type Model A style.

---Steering wheel - not bad, is restorable.

---Interior moldings --side windows and back window are present.

---Handles - missing one door handle.

---Firewall - decent with couple of extra drilled holes, and larger hole for heater manifold plus one extra approx. 2" hole

---Motor - stuck but complete with generator, starter, water pump, coil, carburetor.. No restoration here that I can see.

---Chassis - complete with differential, tranny, clutch housing, and frame. But no visible restoration done on it.

---Title -none, heirs were unable to locate it.\

---Running Boards - solid, no rust thru, but horizontal parts (that you step on) are welded on plates. This will require

you do drill holes in them for bolts to fasten them to frame braces/ You can still cover these with normal rubber covers

but there would be small bumps in the rubber where the bold heads are.

---Seats - front seat frames present and look okay, rear seat wooden frames also present and look fine. Some springs are present, but I wouldn't use them.

This car is the basis for a nice restoration because the sheet metal is in such good condition. The mechanical parts are such that

a "Sunday mechanic" can do much of his own work, especially with the number of restore/repair manuals available.

THERE IS NO TITLE TO THIS CAR. THE HEIRS OF THE OWNER COULD NOT LOCATE IT. I HAD TO FILL IN THE TITLE BLANK IN ORDER TO LIST IT. IN MY PERSONAL PAST, I HAVE HAD A TITLE CREATED FOR A CAR I HAD PURCHASED, SO I KNOW IT CAN BE READILY DONE. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FACT DETRACT FROM YOUR PURCHASE OF THIS CAR, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A TITLE CREATED. I wanted to put "No title" in the title spot, but it wasn't allowed.

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.

2016 Ford F-150 gets sporty new sport mode for added sportiness

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Good news, everyone! The Ford F-150 fullsize pickup truck is getting a new sport mode for 2016. Because it needs it, or something. "Crazy-smart Ford engineers have struck again – this time blending the sport mode feature borrowed from the all-new Mustang with the reduced weight of the all-new F-150 to deliver an engaged, dynamic driving experience with any of the four high-output, fuel-efficient powertrains available to truck customers," Ford says in its press release. In fact, the Mustang tie-in comes up a few other times. "An advanced feature of F-150's six-speed automatic transmission is its ability to match engine rpm as it downshifts in slowing for a corner. Electronics calibration for this feature comes straight out of Mustang." That's right, folks. A two-ton truck with rev-match downshifts. The F-150's sport mode holds the transmission in the powerband, limiting upshifts during more spirited driving. "It makes Mustang come alive, and we feel it does the same thing in F-150," says one Ford engineer. Sport mode is activated by pushing the tow/haul button twice, at which time an amber "S" illuminates in the dash. We're hoping this also means that pushing the sport button in a Mustang will activate tow/haul mode. Sport mode is standard on all 2016 F-150s, and can be used with two- or four-wheel drive. More details are available in the release, below.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
