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.

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728

Fri, May 6 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
