1930 Ford Tudor Sedan restored from an exceptionally solid, straight, rust-free original. A very lovely Model A that always receives glowing compliments, particularly regarding the razor straight body, show-worthy paint and '31 style deluxe mohair interior. The car has been driven very sparingly since the restoration, always kept covered indoors and never exposed to inclement weather and truly shows no noticeable aging or wear. The chassis and drive-train have also been completely rebuilt. The brakes feature accessory floaters which significantly improves their efficiency. Vacuum wiper motor restored and works perfectly. The instrument panel features a NOS speedometer. It still shows all zeros as I haven't been able to bring myself to hook it up (there is a speedometer cable included). Would estimate the car has been driven less than 1000 miles since restoration. Non-original features include the '31 style deluxe mohair interior and a '32 style stainless-strip hood hinge on a Rootlieb reproduction hood. Had a very nice original hood but even nice ones are difficult to restore to Rootlieb reproduction quality. Those guys make outstanding products. The later hinge eliminates the annoying paint chipping normally seen with an original hinge and ties in nicely with the stainless cowl band and stainless radiator shell. I'm sure Henry would approve (why didn't he think of it sooner?) and it wouldn't be difficult to revert to original should new owner prefer. The radiator shell shows a small wrinkle on the upper left edge. I have a very nice, straight replacement to install before it goes to a new home. Also, not shown in the pictures are a very nice original horn (not installed) and a locking Moto-Meter (with wings) radiator cap (not installed) that will go with the car. The car cold-starts instantly with a 6-volt sealed Optima battery. If you have a 6-volt vehicle without one of these you're missing out! My only complaint about the car is that it (like every other Model-A??) leaks a bit of oil, making a garage-floor drip pan an essential accessory. It does have a "leakless water pump" which is a great feature, as Model A owners can attest, for keeping the engine bay nice and clean. The auction involves a very reasonable reserve; significantly less than completing a comparable restoration. As a used car, it is offered for sale as-is where-is with no warranties stated or implied. The buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements for shipping or pick-up of the vehicle. A $500 pay-pal deposit will be due from the winning bidder within 72 hours of auction conclusion and the remaining balance by direct wire transfer to my bank within 7 days. Other certified-funds may be acceptable (contact seller through eBay). The car and/or title will not be released until all funds have completely cleared all banks involved.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]
Tue, 20 May 2014The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
