I bought this car about two years ago in Louisiana and started gathering parts to put it together, it has now sat for a long time and doesn't seem to be moving. I could use the money elsewhere, so I am putting it out there to see if someone else can finish it off and enjoy. When I got the car, it came with tons of parts, all of which are laid out on the ground in the pics, MANY are brand new in packages, like a new dove radiator cap, new windshield wiper motor, new door handles, new body felt, new bumperettes, new rear view mirror, new handles for the rumble seat, new bumper steps for the rumble seat, new gauge bezel, and tons of other parts. All of the wood is there and in good shape. The seats that are in it are in good shape as well and could be used without changing the covers (if you like blue). I had a new frame built by Jim Weimer Rod Garage in Wisconsin and also ordered a four link kit from JWG, both seen in pics (still have the paperwork from Jim Weimer Garage). The frame is based on 32' rails, but they kick in at the back to accomodate a factory model a floor (this frame is seen on Jim Weimer's site). The floor on this car is nice with no rust or modifications and it would be a shame to cut it up to fit the rear of a 32 frame in it. I bought some other parts (engine, trans, blower, etc., that I am selling separately). I hate to sell the body, as it is the most solid Model A body I have ever seen. There is one small hole about the size of a pea onteh left quarter, and have a patch panel for it, although it just needs filling, I would not use a patch panel (came with car when I got it). The chop of the roof was done nicely and only need to be ground down and paint prepped. If you are looking to build one hell of a nice Model A without having to do tons of body work and rust replacement, this is it! The pictures show most everything I can think of, but it would be easiest to just give me a call and I can describe the car in full detail and answer any questions you have. Thanks, Chris 501-410-3229

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
Ford recalling nearly 5,700 2014 F-150s for power steering issue
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Ford is recalling 5,675 of its 2014 F-150 pickups over an issue with the electric power steering system. There haven't been any injuries or accidents due to the issue.
Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Autoblog that the "electric power-assisted steering and motor position sensor gear were incorrectly installed by a supplier," leading to the recall.
While the recall is larger on the surface, it's important to note that only 260 trucks have been delivered to customers. The remaining pickups are currently en route to dealers. The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 26 and June 19.
2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
