fresh out of dry storage since 1969 is this old model A coupe. i bought it from the person that had it from the early 60s. he rebuilt motor and installed a jc whitney 3/4 cam as he described it. he claims motor has probably 500 miles on it since rebuild. was last driven on his wedding day then put into storage. car is a rumble seat car with extra trim added along with a side mount antennae[ probably for a coontail as there is no radio]. i bought the car out of his storage shed brought it home and checked it over. the gas tank was dry and super clean-i had to replace the wheel cylinders and shoes along with a couple of steel brake lines to get the juice brakes working has good brakes now. the coupe has what looks to be 35 ford headlights for the sealed beams. car has 16'' rims. this is a old hotrod and the paint shows it with plenty of cracks and patina. the roof has been filled but has a false textured insert painted on and looks pretty nice. all the glass looks to be replaced back in the 60s with safety glass. car runs and drives down the road and all the lights -gauges-electric wipers etc work. car is a rumble seat cat and has been reupholstered again back in the 60s. car has very little rust in lower cowl that is typical and fenders have some dents. please feel free to email me with any questions or call my cell# 515-570-5646. buyer is responsible for shipping cost but i will help load etc as much as i can. has clear title. i require a 10percent deposit thru paypal within 48 hours of auction end. will make a perfect car to restore as it is complete or hotrod it. too nice of a car for me to use for my project so decided to sell. thanks and good luck marty

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
