Up for auction is this sharp little '31 Ford Model A Pick Up. Nice steel body with glass fenders. This auction includes all 4 steel fenders in very nice shape. I like the glass in the way they won't rust or dent, however, if you prefer the steel, just have the steel ones that are included painted. These fenders are easy to put on. The engine runs good with a surprisingly amount of pep. It has been pretty snappy driving around town. It drives at 45-50 mph on the open road. Once in awhile it seems to shift hard between first & second, and shifts good from 2nd to 3rd. The brakes work good, including the e-brake. The engine has been rebuilt in the past & starts good. No smoking at any time. The truck has 4 new tires on it with about 200 miles on them. The rims are nice. It has a nice and clean engine compartment. It has a newer interior with a nice seat. The glass is all good and the windows all work. It has newer running boards, however, could be repainted. The body is in decent shape with a few paint chips here & there, however, nothing major. Sometimes the truck will wobble at low speeds, so I've included new kingpins and a new pitman arm. They also make a steering stabilizer for Model A's. The steering hasn't stopped me from driving this truck all over. It only wobbles ocassionally at low speeds - never at higher speed & I wanted to bring it to your attention.The truck comes with many extra parts(see pics) relating to model A's. Please email to inquire if more detail of the parts is needed. The box of the truck is very nice with some paint flaking on the edges of the bed.(see pics). The headlights work, gauges work along with taillight. There is a horn, however, it needs to be wired. The underside of the truck is painted and loooks nice. It has nice oak sideracks. It has a nice new stoneguard on the front. I wouldn't classify this truck as a show winner, however, a very nice 'daily driver'. It is very sharp pick up that is snappy, fun to drive AND it turns alot of heads! Please email early to exchange phone numbers to further discuss this nice pick up. Do not wait until the auction is over to ask your questions or discuss this truck. I will get back to you.

eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
