Backyard Barn Find In Backyard #2! This Car Was My Favorite! on 2040-cars

This 5 Window Coupe was restored in the early 90s and while not a show car it still looks very good.  Personally, I think this was the best car pa did.  I loved this car.  It was my favorite.  I always told him I was going to drop a V8 in it, like American Graffiti. 

Since I sold my 34 5 window coupe, I would love to keep this car and rod it out, but I can not wreck this beauty.  I plan to take the money from this and finish the car I started for my pa - a 1959 Impala.  He said it was his favorite car of all times. 

My father built this car and a half dozen other cars from the ground up.  I have driven this car from time to time over the years and it is mechanically sound, unfortunately it has not been driven in the past three years.  For this reason I recommend cleaning the gas tank.  (unless I get it done ahead of time :)

I will try my best to get it running before the auction ends. For those of you who know these cars, Henry built them so the average man could repair them and keep them running.  You have to love Henry for that!

Few cars get more attention than an old Model A Ford with a rumble seat. This 1930 is no exception. The green two tone paint is in good condition. The original style mohair interior, which was replaced, is like new. The body, frame, fenders, wheels, motor are all reconditioned original.  This is not fresh molded parts ordered from a magazine. 

It has not been that long since this car ran, so getting it road worthy should be not big deal.   Again, I will do my best to get it running by the end of this auction.  I am posting a lot of pictures so you can get a good sense of the car's condition.  I just washed it for the pictures.  I know it is difficult to buy a car off of pictures, so personal inspection is welcomed. 

I have many Model A parts and more cars to sell. Please contact me with any questions.  Thank you.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car

Thu, Jan 29 2015

As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.
