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.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.

Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020

Wed, Jan 15 2014

The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
