Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster 1931 on 2040-cars
Crystal River, Florida, United States
|
I purchased this beauty from an antique car collector through an Ebay auction in 2008. The seller had the car restored by a professional restorer a short time prior to my purchase. The restoration was a complete frame-off endeavor. The vehicle had 9 miles on the odometer and presently has 173. I have kept it in my climate controlled garage.......and have only driven it a few miles every few months to keep things lubricated and "exercised." I purchased the car hoping that my wife and I could take it to car shows and enjoy participating in parades, and such. However, my wife was diagnosed with cancer shortly after the purchase and passed away a year later. As a result, I have lost interest. The car starts and runs great and everything works fine. It should........it's only been driven 173 miles since restoration! It has two side mounts, a trunk rack and trunk, a "boot" to put over the convertible top when it is in the open position and an original spotlight. (The previous owner told me he paid around 2K just for the spotlight). There is one tiny scratch in the paint.......located just below the rumble seat handle.....which can be seen in one of the photos. Other than that, I can find no other flaws. My reserve price is far less than what I paid. Good luck! If you are unable to personally inspect the car prior to bidding, you might consider having someone knowledgeable to do so. I would ask the winning bidder to give me a deposit of $1000. to hold the vehicle until a personal inspection can be made......and, if the car is not as described, would return the deposit (minus EBay's fee). I am a private seller, so I don't do credit cards or paypal. Please contact me with any questions you may have. On Jun-08-14 at 08:36:11 PDT, seller added the following information: The following ad was placed on Ebay by the previous owner in 2008. This wonderful Model A received a complete, frame off, professional restoration a few years ago to it's original fresh from the factory condition. Nothing was overlooked in returning this classic to perhaps better than it would have been if you bought it new off the factory assembly line. One just like this recently sold at the Kruse auction last fall for $50,000 plus the 8%fees. This is a rare opportunity to buy a nicer example at a fraction of that. If you have watched these cars, you already know what great investments they are. There are only a few in the world this nice. All photos in this ad were taken within the last 30 days. The car actually looks better than in the photos. The car was perfectly restored by the well know ford restorer Gerald & Son. It has been driven only 18 miles since the restoration. This is a Pebble Beach quality car. I doubt you would ever find a nicer example of the great classic. It is finished in the original Washington/Riveria Blue with Tacoma Cream wheels and LeBaron-Bonney interior and top with a tan & brown leather interior. It has the period correct leather covered trunk, rare dual side mounts with polished stainless steel covers and mirrors, etched glass wind wings, quail radiator cap and stainless steel stone guard. It also features the very rare sport light, spotlight |

What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?
Thu, Feb 5 2015The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
