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 |

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
