Model A 1930 Coupe on 2040-cars
Rapid City, South Dakota, United States
1930 Model A Ford coupe. A very solid original car with rumble seat and rear mount spare. No body patches or rust out, fenders are very nice and solid as is the entire car. I will list what has been done so far, Rebuilt engine by Antique Engine Rebuilding, cyclinders bored, new pistons, rings ect, new valves and springs, crank turned, cam reground/replaced, new timing gears, oil pump, flywheel faced with new clutch and pressure plate, new throw-out bearing, and pilot bearing every thing has been completely rebuilt or replaced. This engine is new with less than five miles since installed back into the car. It also has a new Weber carb and intake on it, along with a new set of Reds headers.The starter was rebuilt with-in the last year and the generator last two. Engine is mounted with a Float-A-Motor front and rear. tranny was rebuilt about three years ago. It has a new set of gauges (oil and temp) mounted in a new bracket. New style dist. cap and rotor along with new style points and new wires and ends. Has a new water pump with a stainless shaft, also the engine has the 6:1 Snyders high compression head. The rebuild also includes new SS valves, new guides, new adjustable lifters, inserts on the main and rod bearings and resurfaced block. After I had the engine back in the car and running ( and Wow does it run nice!) I took it for a short drive, kind of fun to start out in low and just get the car rolling good and then shift into high, no power problems here. Other things I have done were to replace the junction box on the engine side of the firewall, replace some wiring, replace the gas gauge and float, ect. The car will need some brake work, the brakes stop the car like a Model A but could be better, I was considering juice brakes, but the original Model A brakes when up to snuff work just fine. The battery box and cables have been replaced also. If there are more question call 605-791-one four nine seven, evenings are best. The hood, front bumpers, headlights and horn are not on the car at this time, but I can reinstall before shipping/delivery. Depending on how one would like to finish the car up consider the work that has been done thus far, you could go old school hot-rod or very well hidden souped up original. (The V-8 wheels are available separate of the car because I thought some may not want them.) I will expect $500.00 down through pay-pal with-in 48 hrs of sale and the balance wire to wire bank transfer. I will help with loading ect. if you need the car shipped to you. To be sold with-in the 48 States Only! thanks for looking! |

Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
Plug In 2014: ALTe ready to join Ford's EQVM to convert, sell F-150 PHEV [w/video]
Mon, Aug 4 2014It's been a while since we've checked in with ALTe and its plans to convert big work vehicles like the Ford F-150 into plug-in hybrids. So, when we saw a demonstration vehicle sitting outside the San Jose Convention Center at the Plug In 2014 Conference last week, we had to get a closer look. When we did, we realized that it's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. It's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. The reason for the well-worn F-150 with 30,000 miles on it is that ALTe has been showing off its extended-range EV technology to lots of people all around the country, and Kyle Maki has been the man on the scene more often than not. "This one, I've taken all over the country," he told AutoblogGreen. "I've wore out that seat, I think. The only reason this one wasn't driven here was because we were in Charlotte [NC] last week and I didn't want to take a chance and not make it in time for this event." In other words, ALTe is out there, ginning up excitement for the idea of a plug-in hybrid Ford with an electric range of up to 40 miles and which can then continue on gas for another 360 miles at around about 25 miles per gallon. ALTe wants to not only convert new vehicles but it also offers retrofits for fleets that are happy with their current fleet. The company offers converted versions of the Ford E350 and E450 utility vehicles now but the near-mythical F-150 PHEV is still "coming soon." Yes, orders are now being accepted, but you will be forgiven if you think this is all happening on a slow time scale. There are simply a lot of things to do before ALTe can sell the truck. ALTe is currently attempting to join Ford's EQVM program, which is the electric version of the standard Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program. The QVM program requires coachbuilders to "be successfully evaluated by Ford Motor Company on criteria such as engineering, the manufacturing process, quality control, and adherence to Ford and Lincoln Divisions guidelines." Qualified applicants must also meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, conform to Ford/Lincoln conversion guidelines and agree to be inspected annually as well as have a "commitment to continuous improvement." Maki has a simpler explanation. "It basically means you're a preferred supplier, a Tier 1, if you will," he said.
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
