1929 Ford Model A Open Cab (Roadster) Pickup. Original Survivor Driver.We aquired this very good,clean,solid example of the 1929 Ford Model A Open Cab Pickup from a private collection here in Texas. When we got it back to the shop all we did was pulled the choke,set the throttle,turned the fuel petcock on & hit the starter foot pedal to fire the 201 CID L-head 4 cylinder engine to life. We drove it around for a short distance and it drives very well for an 84 year old Historic Vehicle, very solid & quietly shifting through the gears with the top down listening to the birds sing as we motored through the park ! This truck has been well cared for through the years spending most of its life indoors except for regular Sunday drives & occasional Parade duty (someone said Henry Ford called this color"St.Patrick's Day Parade Green",I don't know if I believe that though!).The under carriage is very clean & solid (see pics) with the normal road grime you would expect from a driver. The exterior is in very good,complete condition with a few nicks & chips having been resprayed at some point in its life(hard to find one that looks this good that hasn't),the windshield folds out smoothly as it should & the top bows are included however we did not receive the convertible top with it. There is a very nice & usable storage trunk in the bed that is clean & lockable and the wood slats for the bed are also very solid and well cared for.The interior is also in very good condition with recent upholstery on the seats,door & kick panels and a solid floor panel in place. There are are six good tires included & all the lights work as well. This 1929 Ford Model A pickup will be seen on an upcoming episode of the Hit Show Fast N Loud & the Winning Bidder will have the option of taking delivery on the show! This is a very good,clean , solid Truck for cruising around in just as it is suitable for Promotional Advertising , Parade duty or a good start to a Classic Museum Quality Restoration. Clear Texas Title in hand. We sell Internationally as well as locally & will end the Auction when it sells. See all pics & ask any questions

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
