1930 Ford Model A 5 window coupe


Pay attention people as this is a great opportunity for a real deal steel 5 window coupe that has had a professional chop done, roof filled and frame work completed.
I am listing this for a good friend so here are the items I was made aware of:

Frame has been boxed
Hydraulic clutch and brake pedals and masters installed
Front suspension has a chrome drilled super-bell axle with chrome hairpins and chrome shocks
Steering by way of a Vega box with new components. Steering is nice and tight. Has a factory style GM colume.
Rear suspension is a Chevy early 60's style rear that has been rebuilt with all new drum brake components.
Even has new white wall tires and rears are studded snows! Think of the sparky burnouts!

Body is all steel with no signs of ever having rust.
Roof has been professionally filled and chopped. All garnish moldings also cut down and chromed.
Fenders and running boards all very clean straight steel.
Has steel floor pans and two different firewalls for your engine preference.
Trunk lid appears to be new. Lid and doors open and shut properly.
Hood is painted yellow with ghost flames and in really nice shape.
Has an aluminum fuel cell perfectly fit to the trunk.
Body is mounted to chassis properly and all loose items will be inside or attached for shipping. Car rolls easy.
Also comes with new chrome bumpers and brackets.

This is an excellent project, only selling as he has too many projects at this point and needs to focus on getting some things done.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to get an extremely clean 5 window with all the right mods done as the foundation for your project. This is not a junky ratrod and reserve is reflective of this.  Please bid what you are willing to pay and I promise it will be fun and a worth while purchase.

Please feel free to ask questions if you need to. One thing I need to mention is being the body is on the frame I am unable to confirm the vin stamped on frame is a match. It does come with a title which I assume is correct I just needed to disclose this.

Good luck everyone and happy bidding.

 Hello and thank you all for the great response and questions. One of the main questions was the chop...it has been chopped 4".
When considering this car please take into account how much time this starting point will save you overall and how clean and solid your car will be. Not only will it give you piece of mind it will also recapture your investment down the road when you show that you didn't start with a bastard. At 85 years old, she shows extremely well for her age. Best of luck.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.

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.
