Vintage Ford 1928-1929 Model A Coupe Hot Rod, Scta 1932 on 2040-cars
Burnsville, Minnesota, United States
Up for auction is my personal Original Henry Steel 1929 Ford Model A Coupe. The car is setup on an original, pinched, 1932 Chassis. The Car comes equipped with a 307 Small Block Chevrolet. I also put a new intake with 2 Edelbrock 4 barrel carbs from Speedway. I am also running Gear Drive Lake Headers with baffles. The car is running a Turbo 350 Trans with a 1966 Nova rear. The car has been chopped, approximately, 3 inches so plenty of room. I am 6' 1" and have another couple of inches of head room to go. The brakes are Bendix style, self energizing in the front with the Nova rear drums in back. It is running 15" Firestone bias ply tires all around. Tires only have 3k miles on them so plenty of tread left. Car has all garnish moldings in place along with cut glass. I purchased a 32 style dash (not painted) and also placed a full set of brand new Stewart Warner gauges in it.
You can drive this car anywhere. I have taken it on an 800+ mile trip for the last couple of years and runs like a champ. It's a traditional hot rod so it consumes some oil on long trips and drips small amounts of oil when parked. This is not a street rod or show car. Its a DRIVER that you hop in and go. Rides very well at 65 and 70 mph. One finger on the steering wheel. The only reason that I am selling it is because I have 5 other cars and not enough space to keep them. I have nothing to hide with this car. If you have questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I buy many hot rods myself and don't like bad experiences. I am surely not going to deliver one to the new owner of this car. This is a bitchin little hot rod so bid away. The car has a clean MN title in my name. The buyer is responsible for paying a $500 Non Refundable deposit 48 hours after the winning bid, via Pay Pal. The buyer is also responsible for all shipping costs associated with getting the car to its new home. OR COME PICK IT UP AND DRIVE IT HOME! The buyer and I will discuss the remainder of the payment via telephone. The car is being sold as is and with no warranty stated or implied. Once the car is purchased it is yours. |

Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks
Sun, 31 Mar 2013Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
