1929 Ford Model A 4 Door “Murray” Town Sedan. This car is beautiful. See for yourself. It is not perfect, however it garners attention everywhere it goes. This car was completely frame off restored approximately 6 years ago. Mileage is listed as 1000, however this is simply because eBay would not let me leave it blank or NA. I have no idea how many miles are on the car, but I would estimate less than 1000. It was driven for a couple of years then stored. Since that time, it has been has been brought back to life. Fuel system completely cleaned and rebuilt. Engine removed and re-sealed. Cooling system completely flushed and cleaned. This car has fantastic detail. The interior looks like new, complete with rear shades. Seats show no sign of wear. Carpet is like new. All windows and doors work properly. Bumpers are like new. The undercarriage is as clean and detailed as the top of the car. The engine is a touring engine, balanced and powerful (for a stock 1929 Model A engine). The car drives very nice. Transmission is tight and brakes are like new. Exhaust is stock with the Model A muffler, and it sounds like a Model A should. At idle you can retard the timing and hear each cylinder fire. I have driven the car less than 200 miles.

The only issue with this car is the paint is showing some age (hurricane or whiskey bumps, depending on where you live). See the pictures. It still shines very nice, but there are some issues under the paint. The black is fine and looks like it is new. The green is where the issues are. See the pictures. This is not noticeable until you are very close to the car. From just a few feet away it is hardly noticeable. With proper paint, this would be a $30K+ ’29 Model A. But then you would be afraid to drive it, thinking that someone would put a ding in it, or a rock chip or bug. This car demands attention when going down the road and with the touring engine, you can enjoy driving it, and going on tours, it has plenty of power. There is a $25K “Buy It Now” price on this car. Reserve is slightly lower. Inspections are welcomed. If you are in the Houston area and would like to see the car in person, contact me (through eBay).

If you bid and win the car, this is a binding contract. Title is clear and immediately available. The vehicle is sold As-Is, Where-Is with no warranty implied and a clear title. I have represented the car to the best of my ability and knowledge. A $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 2 days of auction end is required for this transaction. The balance is payable in cash or with Certified Bank Funds within 7 days of auction end. Check must clear my bank. Title will be transferred upon receipt of funds. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & cost. Seller can deliver depending on agreed price between seller and buyer, ask for a quote. We’ll be happy to store the car for a short period of time. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally and this vehicle will not be sold overseas.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
