NO RESERVE!! CAR SELLS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!
Up for sale today is my 1930 Ford Model A Coupe that was restored approximately 8 years ago. Car was restored back to original condition along with a few modern upgrades such as sealed beam headlights, upgraded water pump shaft, aluminum windshield frame and an aftermarket hood prop to protect the paint when the hood is opened. It retains the original 6 volt positive ground electrical system. A new battery was just installed and the generator is in proper working order. All the electrical components in the car work as they should; high and low beam headlights, taillight, brake light, horn and AMP gauge. The fuel gauge and speedometer work as well. I checked the speedometer with my GPS and it's +/- 1 or 2mph at speed. Timing advance lever, throttle lever, throttle pedal and choke are all hooked up and working properly. Parking brake is connected and working properly. The chassis/suspension was greased and the brakes adjusted while the car was on the lift to take the undercarriage photos. The 4 cylinder flathead engine and 3 speed trans are in flawless working order. It starts right up every time and runs and drives great! It appears that the engine has been completely overhauled given it's external appearance (new gaskets, seals, hardware, etc.) and it's flawless operating condition, however, I can not verify this through any paperwork or receipts as I did not receive any when I purchased the vehicle. I think you will agree though once you have inspected the vehicle for yourself. Interior is in great shape with no rips, tears or stains in any of the upholstery. Seat is still nice and springy when you sit in it. Original style rubber floor mat is in great shape as well with no holes or tears. The doors work great and shut tight. Windows roll up and down and windshield tilts out smoothly. It's a very solid/tight car when driving down the road, no squeaks, rattles, etc. Paint is in good shape overall but is not show car quality paint. It has cracks/chips/scratches as to be expected of any 8 year old restoration that has been driven. It shines great and is perfect for a nice driver that you don't have to panic about when the kids try and climb up on the fenders (hey, everybody likes a shiny red Model A!) The photos listed are not the only ones I have, just the ones I could fit here! Send me your e-mail address and I'll e-mail you a file with over 100 photos of the car and a video of the engine starting and running. I have a clear 1930 Ford title in hand ready for transfer. Car is located in Fredericksburg Virginia 22407. If you want to view the car or have any questions feel free to call me anytime at 540-850-0115 NO RESERVE!! CAR SELLS TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER!!

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
