Rare 1931 Ford Model A400. This is an older restoration, but this car is in pristine condition. The motor has been completely rebuilt, as well as a rebuilt carburetor, starter, distributor and water pump, a brand new 6v alternator, as well as a new OEM wiring harness from front to back. The speedometer and all gauges work. New halogen headlights were installed, and the horn was also rebuilt and sounds great. The car runs cool and the body condition and paint are excellent, the body has no fillers or body work. The chrome is bright and the paint reflects everything in the background. The radiator is perfect and a stainless steel stone guard was installed. The interior is an older restoration but still looks very nice, and the car has brand new LeBarron Bonney wool carpet as original, as well as new aluminum door sills. Also a brand new LeBarron Bonney convertible top was installed. The tires on the car are new tires but they are weather checked and dry. There are five brand new tires that go with the car. The windshield wiper works and the running boards have brand new matting. The car comes with a new motometer on the radiator. The brakes are new and the car stops very well. The emergency brake works great as well. This car can be driven anywhere. The Ford Model A400 is the rarest body style of the Model A's, just over 5,000 were built, and few are still in existence. There is an A400 club online that can provide more information to this unique body style. This car was once in the Harrah Automobile Collection, and I have all the documentation from Harrah. The car has a title. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Inspections before purchasing the car are encouraged. The convertible top has a cover to go on when the top is down The car comes with a trunk on the back with a new spare tire .

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion
Tue, 01 Oct 2013A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.
Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
