This is a 1931 Ford Model A fordor sedan Briggs body. It has only had 3 owners. The second owner bought it from the original owner and kept it for many years. He stored the car in 1958 and intended to restore it one day. He is in his 80s and has health problems so he sold it to a buddy of mine in 2012. Photo of it being pulled out of the garage is below. My buddy had a good Model A mechanic good through the mechanics and he got the car running, driving and stopping properly. The only problem is the transmission makes noise in second gear. The mechanic was going to fix it but he, also in his 80s, died this summer. The car was taken to a 86-year-old body man who stripped the car down to metal. Car was very, very solid. He painted the car green and the fenders black. Paint job is good but has some blems. The top and the running boards were replaced. The car had incorrect wheels so Model A wheels were located, sandblasted and painted. New tires were mounted to all 5 wheels. The cowl lights were replaced, taillights converted to LED's, new windshield gasket installed, new welting for the hood sides, new water pump on the engine. We believe the interior is original. The window frames have been painted but new interior needs to be bought and installed. The car needs the side glass for the driver and passenger door. The other side glass and back glass we think are original. Car comes with some extra parts. It is a running, driving project. The owner has decided to sell it; his wife wants it gone. I listed it for the owner. Email any question and if you'd like to speak to the owner just ask for his number.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
