1931 Model A Ford Stake Bed Pickup Restored To Outstanding Show Specifications on 2040-cars
Rock Hill, South Carolina, United States
This truck was restored by the restoration shop that produced two Fine Point vehicles that won The Henry twice in MARC and First Place in MAFCA National events. It was restored in the same shop, using the same equipment, methods, jigs and fixtures that were used to produce those two award winning vehicles. It has a professional paint job of very high quality. It has aver 95% original hardware, original sheet metal, hood and fenders, etc. The rear fenders and custom stake bed were made from drawings accumulated from the Benson Ford Research Center in Greenfield Village in Detroit, Michigan. We have an addition Model A Tudor that we use for driving on tours, and this has just been in a temperature controlled garage for most of it's existance. It is a GORGEOUS truck in EXCELLANT condition. It has never been more than 8 miles from home. It has less than 300 miles in three years. The motor has been completely rebuilt with a mild high compression head, and the transmission and shift tower have been professionally restored. It has completely new brakes and the rear end has been completely gone thru and completely restored. The gearshift and emergency brake have been properly butler nickel plated. The truck is equipped with two tail lights and turn signals that sound when flashing, and it has a third brake light mounted at the front of the bed. The tail gate an all the stake sides are removable. I built it for my wife to carry hay and items around the farm, but she is fearfull of scratching the 'new' truck. I have been involved more and more with metal shaping and am currently building an aluminum bodied Model A speedster and that is requiring additional types of equipment, and that is the reason for the sale. I am also looking for motor components for a 1928 20 HP Rolls Royce boat tail speedster engine. Any leads would be appreciated. A NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of the auction closing, and the balance in 7-days in either cash or preferably a bank wire transfer. NO THIRD PARTY BS or equivalant. I am not interested in shipping, and this vehicle needs to be picked up within 10 days from the conclusion of the auction/sale. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE LISTED LOCALLY, AND CLAIM THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY!

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
