1931 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1931 Mileage:99999
Location:

Up for auction is this nice little Model A Coupe with a rumble seat. It has an older paint job & restoration that looks to be about 10-15 years ago.  The paint is pretty nice, good for parades but not show winning quality.  It has some  extras like a radiator stone guard, moto-meter heat gauge, luggage rack on the back and a very expensive overdrive built in to the drive shaft giving the car 7-9 MPH higher top end speed.(see pics) ($1200.00 to install) Engine rebuilt during restroation.  Engine starts easily every time, with no smoking at any time. It runs nice & cool.  It is very peppy and cruises nice with the over-drive! It has never left me stranded & is very dependable.Tires are in nice shape with no need to replace.  The top is nice with no leaks.  The interior has been redone in green vinyl, clean with no rips or tears.  The rumble seat is also in nice shape and fun for the grandkids to ride back there! The bumpers are in decent shape.  The doors open and close nicely as does the hood and trunk.  The glass is all good.  The lights and gauges work and the horn blows.  The cowle lights need new bulbs.  It has dual taillights for better safety after dark.  There are vacuum type wipers, but not positive if they work. Again, not a show car, however a nice daily driver.  It runs, drives, and stops just great. Dependable in good shape as a parade car or advertising piece.  Always gets a thumbs up & smiles when out cruising.  Complete with the rumble seat for the kids.  The reserve is below $9K so it is affordable.  The mileage is not known. The car is currently in a garage and can remain there till spring to allow for transportation.   Please contact me to ask questions & further discuss this car prior to the end of the auction. I think you will enjoy driving this little Ford coupe.  Good luck and bid with confidence. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due to PayPal with in 24 hours of the end of the auction.  The balance is due in full within 7 days of the end of the auction as cash in person or wired to our bank account.  Any additional wiring fees to the buyer or seller are the reponsibility of the buyer. The buyer is responsible to arrange and pay for pick up or transportation of this car.  Again a cute little coupe!

Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
