Up for auction is this sharp little '31 Ford Model A Pick Up. Nice steel body with glass fenders. This auction includes all 4 steel fenders in very nice shape. I like the glass in the way they won't rust or dent, however, if you prefer the steel, just have the steel ones that are included painted. These fenders are easy to put on. The engine runs good with a surprisingly amount of pep. It has been pretty snappy driving around town. It drives at 45-50 mph on the open road. Once in awhile it seems to shift hard between first & second, and shifts good from 2nd to 3rd. The brakes work good, including the e-brake. The engine has been rebuilt in the past & starts good. No smoking at any time. The truck has 4 new tires on it with about 200 miles on them. The rims are nice. It has a nice and clean engine compartment. It has a newer interior with a nice seat. The glass is all good and the windows all work. It has newer running boards, however, could be repainted. The body is in decent shape with a few paint chips here & there, however, nothing major. Sometimes the truck will wobble at low speeds, so I've included new kingpins and a new pitman arm. They also make a steering stabilizer for Model A's. The steering hasn't stopped me from driving this truck all over. It only wobbles ocassionally at low speeds - never at higher speed & I wanted to bring it to your attention.The truck comes with many extra parts(see pics) relating to model A's. Please email to inquire if more detail of the parts is needed. The box of the truck is very nice with some paint flaking on the edges of the bed.(see pics). The headlights work, gauges work along with taillight. There is a horn, however, it needs to be wired. The underside of the truck is painted and loooks nice. It has nice oak sideracks. It has a nice new stoneguard on the front. I wouldn't classify this truck as a show winner, however, a very nice 'daily driver'. It is very sharp pick up that is snappy, fun to drive AND it turns alot of heads! Please email early to exchange phone numbers to further discuss this nice pick up. Do not wait until the auction is over to ask your questions or discuss this truck. I will get back to you. A $1000 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction to PayPal. The balance in full is due with 7 days of the end of the auction either cash in person or wired to our bank account. The balance WILL NOT be accepted into PayPal.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.
Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
