1929 Ford Model A 4 Door “Murray” Town Sedan. This car is beautiful. See for yourself. It is not perfect, however it garners attention everywhere it goes. This car was completely frame off restored approximately 6 years ago. Mileage is listed as 1000, however this is simply because eBay would not let me leave it blank or NA. I have no idea how many miles are on the car, but I would estimate less than 1000. It was driven for a couple of years then stored. Since that time, it has been has been brought back to life. Fuel system completely cleaned and rebuilt. Engine removed and re-sealed. Cooling system completely flushed and cleaned. This car has fantastic detail. The interior looks like new, complete with rear shades. Seats show no sign of wear. Carpet is like new. All windows and doors work properly. Bumpers are like new. The undercarriage is as clean and detailed as the top of the car. The engine is a touring engine, balanced and powerful (for a stock 1929 Model A engine). The car drives very nice. Transmission is tight and brakes are like new. Exhaust is stock with the Model A muffler, and it sounds like a Model A should. At idle you can retard the timing and hear each cylinder fire. I have driven the car less than 200 miles.

The only issue with this car is the paint is showing some age (hurricane or whiskey bumps, depending on where you live). See the pictures. It still shines very nice, but there are some issues under the paint. The black is fine and looks like it is new. The green is where the issues are. See the pictures. This is not noticeable until you are very close to the car. From just a few feet away it is hardly noticeable. With proper paint, this would be a $30K+ ’29 Model A. But then you would be afraid to drive it, thinking that someone would put a ding in it, or a rock chip or bug. This car demands attention when going down the road and with the touring engine, you can enjoy driving it, and going on tours, it has plenty of power. There is a $25K “Buy It Now” price on this car. Reserve is slightly lower. Inspections are welcomed. If you are in the Houston area and would like to see the car in person, contact me (through eBay).

If you bid and win the car, this is a binding contract. Title is clear and immediately available. The vehicle is sold As-Is, Where-Is with no warranty implied and a clear title. I have represented the car to the best of my ability and knowledge. A $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 2 days of auction end is required for this transaction. The balance is payable in cash or with Certified Bank Funds within 7 days of auction end. Check must clear my bank. Title will be transferred upon receipt of funds. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & cost. Seller can deliver depending on agreed price between seller and buyer, ask for a quote. We’ll be happy to store the car for a short period of time. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally and this vehicle will not be sold overseas.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Fri, May 9 2014

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
