Up for auction is a very solid running, driving Model A Coupe fresh from sunny and dry California and ready for any purpose you might want it for.

I bought this car from a fellow who bought it in Bellflower, CA in 1963 and who has owned it ever since. Two years ago he moved to Kansas City, MO to be closer to his daughter and brought the car along and put it in a mini-storage complex. He has reached the point now where he is going to "officially" retire in Arizona and decided to sell his trusty old coupe.

In my opinion the car looks just as it should. It is pretty much all original with a real nice non-original interior that looks to have been installed long ago, but still is in nice shape.

It fires up, runs, steers, and brakes as it should. It could use new tires, but they are fine for a town cruiser. It has after market brake drum cooling fins which were a pretty cool oil accessory from back in the day.

Going over the car with a magnet and visual observation the only rust I could find was in the very front of the reveal on the passenger door, and a bit on the lower front cowl. (see pictures) The floor pans, trunk pans and frame are excellent.

It looks to have had all new side glass installed at some point, but the windshield looks original and has some fogging along the bottom.

The main body portion is pretty nice and straight with a few bumps and bruises but all and all pretty nice.

The fender for the most part look presentable but have some repairs in the beads. They are totally workable.

The radiator and grille surround are nice, along with the headlights which have sealed beam conversions.

I have the original "pink slip" title from California in hand.

That's about all I can think of. If you think of anything else I can be reached at 507-456-2957.

If you are looking for a nice, honest, solid Model A here you go. Good Luck Bidding!

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.
