I am selling this 1930 Model A Tudor that I purchased from the heirs of a fellow who had died. I'm inclined to call it "barn fresh" but cannot as some restoration has been done on it. It has very nice sheet metal which makes it a good potential for restoration. You may not have to buy any sheet metal for it, but that is your decision. I, personally, would buy only new running boards/splash aprons for it. I would use all the rest of it - including the extra front passenger fender that I am including with it.

Following are my visual observations of it:

---Hood - nice, but two very small dents on one side which can be filled with body filler. The louvers are nice.

---Fenders - there are none of the "normal" breaks found on most original fenders, that normally require a weld. The drivers front fender, and both rear fenders are solid with some small denting. The passenger side front fender is pretty bad

so I will send another, much nicer fender with the car.

---Cowl - on the drivers side there is some rust out, which you can buy a patch for, or do what I have done, which is cover it with fiberglass (6 years ago-still nice and not noticeable) (see picture). Also 2 holes drilled - antenna??? Passenger

side is good.

---Doors - drivers side is good, no rust thru or holes on bottom. Passenger side has some rust thru on lower outside, but not on door bottom. Can buy patch for it or fix with fiberglass.

---Body - behind doors (both sides) and around the back - looks fine.

---Body frame - this part of a car, if it is rusted out, is difficult to fix. On this car, except for one place (the short 45 degree piece by the clutch pedal), this body frame is strong and looks fine. You can replace this one piece if you wish, but I

don't feel it is necessary as body frame is strong and this piece is covered by the floor mat.

---Gas tank - looks fine.

---Windshield frame - what I can see and feel look fine.

---Glass -- back window and 3 side windows look fine, one side window has a crack in it.

---Windshield - there is some separation between the pieces so it should be replaced, especially with safety glass so one doesn't severely hurt themselves in an accident.

---Roof -- a limb fell on it and dented it..

---Interior wood - Looks like it may have been replaced because it appears solid,, except for the piece over the windshield which perhaps should be replaced. The roof bows and chicken wire in the roof all look good as if they have been

replaced.

---Dash = is complete but rusted. The speedo reads 10,100 miles - original ????

---Floor boards - basically useable and solid, except for the piece in the back seat foot rest, which has a few soft spots which may or may not need replacing.

---Radiator - looks good, in fact it is an ORIGINAL which is unusual to find one still in use - maybe the mileage is correct???

---Radiator shield - very nice.

---Lights - nice buckets but seal beams. All original internal parts are available from vendors (repro parts which are fine). One tail light is present.

---Tires - four (4) NEW tires on the car.

---Horn - one present but not original Model A type.

---Wiper - original vacuum type Model A style.

---Steering wheel - not bad, is restorable.

---Interior moldings --side windows and back window are present.

---Handles - missing one door handle.

---Firewall - decent with couple of extra drilled holes, and larger hole for heater manifold plus one extra approx. 2" hole

---Motor - stuck but complete with generator, starter, water pump, coil, carburetor.. No restoration here that I can see.

---Chassis - complete with differential, tranny, clutch housing, and frame. But no visible restoration done on it.

---Title -none, heirs were unable to locate it.\

---Running Boards - solid, no rust thru, but horizontal parts (that you step on) are welded on plates. This will require

you do drill holes in them for bolts to fasten them to frame braces/ You can still cover these with normal rubber covers

but there would be small bumps in the rubber where the bold heads are.

---Seats - front seat frames present and look okay, rear seat wooden frames also present and look fine. Some springs are present, but I wouldn't use them.

This car is the basis for a nice restoration because the sheet metal is in such good condition. The mechanical parts are such that

a "Sunday mechanic" can do much of his own work, especially with the number of restore/repair manuals available.

THERE IS NO TITLE TO THIS CAR. THE HEIRS OF THE OWNER COULD NOT LOCATE IT. I HAD TO FILL IN THE TITLE BLANK IN ORDER TO LIST IT. IN MY PERSONAL PAST, I HAVE HAD A TITLE CREATED FOR A CAR I HAD PURCHASED, SO I KNOW IT CAN BE READILY DONE. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FACT DETRACT FROM YOUR PURCHASE OF THIS CAR, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A TITLE CREATED. I wanted to put "No title" in the title spot, but it wasn't allowed.

Weekly Recap: GM posts solid profits, not looking for partners

Sat, Apr 25 2015

General Motors is not looking for partners. It's big enough already. So says CEO Mary Barra, who shot down overtures from outspoken Fiat-Chrysler chief Sergio Marchionne this week. Barra said GM will look to find scale within its operations, rather than through outside partners. "We think there's tremendous opportunity for us within the business as we look at efficiency measures, as we look at truly achieving the scale that we should have, because we're already in that top tier of the auto industry among the largest OEMs," she said. Barra added: "We have a very well-articulated plan. We're in the middle of executing that, and we're not going to entertain anything that might distract us from accomplishing that." Her remarks came in the wake of Marchionne's provocative comments in March. He expects a wave of industry consolidation and said he's open to teaming with Ford or GM, calling it "technically feasible." Because of its smaller size, FCA would likely stand to gain more from a partnership than GM or Ford. The Blue Oval isn't interested in teaming with Fiat-Chrysler, either. "We have no other plan or interest then to continue to accelerate our One Ford plan, deliver product excellence and drive innovation in every part of our business," a spokesperson said. GM, the largest US automaker, announced a $945-million first-quarter profit on Thursday and posted its best earnings performance in North America since 2009. Earlier in the week, GM confirmed it had sold 2.4 million vehicles around the world in the quarter, ranking behind Toyota (2.52 million) and Volkswagen (2.49 million). Other News & Notes SUVs, EVs shine at Shanghai Motor Show SUVs and electric vehicles grabbed the spotlight at the Shanghai Motor Show this week as companies vied for attention in the world's largest car market. Notably, Honda's Concept D previewed the company's future flagship SUV that's being developed for China, Mercedes rolled out a BMW X4-fighting GLC Coupe concept and Chinese company Qoros debuted its 2 plug-in SUV concept. Nissan, Volvo and several others also showcased utility vehicles in Shanghai. Automakers are rushing to take advantage of the crossover craze in China. The market for locally-produced SUVs grew 50 percent in the first quarter, according to IHS Automotive research, which called the show a "launch pad" for new utility vehicles. Even though SUVs are popular, IHS predicts their growth rate will slow, and sedans account for more sales volume in China.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
