1931 Model A Ford Flathead V8


Car was built in 1959 like it is.  I've tried to keep it as close as possible to that.  I have replaced the following: new Coker bias ply tires, all wheel cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, inner and outer rear axel seals, full dual exhaust, magna flow stainless steel mufflers, 6 volt battery.  
Glass is in great condition, all windows roll up & down, doors close nicely.  New roof.  I've added turn signals and right rear tail light for safety.  Still running stock gas tank which has been boiled out.  All factory gages work.  Oil and temperature gage are from a 1957 Jaguar and both work.  Engine is a 1948 Ford flathead, runs strong - pulls 20 inches of vacuum at idle.  Tranny is 1937 Ford 3-speed.  Rear end is stock banjo.  Frame is Stock Model A.  1949 Mercury reversed rims.  1960 Chevy truck master cylinder also has original ansen swing pedals.  All lights and charging system work great.  Stock front seats.  I have front and rear bumpers, spare tire and mount and rear seat upper spring frame - I have lower seat springs, not correct but will go with car anyway.  I also have hood sides.  I've put a super bell 4 inch dropped axle and all tie rod ends, needle bearing, king pins, and pitman arm.  I've also had shocks installed all around.  Steering wheel is 1940 Ford.  Heater fan works.  I've never hooked it up to the engine so I don't know how core is.  I was told it was out of a 1940 Ford.  Brake system is 1948 juice breaks.  There is a little rust on the right rear quarter panel lip and some small pinholes at bottom lip of doors (see pictures).  That is the worst part on the cars body.  The body is tight.  There are no patch panels on this body - what you see is what you get.  Body wood is also in very good condition.   Car is not chopped or channeled.  Front fenders are 50+ year old fiberglass in very good shape.  Rest of car is all original steel.  

Problems:  Steering box needs rebuild.  Car has front wheel wobble at low speed.  The wobble goes away over 30mph.  Transmission pops out of 2nd gear when coming down in high rpm (just started doing this).  There are no other issues with the car.  

I do have some knowledge of cars history as told to me by cars previous owner.  Car is currently registered and inspected.  Car was said to be primer red in the early 60's.  It was grey when built in 1959.  Car was also autographed by Candy Clark from American Graffiti (see pictures).   Car is located in Nazareth, PA if you want to come look.  Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to remove from eBay at any time.  
Any questions please call Don at 917-861-6597.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
