I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up. I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod. The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC. The rest of the truck was build in CT. The truck is all steel. All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed. The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs. It also has tuned headers. It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back. The exhausts are new. It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. It has coil over shocks on the back. The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent. It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread. I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works. Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment. The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it. Still using the original ignition switch. Have installed a correct steering wheel. The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine. The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look. The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper. I have very recently added the cowl lights. The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine. I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night. The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better. There is an instrument panel overhead. It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer. In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player. All the metal is good. Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust. The battery is in the yellow "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed. All the electronics work. There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel. The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there. The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head. Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console. Each windshield wiper has its own switch. The door handles are original. They pull "to you" to open the doors. There is an electric heater under the seat. It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed. It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good. It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it. (I don't.) A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides. It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can. If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information. Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.
