Morganton, North Carolina, United States
1929 Ford Model A Phaeton Very Cool Car for sale here with a great story behind it. This is an all original steel body and fenders that was purchased from an 88 yr old man back in 2003. He purchased the car in Nov. of 1954 and drove it home and parked it in his shed. The car sat there since as he started tearing it down to restore it. We have a lamenated copy of the title from when he purchased it where he never titled it in his name because he didnt wanna pay taxes on the car. Anyways the paint is the same color as it was when he purchased it. The fenders were took off and painted with a satin black. The car has a new interior, top and side curtains. New wiring harness from EZ wiring and new dolphin gauges as well. This car is very solid with no patch panels anywhere. It has very little rust and the little that it does have can be seen in the pics and the video that I made on the car. Chassis: The frame on the car has been fully boxed and painted with POR-15 Paint. It has a new superbell 4'' drop axle with a super glide spring, shocks and unisteer rack and pinion steering. Has 40's style brakes on the front and a Ford bronco rear end that has been 4-linked with QA1 coilovers. New tires all the way around even the spares on both sides are new. Here is a link for the video of a walk around on the car and the engine running. *https Engine: Has a 305 chevy engine with a 700R trans and a Lokar 23'' shifter. It has a New walker radiator as well. This has been my dads hot rod for a while now but we have to many projects sitting around and need to move on to some others. When it was built he wanted a 60's style hot rod look. This car runs and drives great and has been taken on several 3+ hour long trips to rod runs in TN etc. It has been a great car and has never let us down or left us stranded. We have calculated the fuel mileage on these trips and it gets 19.5 MPG. It cruises great down the interstate at 70 mph with no problems. This car isn't cut up anywhere. This car has a clean and clear NC title in my dads name. It is also being sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. If anyone has any questions about the car we will be glad to answer them. I have tried to describe the car to the best of my ability. No trades we just want to sell the car.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
