1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe Hotrod Hotrod Project (traditional) on 2040-cars
Cameron, North Carolina, United States

Great chance to get a traditional hotrod project or restoration and sell the extra parts. This is a 1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe with clean NC title. It is currently non-running and only needs timed, fuel, and battery charged to run again. This was originally a California car, and has only suffered minor rust issues in the lower cowl panels, lower front quarter panels, and very minor on the quarter panel area next to where the rumble seat lid goes. I have started to strip the car of the bad panels: rumble seat lid (still have for patch pieces), rear buggy spring cover, and panel blow rumble seat (new panel included). All glass is intact and trim pieces still there. Water pump was rebuilt in 2011 as I used to drive this around the neighborhood....and does not leak. This is a very very solid Model A, especially for being a soft top car. I have seen hard regular coupes and sedans that are far worse off than this. It has never had the body removed, its never sat in the mud or on the ground. Great for a hotrod, ratrod, gasser, lakester, restoration, or resto-mod. Soft top cars in this condition are not easy to come by.
Traditional hotrod parts included: -The frame is from Riley Automotive in Colorado (they specialize in hot rods). It's their Double Z frame which includes: model A cross-member, adjustable transmission mount with ladderbar mounts, Ford F1 style shock and headlight mounts, vega steering box mount, pan hard mount, and has a front kick up of 4inches in the front and 8inches of kick up in the rear to give you a nice traditional stance. -The front end kit is also from Riley and is sold as the Dry Lake kit. This is a complete front end, all hardware, and all quality pieces. It has the '39 style Lincoln drum brakes (bendix), chassis engineering 4inch drop axle ('32 heavy duty style) with lightening holes. The rest of the parts are Pete & Jakes: front spring, shackles, kingpins, tie rod, panhard bar, steering arms, spindles, hubs (5x5.5), lower shock mounts, and tie rod ends. Also included is a set of split '36 or '37 wishbones that correspond to axle. (over $1900 in parts) -WWII B-25 bomber seats x2 (original) -Chrysler 331 dual quad intake (actual vintage piece) -1955 Chrysler 331 HEMI core, disassembled, complete minus oil pan and original intake manifold, also included are new valve covers with correct stamped "Firepower" and chevy water pump adapter. -WWII bomber oxygen tank (make that 2 now...no space and no need) -will throw in a 330 DeSoto HEMI core also (no space or need for it) -custom made aircraft style seatbelts, 2in wide made to look like 40's/50's military style...these cost me over $350 to have made....DOT approved - Ford F1 steering box, 1940 Ford steering wheel (needs re-boned) and column, Chrysler HEMI to chevy TH-350 transmission adapter and flywheel, *more pictures available (I do check email sites, if sent email address does not come up as clear or seems suspicious I will not send additional pictures) please inquire with further questions |

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
