1929 Ford Model A 4 Door “Murray” Town Sedan. This car is beautiful. See for yourself. It is not perfect, however it garners attention everywhere it goes. This car was completely frame off restored approximately 6 years ago. Mileage is listed as 1000, however this is simply because eBay would not let me leave it blank or NA. I have no idea how many miles are on the car, but I would estimate less than 1000. It was driven for a couple of years then stored. Since that time, it has been has been brought back to life. Fuel system completely cleaned and rebuilt. Engine removed and re-sealed. Cooling system completely flushed and cleaned. This car has fantastic detail. The interior looks like new, complete with rear shades. Seats show no sign of wear. Carpet is like new. All windows and doors work properly. Bumpers are like new. The undercarriage is as clean and detailed as the top of the car. The engine is a touring engine, balanced and powerful (for a stock 1929 Model A engine). The car drives very nice. Transmission is tight and brakes are like new. Exhaust is stock with the Model A muffler, and it sounds like a Model A should. At idle you can retard the timing and hear each cylinder fire. I have driven the car less than 200 miles.

The only issue with this car is the paint is showing some age (hurricane or whiskey bumps, depending on where you live). See the pictures. It still shines very nice, but there are some issues under the paint. The black is fine and looks like it is new. The green is where the issues are. See the pictures. This is not noticeable until you are very close to the car. From just a few feet away it is hardly noticeable. With proper paint, this would be a $30K+ ’29 Model A. But then you would be afraid to drive it, thinking that someone would put a ding in it, or a rock chip or bug. This car demands attention when going down the road and with the touring engine, you can enjoy driving it, and going on tours, it has plenty of power. There is a $25K “Buy It Now” price on this car. Reserve is slightly lower. Inspections are welcomed. If you are in the Houston area and would like to see the car in person, contact me (through eBay).

If you bid and win the car, this is a binding contract. Title is clear and immediately available. The vehicle is sold As-Is, Where-Is with no warranty implied and a clear title. I have represented the car to the best of my ability and knowledge. A $500 non-refundable deposit through PayPal within 2 days of auction end is required for this transaction. The balance is payable in cash or with Certified Bank Funds within 7 days of auction end. Check must clear my bank. Title will be transferred upon receipt of funds. The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & cost. Seller can deliver depending on agreed price between seller and buyer, ask for a quote. We’ll be happy to store the car for a short period of time. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally and this vehicle will not be sold overseas.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
