1930 170B Model A Ford Fordor Blind Back 2-Window Project
I have a project that originated from a barn in White Earth, North Dakota (the original owners). I picked up this Model A as the second owner and it is now registered and titled in Arizona to the VIN on the frame. I even have a restored 1930 Arizona Mohave County license plate on it, which can go with the vehicle if you want it. The 1930 Ford Model A 170B two-window blind back is actually a very rare version of the vehicle. It still has an original eyebrow fender, which is only found on 1930 models produced before February. The original VIN on the frame indicates that the engine was produced in November 1929, which is typical for the Model As, as there was usually an 8 to 10 week period between engine production and complete assembly. There are also other indicators of an early 1930 Model A, besides the eyebrow fender (which is rare in itself), as some of the original hardware is from the 1929 style (such as the door handles). Again, this was typical as they would run the existing stock out at the end of the year before they moved to using the new stocks. This vehicle was in a fire at some point in its past and there is a bullet hole in it, which you may want to keep for conversational purposes... The vehicle is complete and almost everything to restore it can be purchased new from a number of suppliers (such as MACs Antique Auto Parts). The fenders will need some work, and might need to be replaced, depending on how much effort you want to put into them. We were just going to replace them and have a friend do the metal work on the fender for the original eyebrow style. The vehicle is currently in two pieces, as we were about to begin the restoration and have just not had the time or the money to continue it. The following is a list of additional parts for the vehicle.
Call Mandy for appointment to see it or with any questions at nine28 two7nine 2one3nine We are willing to assist in loading. This item is listed in multiple venues, so it is possible that it may be sold prior to the ending of this listing. |

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
