Up for auction is a real nice example of a late 31 Ford Model A rumble seat coupe with the indented firewall. I bought the car from a widow who said it was her husbands main obsession and play thing for the last few years. It was bought as an old restoration that he was improving upon. I loosened the inner panels for inspection and it looks to be extremely solid with the only repairs I could find was in the bottom of the front cowl, that was fixed very nicely with metal or lead, nothing else was found. At some point the car was treated to a frame off, as everything on the undercarriage looks to be rebuilt and detail painted. And a plus is the fact it has been converted to hydraulic brakes that appear to be 46-48 vintage. It has a new battery, 15 inch ford steelies with rings and caps and Firestone tires. The interior is an older redo possibly a Labarron Bonney that is still in nice condition. It has good glass that appears to have a 60's greenish tint. The car has nice bumpers and some of the nicest fenders I have ever seen on one of these. I fired the car up in the shop and it seems to run fine, but with us being in the dead of winter I did no more than drive it around the yard. I think it would be cool as can be with a flathead eight in it, but that's just me. So if you are looking for a nice solid, straight model A coupe that has a great look already, here you go. Good Luck If you have any questions I can be reached at 507-456-2957. P.S. The car has a clear 31 Ford Title. |

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
