Model A Ford Coupe, 1930, Period Hot Rod Modern Style on 2040-cars
Rapid City, South Dakota, United States

1930 Model A Ford coupe, hot rod modern style. This car was restored by an older gentleman in or around 1994. I purchased the car from another fellow who purchased the car from the estate. I was going to make a period correct hot rod out of it but after owning it for awhile, just couldn't bring myself to take off the fenders, splash aprons, running boards ect. It would look pretty cool with them off and perhaps a 32 grill and shell added to the front, but I'll let the new owner be the judge. I had the engine completely rebuilt by Antique Engine Rebuilding out of Skokie, Ill. It has all the good stuff, line bored, inserts, bronze thrust washers, stainless valves ect. It also has a new 6:0 Snyders high compression head installed at the time of rebuild. It also has the Weber downdraft intake and carb along with a new set of Red's headers. It now has all kinds of power (an additional 25-27 horse) so it is running around 65-67 horsepower. I will list all the new parts which are; Rebuilt engine Weber carb and intake Reds headers float-a-motor, front and rear new alternator new leak-less water pump with stainless shaft new style fan and hub rebuilt starter with new bendix drive new coil modern style points,cap, and wiring new set of gauges, oil and water new battery carrier temp probe pipe new red hot muffler and tail-pipe new hoses new brake drums and new shoes on the front with other new brake parts, brakes work very good. new tires with Firestone style tread, new tubes and liners new modern style shocks from Snyders, the good kind. new switch along with many other new parts. I have all receipts. All of the above done with-in the last few months. This would be a great car to tour in or just go for a Sunday drive in smart fashion, fun to open the hood and show off the carb and headers!! It is for sale in the 48 States only, no warranties except the engine builder has told me he would stand behind the engine for an amount of time to be certain it has no problems which it doesn't. Along with the engine rebuild, the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and the pilot bearing were replaced.The transmission has been rebuilt and shifts like a dream, headlights, tail-lights and brake lights work, fuel gauge works fine, just a great little car. I am getting to old to get into and out of this car as I am 6-3 and 245lbs. The price is somewhat negotiable thanks for looking! any questions 605-791-1497 |

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
