FOR SALE 1930 Ford Model A C-cab Panel Van, $15,000 / OBO
1929 Ford Model A reproduction (1980 Shay Model A). Rare C-cab Panel Van, only 2 or 3 of this model were produced by Shay. This is a replica of a 1930 Model A as far as we can tell.
You can go to www.shayhistory.com to view in-depth details about the Shay Model A.
2.3 liter 4 cylinders, automatic, rack & pinion steering, front disc brakes. 11,847, believed to be actual, miles. Has original front door side curtains. Dual chrome Aoogha Horns need to be restored. The drive train is that of a 1980 Ford, the frame is custom-built for Shay. The body is all fiberglass, except for the engine hood. The original canvas that covered the fiberglass roof has deteriorated from the Arizona sun. It can either be replaced or the roof can be painted the same color as the vehicle when it is repainted. The vehicle will eventually need to be repainted. One of the rear door hinges is broken but the other rear door operates correctly. The side opening panels will need new locking arms but both do open, close and latch. One of the prior owners had installed what appears to be beer keg taps on the side opening panels.
Mechanically the vehicle appears to be sound. It has a new set of tires, new battery & a new master cylinder. All other mechanical components appear to be original. The automatic transmission has a small transmission fluid leak. There are no apparent engine or radiator leaks. The original exhaust pipe will need to be replaced.
The vehicle is fully functional and is being sold “as is”. It is not in show car condition and does need some TLC.
The vehicle has a clean Missouri title and is titled as a 1930 Ford Tudor.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
