1929 Ford Model A Leatherback coupe. This car just OOZES originality and barn find! It has been stored inside since the late 60's. The original title reads 1967, and the license plate is a 1962. The odometer shows 46869 and the vin. is A1092223. The car is very complete with some extra parts (wheels, lights, spark plugs etc..) I have never started the engine but it turns, and has compression. The fuel tank smells clean (probably drained back in the day). Otherwise the engine compartment is all intact and complete. The interior is basically original, complete, but well used! The body is very solid with some dents and dings but no MAJOR rust with the exception of a small area at the bottom of the cowl. All the glass is present with the exception of the driver's window, which is missing. If you look at the photos you will notice some things that probably were pre RAT ROD. Piece of wood repairing a cracked rear quarter window, replacement sealed beam head lamps, roofing tar sealing the old leatherback top, trailer hitch, nails grounding the right hand accessory taillight, and a handy extra handle to lift the rear deck lid. Sorry this old coupe doesn't have a rumble seat instead it has a trunk! The wood framing in the roof area does need some replacement but is all there. All in all this is a VERY SOLID and COMPLETE, BARN FIND Model A. Please Email with any questions. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.
