1931 Model "A" Roadster with rumble seat & twin fender mounted spares.  The body is a new Brookville replica made from steel, no fiberglass anywhere.  All fenders, aprons, running boards, rumble lid and aprons are new reproduction.  The only original body part is the gas tank which was vatted and coated.  There is no old metal in the car. No filler or patches.....  the chassis was stripped, blasted and painted.  Every nut and bolts was restored and/or rebuilt to like new condition.  I built this car for myself and wanted it to be completely trustworthy for touring but health issues have arisen and the car needs a new home.  The engine has a complete rebuild, new babbitt and all internal parts.  It runs perfectly.  It is all stock except for a 3:54 ring & pinion higher speed rearend ratio.  Still 6 volt with a generator.  The entire brake system was rebuilt with new parts.  It stops great. New L/B top and interior + rumble seat area.  All the seat spring are new as well.  The paint is single stage PPG.  New WWW tires and new tubes.  The wind-wings are deep cut & polished etching.  I have driven the car 240 miles and it purrs.  No problems.  It is ready for the open road.  It has a tool box in front and on the rear.   It is as solid as any you will ever find.  I have restored a lot of Model A's and won the Dallas MAFC Car of the Year Award in 2004 for a restored Cabriolet.  This car would be another strong contender in that event as well.   If you are looking for a really good car to drive, this is sure worth a close look.  I will send photos, videos and answer your questions honestly.  Check my feedback over the past 15 years.  Every buyer has said nice things and many still communicate or send Christmas cards.  Clear Title.  Make a reasonable offer.  I don't hear well so if I miss your ring I will sure call back.  903-360-7116.  

The small car is a 6 volt electric Power Wheel model that can be driven by a small child or towed with the tow-bar in parades.  The car and charger are free to the buyer if desired.  Grandkids love the small car and at parades and car shows it is the main attraction.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
