1929 Ford Model A 4 Door Town Sedan on 2040-cars
Worth, Missouri, United States
1929 Model A 4 Door Town Sedan. While looking for a hot rod project, I ran across this Model A in January of 2008. The car was in a "Barn" where it had been parked since the owners passing. I purchased the car from his 88 year old Widow. Since the car was so complete I didn't have the heart to do anything but restore it. A local Model A/T enthusiast helped me get it running. I had trouble with it overheating, I had the head checked, installed a new head gasket, installed a new water pump that looks original without the need to adjust packing, still having problems, I ordered a new replacement radiator from "Snyder's"... PROBLEM SOLVED! I then proceeded to "Juice" the brakes where I ran all over the country side to swap meets finding the parts so I could maintain its original integrity. I have only made mechanical upgrades/improvements. With the exception of the wheels (which were orange) the interior and exterior is how I found the car. It is not a perfect show car, but is a fun show and parade car that I have driven (not hauled) as far as 150 miles to show or just to drive. I drove it approximately 80 miles on May 4th, 2014. It has a couple of mouse holes in the passenger front seat as shown. Paint has a few chips. It might puff a little smoke on a long hard uphill pull, All and all a pretty good old car. Young and old alike love to see and hear you drive by! Any Questions call 660-448-2708. $500.00 down payment. Buyer responsible for shipping. 85 Year Old Car AS IS.

On May-13-14 at 06:37:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Speedometer/odometer does not work. |

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Fri, 18 Apr 2014In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners
Fri, Dec 2 2016Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:
