Up for sale is my 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, runs very well, solid mechanics, original/real Henry Ford steel body and frame and running gear. Engine idles smoothly and strong, mechanical brakes stop the car well, starts right up after the starter is engaged, clutch and transmission are smooth. Car was converted over to 12 volt with the addition of an alternator and 12 volt battery and change in lights. Battery spins starter and after a pull of the choke and retarding the spark, the engine roars to life. After a short warm up it is ready to drive. We have placed a video of the engine at idle and also a short test drive. All 3 forward gears and reverse are fine. All synchros in the transmission are fine. Has the original 21 inch wheels, tires hold air but are weather checked from age. We also have a matching wheel for the spare. Recent new coil and tune up, car is ready to drive. Aoogah horn works. Headlights work but are a bit tempermental. Car can be enjoyed now and then restored at a later date if desired. Title matches the engine number 3997202 and actually says it is a 1928 but it is not an "AR".
Car needs a cosmetic restoration. Paint is of an older restoration with some peeling, crazing and oxidizing. Body panels are solid, lower cowl and areas where fenders meet the body are very solid with no rust or bubbling evident. Doors close well as does the trunk lid. Currently the inner door panels are off the doors and have been placed in the rumble seat area for safe storage. Frame is straight and there is no evidence of any previous accidents. The convertible top irons are missing and will have to be purchased if a convertible top is desired. These are available for $500-$800 depending on where you shop. All parts are available online for the restoration of this vehicle. Numerous parts houses offer about everything that would be needed for a full restoration. If one were to attend the Fall car show at Hershey all necessary items could be purchased at that one location! Car would make a great restoration back to original or hotrod or a ratrod of real Henry steel!
We have placed over 110 photos:

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too.

Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
