Hi, I’m selling my fully restored 1929 Model A Ford because
it is time to downsize. This car was my
late wife’s favorite (she named it Harrison Ford) and she often drove it in
parades and for Sunday drives. I bought it in 2000 for $6000 and over the next
six years spent $71,000 having it restored by a professional (paperwork
included in sale). I wanted a dependable
driving car. First the car was stripped to the frame and the frame
straightened and trued, then the following were replaced: the fenders,
headlights, correct cloth covered wiring (with a fuse added for protection),
headlight bar, radiator, radiator shell, radiator rock protector, running
boards, roof, roof oak supports, bumpers, tail lights (another light added to
rear fender), safety windshield and door glass, upholstery (leBaron Bonney), new
wood floor, hot water fed heater installed, new instruments, new steering
wheel, new shocks, new brakes, new heavy, duty cast-iron brake drums, brake
floaters, tires, tubes, wheels, lug nuts, transmission rebuilt with
synchronized second and third gears, rear end rebuilt with higher gearing,
hood, gas tank cleaned and resealed, Weber downdraft carburetor, new headers,
new exhaust, electric fuel pump, new fan, fuel filter, leak-less water pump,
new alternator, battery, headlamp bulbs are halogen, electronic ignition,
engine (1930) rebuilt by previous owner but I had the restoration mechanic tear
it down to check it, steering pitman arm shortened, added noise suppression
installed, plate underneath the car to keep the passenger’s legs from feeling
exhaust heat, new steering gear (so my wife could easily steer it), turn
signals added, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature gauges added,
battery cutoff switch installed. I left
it a six-volt system but it could easily be changed over to 12-volts, new windshield
wiper (electric). The car was painted to match original paint and the pin
stripping was done by hand. I guess it is easier to say that just about the
only thing on this car that is original to 1929 is the metal body. The insurance company told me that it could
be classified as a hot rod. It starts easily,
and runs well. It will easily go faster
than 60 but with the large wheels and high center of gravity I keep it at 50 to
55. It will stop quickly and could be a daily driver. I think you could drive this car for long
distances if you wanted. It doesn’t overheat in a hot July parade. The doors
close perfectly and it has door locks. It
has seatbelts, wind wings. Well, there’s not much more I could have done to it
except switch it over to a 12-volt system. It does have some minor paint chips and flaws because I live
on a ranch a mile and a half from a blacktop road. It is kept in a heated garage and never
driven if there is a cloud in the sky. I have a logbook with it. It looks like a stock, beautiful, 1929 car
but it is dependable and basically trouble free. A leather-covered trunk comes with it and the
little American flags so you can drive it in the July 4th parade – I
always do. If you are looking for a car that you can spend many happy hours
beating out dents in the fenders or if you like rewrapping the water pump with
string on the way to Sunday lunch while your wife gives you the “ray”, or you
enjoy the smell of gas dripping from a 1929 carburetor, then this car is NOT
for you. I will be happy to answer any
questions. I could deliver it for expenses
within 500 miles or so of Hysham, Montana.
I have put 3430 miles on it since its restoration was completed in 2006.
You can call me at 406-679-1016. I am not interested in trades. |

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford
Thu, 16 Oct 2014The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
Ford recalling 2015 Mustang for fuel line leak, 20K Transit Connects for plastic panel
Fri, Dec 5 2014Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below. Ford Issues Safety Recall for Certain 2015 Mustang Vehicles in North America for Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue Dec 4, 2014 | DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 730 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America (actual 728) for a potential fuel line leak. A fuel pressure sensor, which is part of the fuel supply tube assembly, may have been installed incorrectly, potentially resulting in a pressurized fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Ford is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Ford Mustangs equipped with 2.3-liter engines built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Sept. 25, 2014 to Oct. 9, 2014. Ford is aware of 712 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 16 in Canada. These totals are as of Dec. 3, 2014.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Weekly Recap: Diesel scandal continues to fuel VW's woes
Sat, Oct 3 2015Volkswagen's woes continued this week when it was delisted from the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and stripped of awards. Senators are also lining up to advocate for criminal and civil action against the automaker, and its consumer reputation is in tatters. Put simply, it's been another rough period for VW. Despite this, the company eked out a sales gain of less than one percent in September, though that was well behind the overall market's performance. Sister brand Audi, which sells a diesel A3, was less affected, posting a 16-percent gain in September. Revelations that Volkswagen rigged millions of diesel-powered cars around the world didn't surface until September 18, so the full sales impact of the ongoing scandal won't likely be felt until October. Meanwhile, VW's image continues to take a beating, and an AutoPacific survey found only one in 14 vehicle owners have a positive opinion of the company. Before the scandal broke, three-quarters of respondents had a positive view of VW. The survey also found 64 percent don't trust Volkswagen, though the same number believe other companies are or may also be using cheating devices to pass emissions tests. "The reputation of diesels has been severely damaged, at least for the short term," Ed Kim, AutoPacific's vice president of industry analysis, said in a statement. Despite the lingering malaise, experts believe VW will recover, just as Toyota and General Motors eventually emerged from their own high-profile controversies. "Consumers have proven through numerous recalls that they are resilient and quickly return to their buying habits," Kim said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Mazda to reveal sports car concept in Tokyo Mazda will bring a curvy sports car concept to the Tokyo Motor Show in October. The automaker is being especially coy with the details, only releasing the dark teaser shot that you see to the right and a cryptic statement that suggests the concept "condense[s] Mazda's entire history of sports-car development into a single model." Immediately, speculation abounded this is an RX-7 and RX-8 successor, though Mazda didn't specify what engine the concept will have. Reportedly, the company is still working on rotary engines. Mazda will have a Cosmo Sport 110S on its stand in Tokyo, which pioneered rotary technology in 1967. Read into that what you will.
