Up for sale is a perfect candidate for a chop top street rod.this car is a numbers matching 1929 Ford model a tudor.2 doors sedan thats has been apart since 1956.The original owner decided to take apart and restore the vehicle at some point in1955.last registration was in 1955.In 1956 owner passed and family left car to sit for 50+ years in the garage.
The original owner had bought new roof material,5 tires with tubes and liners and a gasket kit.It looks to have all the parts with the exception of most interior panels.The passengers door panels is there and complete and theres a kick panel, so there are templetes for making new panels.There are a few other pieces but where they went, im not sure yet.The car still has some of the original sound deadner that was used back then glued to the inner panels in the back.The front and rear seat frames are real clean,needs 1 spring in the back bottom fixed and new material on all but the underneath of them are clean.The berlap and padding is intacted and probably reusable in the back seat.The streering wheel and column are complete and the wheel only has a couple small hair line cracks that will easily be repairable but the levers,light switch and horn button will probably need rechromed but it all there and everything seems to turn freely.
This car looks incredible for the age and the lack of rust.The doors are clean,both of them open and shut solid all the edges are near if not perfect.The drivers rear fender and lower body section are the only issues on this car.The fender has 3 dime size spots of rust and a small dimple that will mostly hammer out.the body has a spot half inch or less high and 3 maybe 4 inches long were the shock rod rubbed the body but the the metal is solid around the areas that need work.the car will need a new shock rod.the ring gear will also need replaced.i think it was probably the reason it was takin apart,the teeth are hit hard but the starter gear looks good.
The engine looks to all be there along.Short block with pretty clean honable cyclinder walls, head,intake,carb,fan,water pump,oil punp,water tudes,linkages and the original belt,its just apart.rear main bear cap is pulled and looks like it'll need new babit(spelling probably not correct).3 speed tranny looks to be complete with both pedals,bell housing,throw out bearin,clutch disk shifter handle and a nice little black shifter knob.handle may want it rechromed.
The roof still has the original chicken wire with alot of the cotton still intacted.Car has all the originial glass with the regulators.i noticed that one of the springs on 1 regulator was broke.the sunvisor is a pretty rusty looking i think it would recover just fine once its stripped ,prepped and painted.all the wood in this car looks solid.the floors dont look to need anything.the roof has only one nail hole in it where the tack strip was nailed down from the factory and i believe all the tack strip is there.
The 2 wires on the cowl and the harness i found in a box that has 2 wires running threw a tube even look decent.The original door sill plates with the screws taped to them are there.The gas tank even smells fresh,no oder at all of any gas,unscrew the cap and the take the screen out and you can see the tank is clean and the cork floater is still there.The headlight glass is good no cracks look clean and pretty darn clear.the buckets need chromed but they dont have any rust and the wires are still intact, there were left bolted to the bar and the bar was repainted black like some of the frontend parts were painted.Some items in boxes that ive looked at are tail light with bracket an wires,wiper blade,wiring harness,spindles backing plates,drums,shoes, lots of bolts and bearing, linkages,springs.It pretty much looks like a whole car.Tis is an excellent body and frame for a custom street rod.Still has the canvas material they used on the gas tank as an anti rattle for the hood.The hood is also there and the 2 brackets to hold it down.Door handles and window cranks and the chrome rings for behind the handles im guessin,looks to be a map light also.rear view mirror with the screws taped to it.leather straps and brackets with the original screws.Parking brake handle.The rim are good. they need a good cleaning and new paint but their solid.2 on the car are holding air but tires need to be reseated.they were just used to get the car able to roll.Rubber between the gas tank and body still intacted and not cracked up.the window frame and hindges for the front windshield looks good.has the knods inside the cab that holds the frame still and they tightin up and lossin real nice.The hole in the cowl (passengers side)was for a heat tube that runs off the top of the motor which all the piece are still there.
Clean metal inside and out to work with.Super clean.Most everything turns freely.I haven't found anything that is froze up or locked up yet,some worn out bushings and a few engine problems like the ring gear an rear main cap and the front crank pully is all i've found so far.it all just needs cleaned an finished.i've worked on cars thas were 50 yrs newer that werent near this clean.it is a perfect street rod candidate.This car came with the registration slip which was signed and left open.car was sold thew the family once from what i can with a bill of sale that i recieved when i bought the car so that is what it will be sold with a Bill Of Sale and the original registration.
Car is up for sale local and you are welcome to come see it before bidding. send me an email an i'll send you my number if interested.

Major automakers post mixed US June sales figures
Mon, Jul 3 2017General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV posted declines in US new vehicle sales for June on Monday, while major Japanese automakers reported stronger figures. Once again, demand for pickup trucks and crossovers offset a decline in sedan sales. Automakers' shares rose as overall industry sales still came in above Wall Street expectations. The US auto industry is bracing for a downturn after hitting a record 17.55 million new vehicles sold in 2016. Analysts had predicted that overall, US vehicle sales would fall in June for the fourth consecutive month. As the market has shown signs of cooling, automakers have hiked discounts and loosened lending terms. Car shopping website Edmunds said on Monday the average length of a car loan reached an all-time high of 69.3 months in June. "It's financially risky, leaving borrowers exposed to being upside down on their vehicles for a large chunk of their loans," said Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' executive director of industry analysis. GM said its sales fell about 5 percent versus June 2016, but that the industry would see stronger sales in the second half of 2017 versus the first half. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." GM shares were up 2.4 percent in morning trading, while Ford rose 3.3 percent and FCA shares jumped 6 percent. "US total sales are moderating due to an industry-wide pullback in daily rental sales, but key US economic fundamentals clearly remain positive," said GM chief economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "Under the current economic conditions, we anticipate US retail vehicle sales will remain strong for the foreseeable future." Ford said its sales for June were hit by lower fleet sales to rental agencies, businesses, and government entities, which fell 13.9 percent, while sales to consumers were flat. But it sold a record 406,464 SUVs in the first half of the year, with Explorer sales increasing 23 percent in June. And sales of the F-150 had their strongest June since 2001. On a media call, Ford executives said an initial read of automakers' sales figures indicated a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of around 17 million new vehicles for the month, which would be better than 16.6 million units analysts had predicted. FCA said June sales decreased 7 percent versus the same month a year earlier.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
