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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
Ford workers vote to ratify new four-year UAW contract
Sat, Nov 16 2019DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union said on Friday that rank-and-file members at Ford have voted in favor of a new four-year labor contract with the No. 2 U.S. automaker. The UAW will now focus on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the sole remaining Detroit automaker without a new labor contract. Talks with FCA are expected to begin on Monday, a UAW spokesman said. The union said 56.3% of Ford's hourly workers voted to approve the deal, which allowed the company to avoid a strike like the one that cost its larger rival General Motors about $3 billion (GBP2.3 billion). UAW leaders said earlier this month that Ford under the deal agreed to invest more than $6 billion in its U.S. plants, and to create or retain more than 8,500 UAW jobs. The deal also includes pay raises and lump-sum payments over the life of the contract, a pathway to full-time employment for temporary employees and unchanged healthcare coverage. Workers at GM approved a deal in late October that ended a contentious 40-day U.S. strike, the longest automotive labor stoppage since 1970. Detailed terms of the Ford deal — released just a week after GM workers approved their new contract — echoed those agreed to with GM, as the union typically uses the first deal as a template for those that follow. UAW leaders managed contract negotiations with Ford and GM, including the lengthy strike, while struggling with an ongoing federal corruption probe. To date, 10 people have pleaded guilty in connection with the criminal investigation into illegal payoffs. Just last week former UAW vice president and former GM board member Joseph Ashton was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Earlier this month the UAW said that its president, Gary Jones, who had been linked to the ongoing corruption probe, was taking a leave of absence. Rory Gamble, the union's acting head, said last week he will examine every department of the union in response to the spreading federal corruption probe to prevent future misuse of members' dues.
