I have for sale a 1929 Model A Ford coupe. I inherited this Model A from my brother in the 90's. He had taken the car almost completely apart and had started to rebuild the engine when he passed away. It has been stored in a San Francisco garage ever since he purchased it back in the 80's. He had acquired the Model A from an individual in the North Bay of San Francisco. According to the assembly serial number the car was assembled in San Francisco. I had thought that when I retired I would start working on it. Well I am semi-retired now and realize that I have just too many other things I want to do and have decided to sell it. Unfortunately my brother did not label the parts and through the years they have gotten mixed up. I have spent several days trying to figure out where things are and where they go by looking through Model A parts catalogs. I have some knowledge on cars, but none on the Model A except for what I have seen in the catalogs. I have taken lots of pictures trying to group them in categories hoping that it would be easier to see what's there as well as the condition of the body and parts. Ebay only allows an upload of 24 pictures. I had taken at least 70. I have uploaded all the pictures to a web site so if you want to see them all send me your email and I will have them sent to you. I believe that I took all the parts pictures except for a box of nuts, bolts,washers, and other small items. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. The car is stored an hour from where I live and I don't go there every day. So it may take a couple of days to respond to your question if I have to drive to San Francisco to find an answer.

The following are parts that I know are missing...engine head, one front leaf spring, one shock, main drive gear bearing retainer, amperage gauge, throttle shaft, ignition switch, engine splash pan, amp gauge, and muffler.

Parts that I know of that are broken...pedal shaft, rear tire bracket, front fender brace, flywheel housing has a crack in it that has been welded also there seems to be a chunk of metal that was cut out of it, and rear bumper arm.

Parts that were bought new in the 80's, rebated connecting rods, adjustable lifters, values and value springs, crankshaft was worked on, cluster gear assembly, cluster shaft and bearings, oil pump assembly, water pump assembly, fly wheel gear, 6 rim liners, radiator (looks new, maybe rebuilt?, I assume it is the right one, it measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide by 27 inches from the top of the filler to the bottom of the radiator. There is a tag on the radiator which reads, Bay Radiator Service #043097. There is a Bay Radiator Service in San Francisco.

There are six 30 spoke wheels that measure 2 1/2 inches wide from bead to bead and approximately 21 inches high from inside beads.

The assembly number which is on the front cross beam just in front of the front seat holder is SFA14559. This is the serial number that is on the Certificate of Title as the Vehicle ID number.

The serial number that is stamped on the frame just after the first body hole on the left side is partially readable due to rust and pitting. I know it is a star followed by A23349 then it looks like maybe a 4 and possibly another number with another star at the end.

It may not be evident on the photos, but the front of frame on left side is slightly bent in, right door crease/indentation on bottom, extra set of head lights different than what's on the leadlight bar, dent on bottom of left rear fender under license plate holder.

The body is just sitting on the frame. There are no bolts holding it together.

Payment... $250 deposit due within 3 days of close of auction; if not I reserve the right to relist the vehicle.The remainder is due within 7 days of close of auction. If payment is made by cashiers check or money order they will have to clear before the car can be removed. CAR AND ALL PARTS MUST BE REMOVED BY MARCH 18th otherwise a storage of fee of $50 a day will be required.

Now for some legal items....This 1929 Ford 2 door coupe is being sold as is, where there is no warranty expressed, written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuiness or defects herein. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle and all its parts. Seller has done the best to describe this vehicle.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.

Ford gets colorful with Mustang anniversary infographic

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Preparing to celebrate its 50th birthday, the Ford Mustang has seen a lot of vehicle trends come and go, and this especially goes for paint colors. Using historical production data, Ford has managed to create an infographic dating back to 1967 that breaks down the three top Mustang colors for each year as well as calling out some of the more interesting trends and colors over the years.
Over its five generations, the Mustang has been offered in a seemingly endless rainbow - from Playboy Pink in '67 and color-changing Mystichrome on the 2004 Cobra - but the most popular has always been red, which is the color of choice for 21 percent of all Mustangs ever made. Almost every year since 1967, red has been among the top three colors for the Mustang, but other popular colors have included blue, white, brown and, most recently, black. There are even websites and registries available for people owning certain-color Mustangs.
As the all-new 2015 Mustang gets ready for its debut later this year, there's no telling what kind of exciting and/or wacky colors Ford has in store. Click on the image above to see the full infographic (choose the "large" option for optimal viewing), or check it out in a smaller size along with the press release posted below.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
