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 Mustang Shelby GT350R-C set to storm Watkins Glen

Wed, Jun 24 2015

Ford is bringing its latest high-performance Mustang back to the track with the new 2016 GT350R-C, which will debut and race in this weekend's IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Watkins Glen. The spiritual successor to the Boss 302R that's still taking part in the Continental Tire series today, the first GT350R-C will be campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports. It's had its fully independent suspension completely revised for the track, and it gets everything from new spring rates to new anti-roll bars to a lowered ride height. Like the road-going GT350, a 5.2-liter, flat-plane-crank V8 sits under the hood, although Ford didn't release any specifics on power output. In fact, details are in short supply. We're expecting some sort of sequential racing transmission, wildly enhanced brakes, and a thoroughly race-prepared cabin, although Ford hasn't released any info on that stuff. The Blue Oval also hasn't said anything about the aerodynamic package, but strangely, it looks more or less like what's featured on the standard GT350R. The front fascia and rear wing are pretty much identical, and even the side sills seem roughly similar to the production model. "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race," Ford's director of global performance, Dave Pericak, said in the attached press release. "We're taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we're ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world." Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. And if you're so inclined, you can check out the GT350R-C's debut race this weekend at IMSA.com, with coverage starting at 12:25 P.M. If you prefer normal TV, Fox Sports 1 will get around to re-broadcasting the race on July 5 at 10:00 A.M.
