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 GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Shelby Super Snake returns with 750+ horsepower

Tue, Jun 16 2015

If you've been waiting for the ne plus ultra of new Mustangs, we're glad to report that the wait is over, friend. Feast your eyes on the new Shelby Super Snake. Based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT, the new Super Snake is being offered with over 750 horsepower thanks in no small part to a Ford Performance supercharger. That's even more than the 605 hp in the last Super Snake released in 2007, the new 627-hp Shelby GT, or the 500-plus-hp Shelby GT350 you can order from the factory. Shelby American's latest also packs upgraded Ford Performance suspension components, a Borla exhaust, 20-inch wheels from Weld Racing and coated in Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber, six-piston Wilwood brakes, and more. Differentiating it visually from lesser pony cars are a carbon-fiber hood and aero kit, blacked-out grille, racing stripes, and special badging inside and out. Inside you'll also find a short-throw shifter and three-gauge instrument pod. The upgrades will set you back $49,995 on top of the price of a donor Mustang GT, and only 300 examples will be built this year. For the first time the Super Snake will be available with either a manual or (heaven forbid) an automatic transmission.

Additionally, it will be the first Shelby Super Snake also available with an automatic transmission. There will only be 300 total 2015 model year Shelby Super Snakes built. "When Shelby American introduced the 605 horsepower Super Snake in 2007, the car became an instant sensation," said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American and co-CEO of Carroll Shelby International.

2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.
