1929 RUMBLE SEAT ROADSTER
OK FOLKS, WE'RE RELISTING AGAIN! WE'VE GOT A REALLY NICE MODEL A THAT'S CERTAINLY WORTH THE RESERVE PRICE. PREVIOUS BIDDERS HAVE GOTTEN PRETTY CLOSE AND IT'S CAR SHOW SEASON!
This '29 has been converted to run highway speed!
- I installed a T-5 conversion kit. Now, with the S-10 five speed underneath, this car cruises at 55 miles per hour at about half throttle. The conversion included new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. The parts to reinstall stock transmission are included with sale, but it drives much too well to go back.
I purchased this Model A in 2007, in the time that I've owned it I have replaced:
- NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBERATOR
- NEW TIRES
- IGNITION PARTS INCLUDING DISTRIBUTOR, POINTS, CONDENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR BUTTON, AND CAP
- NEW RADIATOR HOSES AND A LEAKLESS WATER PUMP
- ALSO INCLUDED ARE UNINSTALLED NEW REAR BACKER PLATES, NEW BRAKE PARTS, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PARTS
This car is an older restoration with no rust. The front end is good and tight, it drives very well. The paint has a few rock chips and cracks in the lacquer. There is a bubble on the gas tank where it has been repaired, and the paint didn't stick to the repair very well.

Ford looks to space robots to improve car-to-car communications [w/video]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Ford has partnered with St. Petersburg Polytechnic University for three years to research various kinds of connected vehicle communications. The university tie-up is part of its study of space robots, NASA systems created to enable space-to-Earth communication, and the university's own development of systems that enable communication between the International Space State and Earth.
The objective is for Ford to engineer layers of robust networks and redundancy systems that will allow your car to speak to other cars, to emergency vehicles, to infrastructure like traffic lights and buildings, and to the cloud. Benefits would come in just about every area of transit, from avoiding accidents, to getting medical workers to an accident more quickly, to improving the flow of traffic during rush hour.
Check out the press release below for details on what Ford wants to learn from the JUSTIN Humanoid and NASA Robonaut R2, and a video of technical leader Oleg Gusikhin discussing his interest in the project.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
