I do not have the storage capabilities to keep my A protected from the winter this year so here it is!

I bought it as a stalled project from the previous owner.  My plan was to set the body on a Av8 chassis that I have been working on.  Life happens so my plans have been stalled for the time being.

I know Henry made a million of them but ripping apart a fairly complete car is hard for me to do.  I will not say this is a rust free car but the rust [surface rust] looks to be concentrated to the underside of the car.  As you walk around the car there is no apparent rust through on the body.  The paint is very presentable.  The running boards are the only part of the car that I found rust out.  The fenders do have a few bumps and bruises along with a few stress cracks normal for a 84 year old Model A.  The bottoms of the rear fenders were tweaked while being loaded or unloaded off a trailer on one of the trips made to have the car inspected by the MN DMV so the lost title could be reissued.  I do have a clear title for the car issued in 2012.  There is a marking on the title that the title is a bonded title. 

The top had been replaced late in the cars life and looks very nice.

The interior looks to be all there.  It has the rear bench seat and front buckets that are dirty and stained.  I believe all the original pieces for the floor are there.  The glass is all intact but there are some cracks in some of the glass.  The doors open and close like new.

The tires look to have very few miles on them.  They are old and have been sitting and at least one of the tubes has a slow leak so that tire likes to go flat.

The prior owner removed and had the original engine rebuilt and put back in place.  That is where the project stalled.  The radiator and grill shell were never put back into place and the engine was never fired up.  The prior owner had the car since 2002 so that work was completed between then and in 2012 when I purchased the car.  I have never looked into the engine any further because I was not planning on keeping the original chassis for my project.

I will help with your shipping logistics as well as I can.  My schedule is free most any evening [Monday to Saturday] but daytime hours are very limited.  I may be able to assist with delivery within an hour of Minneapolis.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car

Thu, Jan 29 2015

As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.
