1929 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod -- A Mechanically Modern & Sweet Ride on 2040-cars

Year:1929 Mileage:1600
Location:

Dunbar, Pennsylvania, United States

Dunbar, Pennsylvania, United States

Up for your consideration is a restored 1929 Ford Model A Coupe.  I purchased the car in a local barn and oversaw the restoration from the beginning, 5 years ago.  What you see in this listing are current pictures of the restored car, with the original steel body and frame, fiberglass fenders, a Chevrolet 454 engine, and Turbo 400 automatic transmission.  The car is very sound mechanically & electrically, and modern in many aspects.  No corners were cut.  Electric fuel pump, electric fan, Walker 3 core radiator, 2 catalytic converters, Holley carb (manual choke), HEI Distributor with vacuum advance, power disc brakes (front), drums (rear), powered trunk lid, chromed oil/trannsmission pan, transmission oil cooler, chromed alternator, GM steering column (tilt), Ford 8" rear end, 3:55 locker gear ratio, TOO MUCH TO LIST...  The undercarriage of the car is nice; floors are new...  Exterior-wise, the body was completely stripped and painted tinted orange primer surfacer (Dupont) and cleared; note that there are some chips in the door jamb area.  Car has tinted glass and American Racing rims: 14" in front and 15" in rear.  The only aspect of the car that needs attention is the interior; as you can see in the pictures, a complete interior job is needed. 

This Model A has been babied; it lives in a garage and is equipped with quality parts.  It is a sweet ride that is ready for driving and even showing.  Not to brag, but I have won a number of trophies and turned quite a few heads.  You can get in the car, turn the key, and take a trip in style.  A perfectionist could repaint to their liking and install matching interior, then turn the key and take a trip in style.  Title is clear in hand.  While the actual miles are unknown, it has been 1,600 miles since the rebuild.   The car passed PA inspection. 

The car is located in Dunbar, PA and can be shown by appointment.  Please email any questions.  While I want to sell the car and find it a good home, I do not appreciate low-ballers and tire-kickers.  The parts on this car alone are well worth what I am asking.  Car is sold AS IS; no warranties or returns.  A $500 non-refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of auction close; the remainder is required within 7 days of auction close via cash in hand or cashier's check (the car will not leave until check has cleared).  Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping the car.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
