Hi, I’m selling my fully restored 1929 Model A Ford because it is time to downsize.   This car was my late wife’s favorite (she named it Harrison Ford) and she often drove it in parades and for Sunday drives. I bought it in 2000 for $6000 and over the next six years spent $71,000 having it restored by a professional (paperwork included in sale).  I wanted a dependable driving car. 

 

First the car was stripped to the frame and the frame straightened and trued, then the following were replaced: the fenders, headlights, correct cloth covered wiring (with a fuse added for protection), headlight bar, radiator, radiator shell, radiator rock protector, running boards, roof, roof oak supports, bumpers, tail lights (another light added to rear fender), safety windshield and door glass, upholstery (leBaron Bonney), new wood floor, hot water fed heater installed, new instruments, new steering wheel, new shocks, new brakes, new heavy, duty cast-iron brake drums, brake floaters, tires, tubes, wheels, lug nuts, transmission rebuilt with synchronized second and third gears, rear end rebuilt with higher gearing, hood, gas tank cleaned and resealed, Weber downdraft carburetor, new headers, new exhaust, electric fuel pump, new fan, fuel filter, leak-less water pump, new alternator, battery, headlamp bulbs are halogen, electronic ignition, engine (1930) rebuilt by previous owner but I had the restoration mechanic tear it down to check it, steering pitman arm shortened, added noise suppression installed, plate underneath the car to keep the passenger’s legs from feeling exhaust heat, new steering gear (so my wife could easily steer it), turn signals added, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature gauges added, battery cutoff switch installed.  I left it a six-volt system but it could easily be changed over to 12-volts, new windshield wiper (electric). The car was painted to match original paint and the pin stripping was done by hand. I guess it is easier to say that just about the only thing on this car that is original to 1929 is the metal body.  The insurance company told me that it could be classified as a hot rod.  It starts easily, and runs well.  It will easily go faster than 60 but with the large wheels and high center of gravity I keep it at 50 to 55. It will stop quickly and could be a daily driver.  I think you could drive this car for long distances if you wanted. It doesn’t overheat in a hot July parade. The doors close perfectly and it has door locks.  It has seatbelts, wind wings.  Well, there’s not much more I could have done to it except switch it over to a 12-volt system.  

 

It does have some minor paint chips and flaws because I live on a ranch a mile and a half from a blacktop road.  It is kept in a heated garage and never driven if there is a cloud in the sky. I have a logbook with it.  It looks like a stock, beautiful, 1929 car but it is dependable and basically trouble free.  A leather-covered trunk comes with it and the little American flags so you can drive it in the July 4th parade – I always do. If you are looking for a car that you can spend many happy hours beating out dents in the fenders or if you like rewrapping the water pump with string on the way to Sunday lunch while your wife gives you the “ray”, or you enjoy the smell of gas dripping from a 1929 carburetor, then this car is NOT for you.  I will be happy to answer any questions.  I could deliver it for expenses within 500 miles or so of Hysham, Montana.  I have put 3430 miles on it since its restoration was completed in 2006. You can call me at 406-679-1016. I am not interested in trades.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
