 1929 Ford Model A Tudor  *** NO RESERVE***

On Apr-19-14 at 07:14:25 PDT, seller added the following information:

Check out YOUTUBE for videos I made in haste for a previous sell opportunity last summer. Keyword search 'Bonnie Black Beauty' Car is in identical shape driven about a dozen time arond my subdivision and to the local gas station.

A recent inquiry directed to my personal email...

In the video, it sounded like it may be running a little rough going down the hill.

That is engine brake. It is not rough at all. If I had it out of gear, I would have been riding the brakes (trying to make them last)

Is there a miss or any problems with the engine or transmission?

None

Does the engine smoke or use oil?

No 

Has the engine, transmission, or rear end  been rebuilt?

I believe the trans was rebuilt by Dsuban. He built it. I could have you contact him. 

Does it have any oil, water, transmission, fuel, or rearend leaks?

Minor Oil leak. But I know it is typical. It may need a head gasket in the future, but it is fine right now. 

Has the radiator been re-cored or replaced?

New Radiator, but the 29 radiator has performance issues.

 

What are the condition of the brakes?

New, but need adjustment. 

Is the steering tight?

It is fine for me. Not sure what is normal for this car. 

What is the condition of the tires and wheels?

Excellent. Spare tire needs to be replaced however.

What is the condition of the body?

Almost perfectly free of rust, but the running boards need a undercoating.

Does it have any rust, paint chips, paint runs, bondo, ripples, or dents etc.?

Very few. I touched up small chips but really nice.  See some pictures taken during restoration.

Is the paint still shiny and fresh? (It was hard to tell much about it in the video)

I can make it really shine, but I have zero time to work much on it. I bought some 'Black Magic' polish to protect the current shine, but have yet to apply it.

What is the condition of the vinyl top?

I repaired some of it, it is in good condition. 

What is the condition of the chrome/nickel parts?

Everything looks good to me. I would rate all as excellent.

Has the original glass been replaced with safety glass?
Original glass.  1929 was the first car produced with safety glass.

Is the glass in good condition?

Very good condition. No cracks I can see.

Do all of the windows roll up and down as they should?

Yep. Roll perfect.

Does the speedometer, fuel indicator, amp gauge, and wiper motor work as they should?
Yes on the speedometer, fuel gauge, amp meter. I don’t believe it has a wiper motor. 

Has the wiring and electrical components been replaced?

Modern wiring. Not much wiring going on here though.

Is it still 6 volt or has it been converted to 12 volt?

Still 6 volt.

Do all of the lights work properly?

Yes.

Is it missing any body or interior parts?

Interior drivers-side back seat window trim is missing. I would include this missing piece given the car sells above 11k.

Distributor Modern?

Looks like original, but I believe the inner workings upgraded to more reliable components. Works like a charm! I replaced the coil wire that runs to the distributor plate, and points and condenser replaced.

What parts need to be replaced?

None.

When I take it out – people swoon over it. I love to share it. Kids love the Ahooga sound of the horn.  Harley motorcyclist , they love the purity and simplicity of it - they can relate to it as a common man's car that would have been most popular and common during the depression.  Most all  appreciate the fact I did not modify or enhance the look away from what most people bought or could afford in the depression. Memories of this car ring loud for the basic clean look.

2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2019 Ram 1500 vs. 2018 Ford F-150: How they compare

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The full-size pickup truck market is seriously hot right now. Both Ram and Chevrolet have introduced completely redesigned trucks, the 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2019 Chevy Silverado, and as the companies slowly roll each one out, more and more information comes to light. We've put together this comparison post to help you keep track of all the features and specifications of each of these new models, along with the updated 2018 Ford F-150. Among the stats we'll take a look at are engines, power, fuel economy, trim levels, weight and more. Weight savings Both the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 have gone on a diet for the new model year, similar to the one the F-150 went on in 2015. The Silverado is the weight-loss leader, having shed 450 pounds when comparing quad-cab V8 models. The Ram 1500 lost 225 pounds compared to the current truck. Both trucks achieve their weight loss in part due to the use of aluminum parts. On the Silverado, the hood, doors, and tailgate are aluminum, while on the Ram, just the hood and tailgate are aluminum on the body. Compare that to the F-150, which uses aluminum for all exterior body panels for a total weight loss of up to 732 pounds, which makes the aluminum-intensive F-150 the weight-loss leader. View 160 Photos Engines and transmissions There's only a bit of overlap in powertrains on the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. Each has a V8 for the top engine. The Ram's is a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 making 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The Silverado will once again use a 6.2-liter V8 as its range topper with the same 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque as the current model. Both of these V8s boast some extra fuel saving technology. The Chevy's 6.2-liter (and some 5.3-liters) comes with the company's latest cylinder deactivation system that can shut off any or nearly all of the eight cylinders. The Ram's V8 boasts an optional 48-volt mild-hybrid system that, in addition to likely helping fuel economy, can provide up to 130 pound-feet of torque right off the line. With the Ram, fuel economy sees an improvement of 2 mpg in the city and combined ratings for 17 and 19 respectively. Highway fuel economy improves by 1 mpg to 23 with two-wheel drive and 22 with four-wheel drive. The Silverado's 6.2-liter V8 only improves city fuel economy by 1 mpg to 16, and actually loses 1 mpg on the highway. The new 5.3-liter engine with the fancy cylinder deactivation does see an improvement over the simpler version.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
