 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.

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]

Wed, Dec 31 2014

UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.

Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?

Sat, Sep 23 2017

If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
