1929 Model A Special Coupe, Rumble Seat, Original, Nice Chrome, Runs Great on 2040-cars

This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready. 1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A. This is a rare automobile. Here's why . . . Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s,
but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July
1929. It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one
in such good condition as this. Don’t let this one slip away. She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and
3-speed transmission. It goes down the road straight, shifts
smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford
designed. Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other
companies used. His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you
lose all your brakes. When have you ever seen all four brake rods
fail at the same time on one of my cars?” Smart move. Back
then hydraulics were pretty bad. This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be. Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes. You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe. The interior is in very good condition having
had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no
musty odors or smoke smells. It’s very clean and very well cared
for. The windows roll up and down with
ease. The windshield tilts out. The doors open and close
easily. The top is exceptionally tight with no tears. She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family! Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car. Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show. If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford
Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty –
especially at this price. The reserve is set low for the value of
this 85-year old automobile. A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently
in Hemmings for $35,000. My reserve is set at less than half that. SOME DETAILS:

NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
