Here we have a 1929 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Roadster fresh from a barn in northern Illinois. I was told it came from there originally when new and I am fourth owner. I was told by seller that he would get me names and information on original owner, but that hasn't happened. I bought it with a bill of sale and will give one to the new buyer/owner. As you can see by the pictures this car is in very restorable condition. It runs, and drives, radiator overflow tube is leaking, it runs very well, no smoke. Transmission shifts as it should. Clutch is smooth. Has recent 6 volt battery, and new floor boards and plates from Brattons. There is no glass in the windshield frame. Looks like panel under rumble seat lid has been replaced with newer style tail light panel, but is metal. Brakes in the front work, no brake rods to the back axle. Selling due to health reasons. There is no title. Sold with bill of sale only. Sold as is where is so please ask any questions before bidding.
Not sure of actual mileage, can look at odometer, if anyone is curious, I think the gas gauge was working, not positive.
Headlights and tail lights are not wired, do have a box of extras that go with the car.
I am located in central Illinois, just east of Bloomington/Normal. My number is 309 724-8071, if no answer you can leave a message, I will return your call.

Thanks for looking

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
Mustang Cobra Jet prototype garners $200k for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Wed, 02 Oct 2013A few weeks ago we brought you news of a one-off Mustang Cobra Jet that Ford was donating to charity. The car was set to be auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Now that auction has taken place, bringing in an impressive $200,000 for MS research.
That's a lot of zeros for a Mustang, much less one you can't even drive on the street. But the unique pony car, bearing serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1, packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, competition gearbox, wheelie bar, roll cage... all you could want, in short, in a turn-key drag racer. And all that for a good cause.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
