Up for sale is my 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, runs very well, solid mechanics, original/real Henry Ford steel body and frame and running gear. Engine idles smoothly and strong, mechanical brakes stop the car well, starts right up after the starter is engaged, clutch and transmission are smooth. Car was converted over to 12 volt with the addition of an alternator and 12 volt battery and change in lights. Battery spins starter and after a pull of the choke and retarding  the spark, the engine roars to life. After a short warm up it is ready to drive. We have placed a video of the engine at idle and also a short test drive. All 3 forward gears and reverse are fine. All synchros in the transmission are fine. Has the original 21 inch wheels, tires hold air but are weather checked from age. We also have a matching wheel for the spare. Recent new coil and tune up, car  is ready to drive. Aoogah horn works. Headlights work but are a bit tempermental. Car can be enjoyed now and then restored at a later date if desired. Title matches the engine number 3997202 and actually says it is a 1928 but it is not an "AR".

Car needs a cosmetic restoration. Paint is of an older restoration with some peeling, crazing and oxidizing. Body panels are solid, lower cowl and areas where fenders meet the body are very solid with no rust or bubbling evident. Doors close well as does the trunk lid. Currently the inner door panels are off the doors and have been placed in the rumble seat area for safe storage. Frame is straight and there is no evidence of any previous accidents. The convertible top irons are missing and will have to be purchased if a convertible top is desired. These are available for $500-$800 depending on where you shop. All parts are available online for the restoration of this vehicle. Numerous parts houses offer about everything that would be needed for a full restoration. If one were to attend the Fall car show at Hershey all necessary items could be purchased at that one location! Car would make a great restoration back to original or hotrod or a ratrod of real Henry steel!

We have placed over 110 photos:

Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
