Hi, I’m selling my fully restored 1929 Model A Ford because it is time to downsize.   This car was my late wife’s favorite (she named it Harrison Ford) and she often drove it in parades and for Sunday drives. I bought it in 2000 for $6000 and over the next six years spent $71,000 having it restored by a professional (paperwork included in sale).  I wanted a dependable driving car. 

 

First the car was stripped to the frame and the frame straightened and trued, then the following were replaced: the fenders, headlights, correct cloth covered wiring (with a fuse added for protection), headlight bar, radiator, radiator shell, radiator rock protector, running boards, roof, roof oak supports, bumpers, tail lights (another light added to rear fender), safety windshield and door glass, upholstery (leBaron Bonney), new wood floor, hot water fed heater installed, new instruments, new steering wheel, new shocks, new brakes, new heavy, duty cast-iron brake drums, brake floaters, tires, tubes, wheels, lug nuts, transmission rebuilt with synchronized second and third gears, rear end rebuilt with higher gearing, hood, gas tank cleaned and resealed, Weber downdraft carburetor, new headers, new exhaust, electric fuel pump, new fan, fuel filter, leak-less water pump, new alternator, battery, headlamp bulbs are halogen, electronic ignition, engine (1930) rebuilt by previous owner but I had the restoration mechanic tear it down to check it, steering pitman arm shortened, added noise suppression installed, plate underneath the car to keep the passenger’s legs from feeling exhaust heat, new steering gear (so my wife could easily steer it), turn signals added, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature gauges added, battery cutoff switch installed.  I left it a six-volt system but it could easily be changed over to 12-volts, new windshield wiper (electric). The car was painted to match original paint and the pin stripping was done by hand. I guess it is easier to say that just about the only thing on this car that is original to 1929 is the metal body.  The insurance company told me that it could be classified as a hot rod.  It starts easily, and runs well.  It will easily go faster than 60 but with the large wheels and high center of gravity I keep it at 50 to 55. It will stop quickly and could be a daily driver.  I think you could drive this car for long distances if you wanted. It doesn’t overheat in a hot July parade. The doors close perfectly and it has door locks.  It has seatbelts, wind wings.  Well, there’s not much more I could have done to it except switch it over to a 12-volt system.  

 

It does have some minor paint chips and flaws because I live on a ranch a mile and a half from a blacktop road.  It is kept in a heated garage and never driven if there is a cloud in the sky. I have a logbook with it.  It looks like a stock, beautiful, 1929 car but it is dependable and basically trouble free.  A leather-covered trunk comes with it and the little American flags so you can drive it in the July 4th parade – I always do. If you are looking for a car that you can spend many happy hours beating out dents in the fenders or if you like rewrapping the water pump with string on the way to Sunday lunch while your wife gives you the “ray”, or you enjoy the smell of gas dripping from a 1929 carburetor, then this car is NOT for you.  I will be happy to answer any questions.  I could deliver it for expenses within 500 miles or so of Hysham, Montana.  I have put 3430 miles on it since its restoration was completed in 2006. You can call me at 406-679-1016. I am not interested in trades.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
