1929 Ford Model A Totally Professionally Restored on 2040-cars
Hysham, Montana, United States
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. |

A closer look at the 2015 Ford F-150
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Despite having to share Ford's Detroit Auto Show stand with the hot new 2015 Mustang, the brand-new F-150 was arguably an even more important debut. Why? Ford moved some 700,000 examples of its F-Series truck in 2012, making it not only the best-selling pickup truck, but the top-selling vehicle in the US, by a long-shot.
The 2015 F-150 raises the bar for pickup trucks in a big way, with big-time use of aluminum. Because of this, roughly 700 pounds have been removed from the truck's overall weight, making it even more efficient than before, while still offering all of the capability that pickup owners expect. And with a host of engines under the hood, including a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, the 2015 F-150 will surely offer something for everyone.
During the Detroit Auto Show, west coast editor Michael Harley took a closer look at the new F-150, talking to some of the truck's engineers. Have a look at the full video, below.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
