Up for sale is a perfect candidate for a chop top street rod.this car is a numbers matching 1929 Ford model a tudor.2 doors sedan thats has been apart since 1956.The original owner decided to take apart and restore the vehicle at some point in1955.last registration was in 1955.In 1956 owner passed and family left car to sit for 50+ years in the garage.
The original owner had bought new roof material,5 tires with tubes and liners and a gasket kit.It looks to have all the parts with the exception of most interior panels.The passengers door panels is there and complete and theres a kick panel, so there are templetes for making new panels.There are a few other pieces but where they went, im not sure yet.The car still has some of the original sound deadner that was used back then glued to the inner panels in the back.The front and rear seat frames are real clean,needs 1 spring in the back bottom fixed and new material on all but the underneath of them are clean.The berlap and padding is intacted and probably reusable in the back seat.The streering wheel and column are complete and the wheel only has a couple small hair line cracks that will easily be repairable but the levers,light switch and horn button will probably need rechromed but it all there and everything seems to turn freely.
This car looks incredible for the age and the lack of rust.The doors are clean,both of them open and shut solid all the edges are near if not perfect.The drivers rear fender and lower body section are the only issues on this car.The fender has 3 dime size spots of rust and a small dimple that will mostly hammer out.the body has a spot half inch or less high and 3 maybe 4 inches long were the shock rod rubbed the body but the the metal is solid around the areas that need work.the car will need a new shock rod.the ring gear will also need replaced.i think it was probably the reason it was takin apart,the teeth are hit hard but the starter gear looks good.
The engine looks to all be there along.Short block with pretty clean honable cyclinder walls, head,intake,carb,fan,water pump,oil punp,water tudes,linkages and the original belt,its just apart.rear main bear cap is pulled and looks like it'll need new babit(spelling probably not correct).3 speed tranny looks to be complete with both pedals,bell housing,throw out bearin,clutch disk shifter handle and a nice little black shifter knob.handle may want it rechromed.
The roof still has the original chicken wire with alot of the cotton still intacted.Car has all the originial glass with the regulators.i noticed that one of the springs on 1 regulator was broke.the sunvisor is a pretty rusty looking i think it would recover just fine once its stripped ,prepped and painted.all the wood in this car looks solid.the floors dont look to need anything.the roof has only one nail hole in it where the tack strip was nailed down from the factory and i believe all the tack strip is there.
The 2 wires on the cowl and the harness i found in a box that has 2 wires running threw a tube even look decent.The original door sill plates with the screws taped to them are there.The gas tank even smells fresh,no oder at all of any gas,unscrew the cap and the take the screen out and you can see the tank is clean and the cork floater is still there.The headlight glass is good no cracks look clean and pretty darn clear.the buckets need chromed but they dont have any rust and the wires are still intact, there were left bolted to the bar and the bar was repainted black like some of the frontend parts were painted.Some items in boxes that ive looked at are tail light with bracket an wires,wiper blade,wiring harness,spindles backing plates,drums,shoes, lots of bolts and bearing, linkages,springs.It pretty much looks like a whole car.Tis is an excellent body and frame for a custom street rod.Still has the canvas material they used on the gas tank as an anti rattle for the hood.The hood is also there and the 2 brackets to hold it down.Door handles and window cranks and the chrome rings for behind the handles im guessin,looks to be a map light also.rear view mirror with the screws taped to it.leather straps and brackets with the original screws.Parking brake handle.The rim are good. they need a good cleaning and new paint but their solid.2 on the car are holding air but tires need to be reseated.they were just used to get the car able to roll.Rubber between the gas tank and body still intacted and not cracked up.the window frame and hindges for the front windshield looks good.has the knods inside the cab that holds the frame still and they tightin up and lossin real nice.The hole in the cowl (passengers side)was for a heat tube that runs off the top of the motor which all the piece are still there.
Clean metal inside and out to work with.Super clean.Most everything turns freely.I haven't found anything that is froze up or locked up yet,some worn out bushings and a few engine problems like the ring gear an rear main cap and the front crank pully is all i've found so far.it all just needs cleaned an finished.i've worked on cars thas were 50 yrs newer that werent near this clean.it is a perfect street rod candidate.This car came with the registration slip which was signed and left open.car was sold thew the family once from what i can with a bill of sale that i recieved when i bought the car so that is what it will be sold with a Bill Of Sale and the original registration.
Car is up for sale local and you are welcome to come see it before bidding. send me an email an i'll send you my number if interested.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
