I do not have the storage capabilities to keep my A protected from the winter this year so here it is!

I bought it as a stalled project from the previous owner.  My plan was to set the body on a Av8 chassis that I have been working on.  Life happens so my plans have been stalled for the time being.

I know Henry made a million of them but ripping apart a fairly complete car is hard for me to do.  I will not say this is a rust free car but the rust [surface rust] looks to be concentrated to the underside of the car.  As you walk around the car there is no apparent rust through on the body.  The paint is very presentable.  The running boards are the only part of the car that I found rust out.  The fenders do have a few bumps and bruises along with a few stress cracks normal for a 84 year old Model A.  The bottoms of the rear fenders were tweaked while being loaded or unloaded off a trailer on one of the trips made to have the car inspected by the MN DMV so the lost title could be reissued.  I do have a clear title for the car issued in 2012.  There is a marking on the title that the title is a bonded title. 

The top had been replaced late in the cars life and looks very nice.

The interior looks to be all there.  It has the rear bench seat and front buckets that are dirty and stained.  I believe all the original pieces for the floor are there.  The glass is all intact but there are some cracks in some of the glass.  The doors open and close like new.

The tires look to have very few miles on them.  They are old and have been sitting and at least one of the tubes has a slow leak so that tire likes to go flat.

The prior owner removed and had the original engine rebuilt and put back in place.  That is where the project stalled.  The radiator and grill shell were never put back into place and the engine was never fired up.  The prior owner had the car since 2002 so that work was completed between then and in 2012 when I purchased the car.  I have never looked into the engine any further because I was not planning on keeping the original chassis for my project.

I will help with your shipping logistics as well as I can.  My schedule is free most any evening [Monday to Saturday] but daytime hours are very limited.  I may be able to assist with delivery within an hour of Minneapolis.

Blue Oval's new Cargo cab-over rig is largest "One Ford" initiative yet

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival

Mon, 19 May 2014

There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
