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. |

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation.
