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.

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer 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. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.
