 1929 Ford Model A Tudor  *** NO RESERVE***

On Apr-19-14 at 07:14:25 PDT, seller added the following information:

Check out YOUTUBE for videos I made in haste for a previous sell opportunity last summer. Keyword search 'Bonnie Black Beauty' Car is in identical shape driven about a dozen time arond my subdivision and to the local gas station.

A recent inquiry directed to my personal email...

In the video, it sounded like it may be running a little rough going down the hill.

That is engine brake. It is not rough at all. If I had it out of gear, I would have been riding the brakes (trying to make them last)

Is there a miss or any problems with the engine or transmission?

None

Does the engine smoke or use oil?

No 

Has the engine, transmission, or rear end  been rebuilt?

I believe the trans was rebuilt by Dsuban. He built it. I could have you contact him. 

Does it have any oil, water, transmission, fuel, or rearend leaks?

Minor Oil leak. But I know it is typical. It may need a head gasket in the future, but it is fine right now. 

Has the radiator been re-cored or replaced?

New Radiator, but the 29 radiator has performance issues.

 

What are the condition of the brakes?

New, but need adjustment. 

Is the steering tight?

It is fine for me. Not sure what is normal for this car. 

What is the condition of the tires and wheels?

Excellent. Spare tire needs to be replaced however.

What is the condition of the body?

Almost perfectly free of rust, but the running boards need a undercoating.

Does it have any rust, paint chips, paint runs, bondo, ripples, or dents etc.?

Very few. I touched up small chips but really nice.  See some pictures taken during restoration.

Is the paint still shiny and fresh? (It was hard to tell much about it in the video)

I can make it really shine, but I have zero time to work much on it. I bought some 'Black Magic' polish to protect the current shine, but have yet to apply it.

What is the condition of the vinyl top?

I repaired some of it, it is in good condition. 

What is the condition of the chrome/nickel parts?

Everything looks good to me. I would rate all as excellent.

Has the original glass been replaced with safety glass?
Original glass.  1929 was the first car produced with safety glass.

Is the glass in good condition?

Very good condition. No cracks I can see.

Do all of the windows roll up and down as they should?

Yep. Roll perfect.

Does the speedometer, fuel indicator, amp gauge, and wiper motor work as they should?
Yes on the speedometer, fuel gauge, amp meter. I don’t believe it has a wiper motor. 

Has the wiring and electrical components been replaced?

Modern wiring. Not much wiring going on here though.

Is it still 6 volt or has it been converted to 12 volt?

Still 6 volt.

Do all of the lights work properly?

Yes.

Is it missing any body or interior parts?

Interior drivers-side back seat window trim is missing. I would include this missing piece given the car sells above 11k.

Distributor Modern?

Looks like original, but I believe the inner workings upgraded to more reliable components. Works like a charm! I replaced the coil wire that runs to the distributor plate, and points and condenser replaced.

What parts need to be replaced?

None.

When I take it out – people swoon over it. I love to share it. Kids love the Ahooga sound of the horn.  Harley motorcyclist , they love the purity and simplicity of it - they can relate to it as a common man's car that would have been most popular and common during the depression.  Most all  appreciate the fact I did not modify or enhance the look away from what most people bought or could afford in the depression. Memories of this car ring loud for the basic clean look.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a Ford Focus? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max. And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford is preparing to roll out a new version.
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.
