1929 Ford Model A Coupe Street Rod -- A Mechanically Modern & Sweet Ride on 2040-cars
Dunbar, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for your consideration is a restored 1929 Ford Model A Coupe. I purchased the car in a local barn and oversaw the restoration from the beginning, 5 years ago. What you see in this listing are current pictures of the restored car, with the original steel body and frame, fiberglass fenders, a Chevrolet 454 engine, and Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The car is very sound mechanically & electrically, and modern in many aspects. No corners were cut. Electric fuel pump, electric fan, Walker 3 core radiator, 2 catalytic converters, Holley carb (manual choke), HEI Distributor with vacuum advance, power disc brakes (front), drums (rear), powered trunk lid, chromed oil/trannsmission pan, transmission oil cooler, chromed alternator, GM steering column (tilt), Ford 8" rear end, 3:55 locker gear ratio, TOO MUCH TO LIST... The undercarriage of the car is nice; floors are new... Exterior-wise, the body was completely stripped and painted tinted orange primer surfacer (Dupont) and cleared; note that there are some chips in the door jamb area. Car has tinted glass and American Racing rims: 14" in front and 15" in rear. The only aspect of the car that needs attention is the interior; as you can see in the pictures, a complete interior job is needed.
This Model A has been babied; it lives in a garage and is equipped with quality parts. It is a sweet ride that is ready for driving and even showing. Not to brag, but I have won a number of trophies and turned quite a few heads. You can get in the car, turn the key, and take a trip in style. A perfectionist could repaint to their liking and install matching interior, then turn the key and take a trip in style. Title is clear in hand. While the actual miles are unknown, it has been 1,600 miles since the rebuild. The car passed PA inspection. The car is located in Dunbar, PA and can be shown by appointment. Please email any questions. While I want to sell the car and find it a good home, I do not appreciate low-ballers and tire-kickers. The parts on this car alone are well worth what I am asking. Car is sold AS IS; no warranties or returns. A $500 non-refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of auction close; the remainder is required within 7 days of auction close via cash in hand or cashier's check (the car will not leave until check has cleared). Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping the car. |

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver
Mon, 28 Oct 2013Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.
Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting
Tue, 13 May 2014It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
