Up for sale is my 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, runs very well, solid mechanics, original/real Henry Ford steel body and frame and running gear. Engine idles smoothly and strong, mechanical brakes stop the car well, starts right up after the starter is engaged, clutch and transmission are smooth. Car was converted over to 12 volt with the addition of an alternator and 12 volt battery and change in lights. Battery spins starter and after a pull of the choke and retarding the spark, the engine roars to life. After a short warm up it is ready to drive. We have placed a video of the engine at idle and also a short test drive. All 3 forward gears and reverse are fine. All synchros in the transmission are fine. Has the original 21 inch wheels, tires hold air but are weather checked from age. We also have a matching wheel for the spare. Recent new coil and tune up, car is ready to drive. Aoogah horn works. Headlights work but are a bit tempermental. Car can be enjoyed now and then restored at a later date if desired. Title matches the engine number 3997202 and actually says it is a 1928 but it is not an "AR".
Car needs a cosmetic restoration. Paint is of an older restoration with some peeling, crazing and oxidizing. Body panels are solid, lower cowl and areas where fenders meet the body are very solid with no rust or bubbling evident. Doors close well as does the trunk lid. Currently the inner door panels are off the doors and have been placed in the rumble seat area for safe storage. Frame is straight and there is no evidence of any previous accidents. The convertible top irons are missing and will have to be purchased if a convertible top is desired. These are available for $500-$800 depending on where you shop. All parts are available online for the restoration of this vehicle. Numerous parts houses offer about everything that would be needed for a full restoration. If one were to attend the Fall car show at Hershey all necessary items could be purchased at that one location! Car would make a great restoration back to original or hotrod or a ratrod of real Henry steel!
We have placed over 110 photos:

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
