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.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.

Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
