1929 Model A Ford Fordor Leatherback Briggs Body on 2040-cars
Middleville, Michigan, United States
|
This is my "barn find", but I'm just never going to get to it with all the other projects, so it's time to let someone else restore and enjoy the car. I purchased this car in eastern Nebraska from the grandson of the original owner about 30 miles from the town where it was originally sold off the lot. Before I purchased it, it was garage kept for approximately 60 years. The grandson remembers taking trips out to the west coast with his grandparents in this very car. He wasn't 100% sure why it was parked, but my guess is that the engine is just plain worn out. It turns over, but compression seems to be very low. You won't find many originals with the body in this kind of condition. The pictures tell the story, but the wood and the metal are some of the most solid I have ever seen (used to restore these professionally).
Now for the details. This is a very early 1929 Model A Fordor Leatherback with a Briggs body. From what I can tell, everything is there except for the original horn and the radiator cap. As I mentioned, the motor is free and so are all the wheels. The transmission does shift as well. The glass is all original and will need to be replaced. The main wood pieces seem to be very solid. There are bits and pieces of the wood that will need to be replaced (top kit, seat rails, see pics). As you can also see in the pictures there is a little bit of rust in the cowl area and in the floor pan, but this is all an easy repair. I do have a clean title. There is not much more to say that the pictures don't tell. Please contact me with any questions. This is an original car that is 85 years old, so please understand that what you see is what you get. I can only tell you what I have seen from the little that I have played with the car; and I cannot guarantee that I have listed all of the issues that you will run into when you restore this beauty. The bottom line is that this car needs a complete restoration, but it's a great starting point for doing one! There is no warranty, and no return on this vehicle; but I will be happy to answer any questions or provide other pictures upon request. You are also welcome to view the car prior to bidding if you can arrange it. Buyer is responsible for pick up or for arranging transport. Non-refundable deposit of $500 required through PayPal within 3 days of auction end. Remainder must be paid by PayPal or cash prior to or at pick up. |

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
