This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready.


1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A.


This is a rare automobile.  Here's why . . .


Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s, but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July 1929.  It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one in such good condition as this.  Don’t let this one slip away.


She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and 3-speed transmission.  It goes down the road straight, shifts smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford designed.  Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other companies used.  His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you lose all your brakes.  When have you ever seen all four brake rods fail at the same time on one of my cars?”  Smart move.  Back then hydraulics were pretty bad.

This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be.  Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes.  You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe.

The interior is in very good condition having had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no musty odors or smoke smells.  It’s very clean and very well cared for.

The windows roll up and down with ease.  The windshield tilts out.  The doors open and close easily.

The top is exceptionally tight with no tears.

She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family!  Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car.  Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show.

If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty – especially at this price.  The reserve is set low for the value of this 85-year old automobile.  A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently in Hemmings for $35,000.  My reserve is set at less than half that.

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
