1929 RUMBLE SEAT ROADSTER
OK FOLKS, WE'RE RELISTING AGAIN! WE'VE GOT A REALLY NICE MODEL A THAT'S CERTAINLY WORTH THE RESERVE PRICE. PREVIOUS BIDDERS HAVE GOTTEN PRETTY CLOSE AND IT'S CAR SHOW SEASON!
This '29 has been converted to run highway speed!
- I installed a T-5 conversion kit. Now, with the S-10 five speed underneath, this car cruises at 55 miles per hour at about half throttle. The conversion included new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. The parts to reinstall stock transmission are included with sale, but it drives much too well to go back.
I purchased this Model A in 2007, in the time that I've owned it I have replaced:
- NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBERATOR
- NEW TIRES
- IGNITION PARTS INCLUDING DISTRIBUTOR, POINTS, CONDENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR BUTTON, AND CAP
- NEW RADIATOR HOSES AND A LEAKLESS WATER PUMP
- ALSO INCLUDED ARE UNINSTALLED NEW REAR BACKER PLATES, NEW BRAKE PARTS, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PARTS
This car is an older restoration with no rust. The front end is good and tight, it drives very well. The paint has a few rock chips and cracks in the lacquer. There is a bubble on the gas tank where it has been repaired, and the paint didn't stick to the repair very well.

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Thu, 02 May 2013No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
