1929 Model A Ford Phaeton on 2040-cars

Year:1929 Mileage:47300
Location:

Howell, Michigan, United States

Howell, Michigan, United States

 You are bidding on a 1929 Ford Phaeton with 47300 actual miles.  Based on the serial number, this is a mid April car.  The first owner put most of the miles on and it was stored up on blocks during the winter.  I bought it from the second owner, a collector that was downsizing.
  It had 39000 miles when I purchased it with the full intent of restoring it for MARC national judging.  Based on the doors fitting perfectly, I do not believe the body has ever been off the frame. It was painted with the wrong material and striped wrong. It is upholstered and topped correctly but with the wrong materials.  It was originally andalusite blue with black belt moldings. I removed the red covering from the kick panels and drivers door and found that it had been glued over the original blue panels.
  The motor is original and still has Ford stamped pistons.  It does have slight rod knock which I was assured, by and old mechanic, would not hurt anything. Just fix it at restoration.
  To my knowledge I have everything needed for the restoration (See noted below):
      Correct windshield wiper, needs restoring.
      Full correct tool kit, except for the correct owners manual. I do have a 1928 for possible trade.
      Original top hold down straps with original buckles.  Were still on the car as purchased.
      No shocks. I do have a set of numbered 1928 shocks and arms (with no pitting) for possible trade.
      Original radiator core. It was plugged and has been disassembled and carefully rodded out.
      Original seamed fuel line.
      Set of NOS Schrader valve stems.
      Used Schrader valve stem covers and caps.
      The radiator and wiring have been changed so I could drive the car on some club outings.  I have the original original, correct, radiator core. It was plugged and has been      disassembled and carefully rodded out. I also have the original wiring.   
       Please contact with any questions  regarding parts and condition that are not clear in the description or pictures

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
