I have just recently taken my '29 Ford out of a 3 year storage. It turns over fine but has no spark. At the time I parked it, it was running. I put an additive in the gas tank, removed the battery, and it sat in my heated garage until yesterday. I have owned this truck for 10 years. Before that a friend owned it for 18 years. My friend told me when he bought it that the motor had just been rebuilt and the body work had just been completed and painted. I do not have any documentation on any repairs.
The interior, vinyl top, bed of the truck and the body of the cab is in good shape. The passenger door has a rough spot near the bottom, from an amateur body man. The four fenders are rough, no rust but probably some body filler before it was painted approx. 30 years ago. The hood has some paint chipping where it swivels when opening and a couple of minor dings. The running boards are in good shape. The windshield opens and closes as it should.
When the truck was running it idled fine and didn't smoke. The transmission shifted ok but worked perfectly if you double clutched it when you downshifted.
The truck has always been stored in a heated garage, the tires were new about 5 years ago, they now have about 200 miles on them.
The lights all work, the horn works, the only gauge that doesn't work is the gas gauge.
There is a small leak in the radiator, not sure where, but every once in awhile it would leak.
I have tried to describe this truck as well as possible, a reserve has been set and it is being sold "as is"with no warranty. A $ 500.00 non-refundable deposit is required with-in 24 hours of winning this bid
to be paid thru Paypal. and the remainder to be paid within 7 days. All money will clear the bank before releasing the vehicle.
Shipping of the vehicle is the buyers responsibility, I can help with the loading, and I can provide storage of the vehicle for up to 30 days after the sale.
I am located in N.W. Michigan, if you wish to see the truck or have any questions after looking at the pictures, just e-mail me.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
