For Sale is a 1929 Ford Model A Pickup Truck. Engine does not run but turns freely. I purchased this truck from the previous owner's son. His father had begun to do a complete restoration in the late 1990's and was not able to complete it prior to his death. The truck was running and driven prior to him starting the restoration. The truck had been stored in a barn in Grafton North Dakota till I purchased it in July 2012. It has been stored in my garage since I purchased it.

The truck is 95% complete and comes with many extra parts. I purchased a new" top roof and cab wood kit"(both still in the boxes), along with a new wiring harness and new set of floor boards. There is also a new muffler and a good used one that will go with the truck. There are some missing items that still need to be purchased (ignition switch,hoses,back glass etc). The generator and starter are included but will probably need rebuilt. The front windshield and passenger glass are broken but intact. the driver's window roles up and seems fine. There is rust on the frame and body as expected for a vehicle of this age. There are rust holes in both side kick panels and in the inside front of the driver's side bed. Overall solid truck. The side splash aprons are included(not shown on truck but are pictured). I purchased an extra used pair that will go with the truck . The bed wood is gone but I have put plywood in the bottom to hold extra parts. The seat cushions don't appear to be the correct ones but those are the ones that came with it. There are 2 sets of extra wire wheels . 1 set that fit's the 28-29 years and 1 set that fits the 30-31 years. There are also extra parts that are shown in the pictures. The steering wheel is not mounted but can be very easily. I am selling the truck because I have too many projects and this one is way down on the list. Truck comes with a clear North Dakota title. Vehicle is for local pick up only. Truck is located in Tucson Arizona. Truck Sold AS IS . No Warranty

I also have a rebuilt flathead 4 cylinder engine that would fit this truck . It does not go with the Truck but is available to purchase separately if desired. Please email with questions or concerns. A $500.00 deposit is due at the end of the auction. Payment in full is due when vehicle is picked up. Thanks for looking

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
