Up for sale is a perfect candidate for a chop top street rod.this car is a numbers matching 1929 Ford model a tudor.2 doors sedan thats has been apart since 1956.The original owner decided to take apart and restore the vehicle at some point in1955.last registration was in 1955.In 1956 owner passed and family left car to sit for 50+ years in the garage.

The original owner had bought new roof material,5 tires with tubes and liners and a gasket kit.It looks to have all the parts with the exception of most interior panels.The passengers door panels is there and complete and theres a kick panel, so there are templetes for making new panels.There are a few other pieces but where they went, im not sure yet.The car still has some of the original sound deadner that was used back then glued to the inner panels in the back.The front and rear seat frames are real clean,needs 1 spring in the back bottom fixed and new material on all but the underneath of them are clean.The berlap and padding is intacted and probably reusable in the back seat.The streering wheel and column are complete and the wheel only has a couple small hair line cracks that will easily be  repairable but the levers,light switch and horn button will probably need rechromed but it all there and everything seems to turn freely.

This car looks incredible for the age and the lack of rust.The doors are clean,both of them open and shut solid all the edges are near if not perfect.The drivers rear fender and lower body section are the only issues on this car.The fender has 3 dime size spots of rust and a small dimple that will mostly hammer out.the body has a spot half inch or less high and 3 maybe 4 inches long were the shock rod rubbed the body but the the metal is solid around the areas that need work.the car will need a new shock rod.the ring gear will also need replaced.i think it was probably the reason it was takin apart,the teeth are hit hard but the starter gear looks good.

The engine looks to all be there along.Short block with pretty clean honable cyclinder walls, head,intake,carb,fan,water pump,oil punp,water tudes,linkages and the original belt,its just apart.rear main bear cap is pulled and looks like it'll need new babit(spelling probably not correct).3 speed tranny looks to be complete with both pedals,bell housing,throw out bearin,clutch disk shifter handle and a nice little black shifter knob.handle may want it rechromed.

The roof still has the original chicken wire with alot of the cotton still intacted.Car has all the originial glass with the regulators.i noticed that one of the springs on 1 regulator was broke.the sunvisor is a pretty rusty looking i think it would recover just fine once its stripped ,prepped and painted.all the wood in this car looks solid.the floors dont look to need anything.the roof has only one nail hole in it where the tack strip was nailed down from the factory and i believe all the tack strip is there.

The 2 wires on the cowl and the harness i found in a box that has 2 wires running threw a tube even look decent.The original door sill plates with the screws taped to them are there.The gas tank even smells fresh,no oder at all of any gas,unscrew the cap and the take the screen out and you can see the tank is clean and the cork floater is still there.The headlight glass is good no cracks look clean and pretty darn clear.the buckets need chromed but they dont have any rust and the wires are still intact, there were left bolted to the bar and the bar was repainted black like some of the frontend parts were painted.Some items in boxes that ive looked at are tail light with bracket an wires,wiper blade,wiring harness,spindles backing plates,drums,shoes, lots of bolts and bearing, linkages,springs.It pretty much looks like a whole car.Tis is an excellent body and frame for a custom street rod.Still has the canvas material they used on the gas tank as an anti rattle for the hood.The hood is also there and the 2 brackets to hold it down.Door handles and window cranks and the chrome rings for behind the handles im guessin,looks to be a map light also.rear view mirror with the screws taped to it.leather straps and brackets with the original screws.Parking brake handle.The rim are good. they need a good cleaning and new paint but their solid.2 on the car are holding air but tires need to be reseated.they were just used to get the car able to roll.Rubber between the gas tank and body still intacted and not cracked up.the window frame and hindges for the front windshield looks good.has the knods inside the cab that holds the frame still and they tightin up and lossin real nice.The hole in the cowl (passengers side)was for a heat tube that runs off the top of the motor which all the piece are still there.

Clean metal inside and out to work with.Super clean.Most everything turns freely.I haven't found anything that is froze up or locked up yet,some worn out bushings and a few engine problems like the ring gear an rear main cap and the front crank pully is all i've found so far.it all just needs cleaned an finished.i've worked on cars thas were 50 yrs newer that werent near this clean.it is a perfect street rod candidate.This car came with the registration slip which was signed and left open.car was sold thew the family once from what i can with a bill of sale that  i recieved when i bought the car so that is what it will be sold with a Bill Of Sale and the original registration.

Car is up for sale local and you are welcome to come see it before bidding. send me an email an i'll send you my number if interested.

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
