This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready.


1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A.


This is a rare automobile.  Here's why . . .


Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s, but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July 1929.  It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one in such good condition as this.  Don’t let this one slip away.


She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and 3-speed transmission.  It goes down the road straight, shifts smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford designed.  Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other companies used.  His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you lose all your brakes.  When have you ever seen all four brake rods fail at the same time on one of my cars?”  Smart move.  Back then hydraulics were pretty bad.

This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be.  Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes.  You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe.

The interior is in very good condition having had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no musty odors or smoke smells.  It’s very clean and very well cared for.

The windows roll up and down with ease.  The windshield tilts out.  The doors open and close easily.

The top is exceptionally tight with no tears.

She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family!  Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car.  Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show.

If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty – especially at this price.  The reserve is set low for the value of this 85-year old automobile.  A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently in Hemmings for $35,000.  My reserve is set at less than half that.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
