1929 RUMBLE SEAT ROADSTER
This '29 has been converted to run highway speed!
- I installed a T-5 conversion kit. Now, with the S-10 five speed underneath, this car cruises at 55 miles per hour at about half throttle. The conversion included new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. The parts to reinstall stock transmission are included with sale, but it drives much too well to go back.
I purchased this Model A in 2007, in the time that I've owned it I have replaced:
- NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBERATOR
- NEW TIRES
- IGNITION PARTS INCLUDING DISTRIBUTOR, POINTS, CONDENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR BUTTON, AND CAP
- NEW RADIATOR HOSES AND A LEAKLESS WATER PUMP
- ALSO INCLUDED ARE UNINSTALLED NEW REAR BACKER PLATES, NEW BRAKE PARTS, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PARTS
This car is an older restoration with no rust. The front end is good and tight, it drives very well. The paint has a few rock chips and cracks in the lacquer. There is a bubble on the gas tank where it has been repaired, and the paint didn't stick to the repair very well.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.
Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.
