I do not have the storage capabilities to keep my A protected from the winter this year so here it is!

I bought it as a stalled project from the previous owner.  My plan was to set the body on a Av8 chassis that I have been working on.  Life happens so my plans have been stalled for the time being.

I know Henry made a million of them but ripping apart a fairly complete car is hard for me to do.  I will not say this is a rust free car but the rust [surface rust] looks to be concentrated to the underside of the car.  As you walk around the car there is no apparent rust through on the body.  The paint is very presentable.  The running boards are the only part of the car that I found rust out.  The fenders do have a few bumps and bruises along with a few stress cracks normal for a 84 year old Model A.  The bottoms of the rear fenders were tweaked while being loaded or unloaded off a trailer on one of the trips made to have the car inspected by the MN DMV so the lost title could be reissued.  I do have a clear title for the car issued in 2012.  There is a marking on the title that the title is a bonded title. 

The top had been replaced late in the cars life and looks very nice.

The interior looks to be all there.  It has the rear bench seat and front buckets that are dirty and stained.  I believe all the original pieces for the floor are there.  The glass is all intact but there are some cracks in some of the glass.  The doors open and close like new.

The tires look to have very few miles on them.  They are old and have been sitting and at least one of the tubes has a slow leak so that tire likes to go flat.

The prior owner removed and had the original engine rebuilt and put back in place.  That is where the project stalled.  The radiator and grill shell were never put back into place and the engine was never fired up.  The prior owner had the car since 2002 so that work was completed between then and in 2012 when I purchased the car.  I have never looked into the engine any further because I was not planning on keeping the original chassis for my project.

I will help with your shipping logistics as well as I can.  My schedule is free most any evening [Monday to Saturday] but daytime hours are very limited.  I may be able to assist with delivery within an hour of Minneapolis.

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.

2015 Ford S-Max adds all-wheel drive, adaptive steering

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Blue Oval's 'One Ford' mantra has seen rapid commonization of the automaker's products across markets, but North America still has to look from afar at most of the company's Max-branded people movers, including this new S-Max. That's a bit of a shame - we like the space efficiency and above-average driving dynamics of the C-Max models we do get, but seeing this updated seven-seat small minivan makes us want the One Ford initiative to extend even further.
The new model's changes include an updated powertrain range including a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four with 158 horsepower, and a larger, 237-horsepower, 2.0-liter model, along with a pair of revised lower-emissions 2.0-liter diesels. The big news, however, is the advent of available all-wheel drive, something that hasn't been offered since the S-Max first went on sale back in 2006.
On the technology front, the S-Max is the first European model to receive Ford Adaptive Steering, a variable-ratio technology we recently sampled in a prototype Fusion that is expected to go into production on the next-generation Edge. The S-Max also receives a new aluminum-intensive integral link rear suspension, packaged to continue to fit up to 32 different seating combinations. Safety equipment is always a prime concern in kinschleppers like the S-Max, and to that end, this new model receives pre-collision assist technology and LED headlamps.

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
