This is an extremely nice, restoration of a 1929 Model A Town Sedan Fordor. It looks like new, the day it was driven out of the factory, with a couple of modern improvements, such as an alternator (which can be removed if the buyer wishes, and a push button starter, which also can be removed if the buyer wishes. And the tail lights are LED which is the better, modern version - which are in the original mountings and look like original.

It is for sale, reluctantly, because the seller has some physical issues which don't allow him to, easily, drive a standard transmission. The restoration of the car came before these physical issues arose. I am not the owner, but he is a good friend of mine.

---Electrical - all new wiring

---Tail lights on both rear fenders with LED lights

---Radiator - new, original Style core, new shell (chrome)

---Running boards - new running boards, Correct pattern on steps.

This is one beautiful, restored, Model A. It has 4600 miles on the restoration, but I looked carefully at it, and, to me, it looked like it had '0' miles.

The Model A Fordor is a great family car, it rides better than any other Model A style, it is roomy and comfortable. Now remember, this is a

1929 Model A, an 84 year old vehicle, so don't compare it with your "modern" car. But this car will outshine most, if not all, Model A Fordors

out there.

It will be a fun car to own and drive - you will get admiring looks from everywhere.

The price is high, but the car is worth it.

The car is located in Richfield, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
