Up for sale is my 1929 Ford Model A Roadster, runs very well, solid mechanics, original/real Henry Ford steel body and frame and running gear. Engine idles smoothly and strong, mechanical brakes stop the car well, starts right up after the starter is engaged, clutch and transmission are smooth. Car was converted over to 12 volt with the addition of an alternator and 12 volt battery and change in lights. Battery spins starter and after a pull of the choke and retarding the spark, the engine roars to life. After a short warm up it is ready to drive. We have placed a video of the engine at idle and also a short test drive. All 3 forward gears and reverse are fine. All synchros in the transmission are fine. Has the original 21 inch wheels, tires hold air but are weather checked from age. We also have a matching wheel for the spare. Recent new coil and tune up, car is ready to drive. Aoogah horn works. Headlights work but are a bit tempermental. Car can be enjoyed now and then restored at a later date if desired. Title matches the engine number 3997202 and actually says it is a 1928 but it is not an "AR".
Car needs a cosmetic restoration. Paint is of an older restoration with some peeling, crazing and oxidizing. Body panels are solid, lower cowl and areas where fenders meet the body are very solid with no rust or bubbling evident. Doors close well as does the trunk lid. Currently the inner door panels are off the doors and have been placed in the rumble seat area for safe storage. Frame is straight and there is no evidence of any previous accidents. The convertible top irons are missing and will have to be purchased if a convertible top is desired. These are available for $500-$800 depending on where you shop. All parts are available online for the restoration of this vehicle. Numerous parts houses offer about everything that would be needed for a full restoration. If one were to attend the Fall car show at Hershey all necessary items could be purchased at that one location! Car would make a great restoration back to original or hotrod or a ratrod of real Henry steel!
We have placed over 110 photos:

Here's how much the new Ford Mustang will cost in Germany
Thu, Jan 8 2015While you can find Ford Mustangs across Europe, they were brought over there courtesy of importers, rather than Ford itself. That's changing with the 2015 pony car, as Ford will be selling it directly through its overseas dealers. Now, we know how much German customers will be shelling out for the muscle car, courtesy of the maniacs at Mustang6G. Not surprisingly, there's a fairly hefty premium compared to US prices. The base Mustang, with its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed manual transmission will start at 34,000 euros ($40,214, at today's rates), while the 5.0-liter V8/six-speed-manual model starts at 39,000 euros ($46,127). The Mustang Convertible demands an extra 4,000 euros ($4,731) while the optional six-speed automatic elevates the price by 2,000 euros ($2,365), regardless, in both cases, of whether there are four or eight cylinders under that long hood. While those prices are certainly pretty dear compared to what we pay in the US, the Mustang is a genuine bargain compared to some of Europe's other sports coupes. The German market BMW 4 Series starts at 36,050 euros ($42,638), while a base 435i calls for 48,100 euros ($56,891). It's a similar story with the Audi A5/S5. As for the Mustang's arch-nemesis, the Chevrolet Camaro, which is only available with the SS model's 6.2-liter V8, starts at 39,990 euros ($47,298), comparing quite evenly with the 5.0-liter GT.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
