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.

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces

Tue, 13 May 2014

Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
