Hi, I’m selling my fully restored 1929 Model A Ford because
it is time to downsize. This car was my
late wife’s favorite (she named it Harrison Ford) and she often drove it in
parades and for Sunday drives. I bought it in 2000 for $6000 and over the next
six years spent $71,000 having it restored by a professional (paperwork
included in sale). I wanted a dependable
driving car. First the car was stripped to the frame and the frame
straightened and trued, then the following were replaced: the fenders,
headlights, correct cloth covered wiring (with a fuse added for protection),
headlight bar, radiator, radiator shell, radiator rock protector, running
boards, roof, roof oak supports, bumpers, tail lights (another light added to
rear fender), safety windshield and door glass, upholstery (leBaron Bonney), new
wood floor, hot water fed heater installed, new instruments, new steering
wheel, new shocks, new brakes, new heavy, duty cast-iron brake drums, brake
floaters, tires, tubes, wheels, lug nuts, transmission rebuilt with
synchronized second and third gears, rear end rebuilt with higher gearing,
hood, gas tank cleaned and resealed, Weber downdraft carburetor, new headers,
new exhaust, electric fuel pump, new fan, fuel filter, leak-less water pump,
new alternator, battery, headlamp bulbs are halogen, electronic ignition,
engine (1930) rebuilt by previous owner but I had the restoration mechanic tear
it down to check it, steering pitman arm shortened, added noise suppression
installed, plate underneath the car to keep the passenger’s legs from feeling
exhaust heat, new steering gear (so my wife could easily steer it), turn
signals added, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature gauges added,
battery cutoff switch installed. I left
it a six-volt system but it could easily be changed over to 12-volts, new windshield
wiper (electric). The car was painted to match original paint and the pin
stripping was done by hand. I guess it is easier to say that just about the
only thing on this car that is original to 1929 is the metal body. The insurance company told me that it could
be classified as a hot rod. It starts easily,
and runs well. It will easily go faster
than 60 but with the large wheels and high center of gravity I keep it at 50 to
55. It will stop quickly and could be a daily driver. I think you could drive this car for long
distances if you wanted. It doesn’t overheat in a hot July parade. The doors
close perfectly and it has door locks. It
has seatbelts, wind wings. Well, there’s not much more I could have done to it
except switch it over to a 12-volt system. It does have some minor paint chips and flaws because I live
on a ranch a mile and a half from a blacktop road. It is kept in a heated garage and never
driven if there is a cloud in the sky. I have a logbook with it. It looks like a stock, beautiful, 1929 car
but it is dependable and basically trouble free. A leather-covered trunk comes with it and the
little American flags so you can drive it in the July 4th parade – I
always do. If you are looking for a car that you can spend many happy hours
beating out dents in the fenders or if you like rewrapping the water pump with
string on the way to Sunday lunch while your wife gives you the “ray”, or you
enjoy the smell of gas dripping from a 1929 carburetor, then this car is NOT
for you. I will be happy to answer any
questions. I could deliver it for expenses
within 500 miles or so of Hysham, Montana.
I have put 3430 miles on it since its restoration was completed in 2006.

Autoblog Minute: Ford reports record second-quarter profits
Thu, Jul 30 2015Second-quarter financial results are in, and Ford reports increased profits. Autoblog's Mylencia Gillenwaters reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Second-quarter financial results are in, and Ford reports increased profits. I'm Mylencia Gillenwaters and this is your Autoblog Minute. Ford Motor Company reports second-quarter financial results including a pre-tax profit of $2.9 billion dollars and a net income of $1.9 billion. Excluding special items charges, this marks a 10-percent increase over last year's profits. This latest report from the Dearborn-based automaker marks their best quarterly profit since 2000. Looking forward [00:00:30] CFO Bob Shanks said in a statement that he expects the second half of the year to be even better, as supply constraints of the redesigned Ford F-150 affected first-half sales.

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge
Sat, Sep 9 2017Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america
2016 Ford Focus RS to start at $35,730? [UPDATE]
Wed, Jul 29 2015UPDATE: Unsurprisingly, Ford declined to comment on the pricing shown on the consumer page, with spokesman Aaron Miller telling Autoblog that the Blue Oval does "not comment on pricing speculation." The webpage showing the $35,730 figure has since been pulled down. We love it when automakers make little, tiny mistakes. You know, not the big stuff that leads to recalls, but the small things, like accidentally releasing pricing of a hotly anticipated model via its US consumer website. Such a thing has apparently happened to Ford, as Jalopnik's Car Buying sub-blog has uncovered a page on the site listing the starting price of the 2016 Focus RS. The cost of entry for the 345-horsepower, all-wheel-drive, torque-vectoring hot hatchback is $35,730, according to the website. That's $1,035 more than the base Subaru WRX STI, although it's $865 less than the Volkswagen Golf R. Considering the RS outguns both models by a very significant margin – 40 horsepower over the STI and 47 over the Golf R – that price seems very agreeable. If it's correct, that is. Aside from showing the RS' starting price, the page also gives us a glimpse into the options sheet. There's an RS2 equipment level that adds $2,795 to the base price along with navigation and leather Recaro seats, an $895 sunroof, and a 19-inch wheel and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tire package for $1,990 (or just $1,395 for the 19s alone). Some fiddling with the quite incomplete configurator – there are no images and the overall design is rather glitchy – revealed a max price of $42,275. We've reached out to Ford for confirmation of the pricing information displayed. Head into Comments and let us know what you think of the pricing. Has Ford hit it out of the park by slotting in a more powerful competitor between the Subaru and Volkswagen? Were you expecting a higher price (like your author), or is this still too much money for a jumped-up Focus? Related Video:
