1929 Ford Model A

For your consideration is our 1929 Tudor. My family has owned this car for 31 years. My father was the third owner and we have it's history from new.  It was originally restored in 1955 to a high standard for the time. Although it was well maintained. I decided to do an all out restoration again in 2010 to address cracked paint. a tired engine. and a few other issues.  The entire chassis was sandblasted and powder coated in high gloss black. The paint was applied by Gerald and Sons of Nappanee. Ohio (geraldandsonsrestorations. com/) and is very nice. There is no body filler in this car. and Gerald said it was the cleanest body they had ever worked on. The drivetrain is completely rebuilt with about 800 miles on it. It includes a professionally rebuilt engine with new babbit. a Burlington counter weight crank. and touring grind cam. It has a new 3. 55 ratio ring and pinion with all new bearings. The brakes are all new. but still retain the steel drums. If I was to keep the car. I would replace the drums with cast iron units. but they stop okay as they are. The two tooth steering has a new sector and worm gear and has minimal play per specifications. It has a new Brassworks radiator and has never run hot. The Sparton horn sounds great. and all the lights work. The Lebaron Bonney interior is still like new. The tires have excellent tread and correct metal valve stem tubes. The original owners manual and tool kit are stashed under the back seat. A high quality car cover is included with this sale. The dash. gear shift lever. and parking brake lever are plated in a butler finish. The rest of the chrome is very good. with the exception of the quail hood ornament. I liked the patina. so I left it alone. With the balanced engine and slightly higher axle ratio. this car will run 55 m. p. h. comfortably. although I seldom have a reason to push it that hard and prefer 35 - 40.  My wife and I just returned from the Model A Restorers Club  National Tour in New York. and the car ran well the entire trip. This car is not a trailer queen. We enjoy driving our cars. so the undercarriage is not squeaky clean. but could be detailed to really shine with nothing more than some elbow grease. If you are into shows. it has everything to score very high in MARC Touring Class except a Ford script battery. I can store it a reasonable amount of time for you. providing the car is paid for in full and insured. I really do not want to mess with out of country bidders. and absolutely no paypal. Bank transfer has worked well for me in the past and cash never hurts. Feel free to ask questions. request more pictures. or make an appointment to see and drive the car in person.  There is no buy it now or lower offer accepted. as I really do like the car and if it does not sell. I will gladly keep it.  The reason for selling is I have too many cars and the barn is getting a bit cramped. Thanks for looking.
