1929 Ford Model A Town Sedan Additional Info:
Down-to-frame restore in '79. This is not a trophy car, it's for nostalgia and driving. Body VIN matches engine. Paint is lacquer, black has some dings, no rust. Odometer frozen, replaced and re-numbered. Guess about 200 miles per year since restore, parades, joy rides, weddings, picnics, etc. Engine good at restore but honed and new rings, Rod and main bearings were within tolerances. Drive train good at restore. Spring shackles replaced when body was mounted. Carburetor OK, spare included. Alternator replaced generator but is included. Condenser relocated but can be returned. All new wood at restore. Manifold heater comes with it (too damned hot in summer). Horn is after-market. Chrome parts all (not exterior door handles) replated. Upholstery by sewing expert. Curtains are on original rollers, stubborn but operational. Carpet not original. Steering and brake linkage need adjustment. Shocks not restored or connected. New water pump. Radiator has damage from fan blade (replaced) but works fine. All glass, except quarter windows, replaced with safety. I'm going on 78 years old and downsizing. This car needs a younger owner with respect for quality old stuff.
