1929 RUMBLE SEAT ROADSTER
OK FOLKS, WE'RE RELISTING AGAIN! WE'VE GOT A REALLY NICE MODEL A THAT'S CERTAINLY WORTH THE RESERVE PRICE. PREVIOUS BIDDERS HAVE GOTTEN PRETTY CLOSE AND IT'S CAR SHOW SEASON!
This '29 has been converted to run highway speed!
- I installed a T-5 conversion kit. Now, with the S-10 five speed underneath, this car cruises at 55 miles per hour at about half throttle. The conversion included new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. The parts to reinstall stock transmission are included with sale, but it drives much too well to go back.
I purchased this Model A in 2007, in the time that I've owned it I have replaced:
- NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBERATOR
- NEW TIRES
- IGNITION PARTS INCLUDING DISTRIBUTOR, POINTS, CONDENSOR, PLUGS, WIRES, ROTOR BUTTON, AND CAP
- NEW RADIATOR HOSES AND A LEAKLESS WATER PUMP
- ALSO INCLUDED ARE UNINSTALLED NEW REAR BACKER PLATES, NEW BRAKE PARTS, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PARTS
This car is an older restoration with no rust. The front end is good and tight, it drives very well. The paint has a few rock chips and cracks in the lacquer. There is a bubble on the gas tank where it has been repaired, and the paint didn't stick to the repair very well.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
