Ford Model A 1929 Description

I am selling my 1929 Ford Model “A” Sport Coupe (series 50A) due to my age and health.

Just a note if there is a better 1929 Ford Model “A” Sport Coupe around I do not know were it’s at (just review the photos). This car is better then when Henry Ford built it. This car has had 10s of thousand of dollars spent on its restoration over the last ten (10) years of it life and about $9,000.00 of that was this year along.

Yes, here will still be work to be completed (every year fixing little things). Yes, t’s a Model “A” and it will need your attention on a regular basis (this is part of the fun of ownership of a Model “A”). Next year I was planning to install modern shocks to improve the ride and to replace the transmission gasket that is leaking a little oil.

There is a box of spare parts including a two complete set of spark plugs, il pan gaskets, crews and rubber grommets, 00W oil and a 1929 Ford Model “A” service manual by Les Andrews several parts manuals along with a Ford owner’s manual.
