1929 Ford Model A: Still affordable cool car
12/20/06
) | • Overall Satisfaction: |
For the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a car that gets as much attention, is as easy to find parts for, or is as reliable as a Model A. The 1928/1929 Models are virtually identical, and are easily distinguishable by the "step-in" of the body to the cowl. They are narrower than the 1930/31 models, and have some more angular features. A very distinguished, timeless style. The drivetrain consists of a four cylinder, valve-in-block flathead producing roughly 35hp stock. The manual transmission is unsynchronized, and leads to the torque tube and banjo rearend. The drivetrains of all Model A's interchange. The Model A's, luckily, became favorites of restorers back in the 60's, and now the aftermarket has just about every single part reproduced and refined so you can practically build a whole car from scratch, save the core body structure. The car is very solid and reliable- mine was pulled from a barn, the points were filed, new gas was added and it fired right up. I have since freshened the motor and it's still running and driving strong after 78 years. The car is quite cramped by today's standards, but it's easy enough to drive. The handling is not the best, but what do you expect? The rumble seat is a nice feature for carrying your friends around, though, the 1928/29 models did not have a roll down window available so talking to them is not an option. My car has a top speed of about 65mph with minor modifications. The mechanical brakes do an adequate job if properly adjusted.
Both styles of Model A are destined to only rise in price. They are already a true classic, a timeless design (as evidenced by so many still driving today), but as the 32-34 coupes rise in price there needs to be an alternative for the common man. The Model A is that car!

1929 Ford Model A: Ebay offers no support to protect or help people that have been ripped off
05/10/13
| • Overall Satisfaction: |
This has nothing to do with this particular vehicle as I was hospitalized and never was able to make the purchase. BUT, there was another purchase that I was making just prior to this and was scammed. I emailed Ebay a full report with explanation and documentation, only to never hear back from anyone! Nothing! I was totally ripped off, with no help what so over from Ebay. Thanks for nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this truck because I was able to look at it before buying it , because it was located in my home state. Their was no ? I had to have it. Most of the restoration was done, it needed some minor body work and paint. A great driver as is with no mechanical problems. This truck was in my price range, and with a little work it will be worth a lot more when done.

1929 Ford Model A: Unhappy

I purchased this with very little description and it read that the Model A started and ran well. Didn't. DIdn't start, didn't run and I've put an additional $2000 in having all the problems repaired, including no headlight, a jury-rigged ignition, torn upholstery, etc.etc. So after getting everything fixed I am hoping that it is a car I can drive and have fun with.

1929 Ford Model A: Unsafe car, completely dishonest seller who hid major safety defects

I bought the car because I liked the look and it was a finished car I could drive immediately. The seller told me the car was perfect, the paint was perfect, no chips or issues. Ends up it was downright dangerous. The rear brakes were bolted on with 1/2 bolts and 5/8 nuts. The brake lines leaked everywhere and most fittings were stripped. The panhard bar had an extension bracket that defeated the whole purpose and the nut holding it on only caught 2 threads. The car has to be completely rewired because the moment I got it, it began blowing fuses and ends up the wires under the panel were bare and shorting on the body. The steeering shaft was hitting the header. The headlights had no brights becaue he put in a dimmer switch with broken spade connectors and taped the wires in place. The rear brake calipers were hitting the frame, I only got to drive the car around the block on smooth roads and the calipers were hitting the frame. The rear axles were leaking, ends up he had no seals in the axles. The shifter was mounted to a piece of aluminum floor board at the transmission hump and would shift by itself as I drove, ends up the aluminum was fatiged and cracked and motor torque would make the shifter change gears.
I can go on but the above were the safety issues. This seller was completely dishonest and after the sale, after he told me how great the car is (he built it) he told me look before you leap. So he not only is completely dishonest, he thinks its funny to lie and deceive

1929 Ford Model A: Probably my last purchase

1, I was looking for a Roadster, not a show car but something decent. 2, I spoke with the seller to get info on the car, he stated the engine sounded good,body was in good condition, and drove well. 3,Sorry to say not true. The engine knocks, might have to come out, the body has putty in a lot of places,(must had a lot of rust) the front and rear spring are bad, not impressed with the car. If had seen the car I would not have bought it for that money. Too bad there is no way to send it back. You have to take peoples word,for something like this, in most cases it's not always good. I know the buyer beware thing but there should be a little more protection for the buyer.
This will probably be my last purchase on EBay, my luck hasn't been that good and speaking with others the story is same. The concept of ebay is good,but you are at the mercy of some not so good people. TOO BAD little protection for the buyer. There needs to be something for the buyer.

For an 82 year old car you have to expect some minor glitches from time to time. Nice driver.The restoration is older and every restorer has different ideas on how things should be done and they are OK with me.
