Reluctantly offering my '29 for exactly what I have invested.

Bought from Dirtiest Devil here for full pop.

There are quite a few pictures of it on line here in my album, here, when I first got it home, and here.

I got close to my vision which is uber simple for this car. I wanted it to be a car that could have pulled up at the lakes with a bunch of high school kids in 1948 and no one would have thought twice about it being there. Get it reliable, somewhat comfy, and wax up the patina. That's it!

Mechanically it's very sound. Engine is obviously a mild something or other because it runs way too strong to be a stock Model A. Brakes are good, tires are great. ****** doesn't whine. Rear end is perfect. Steering is even great for a Model A.

Has nice upholstered correct '29 seats. Has a good nevada title with numbers matching the engine block. I got the windshield glass done, and changed to the spoke wheels. I added a Burns downdraft with gennie Stromberg 97. Complete wiring harness and loom with lots of extras bought and sort of installed. I bought some non Ford T era headlamps that are super cool looking but never got brackets made for them. So wiring is only partially complete, but the expensive stuff is all there.

Not shown are a set of dual sidemount fenders front and rear for the car.

So there it is, $13,250 in Central Nevada. Come and get it.
 
Summer's here. Phaeton is out and I've been running the grandkids all over the place in it. Seats are in and usable. Windshield glass is in an great. It's a driver. Still needs a lot of work I suppose. I have both painted '29 commercial headlamps and also a set of Model T era non ford nickel plated headlamps. The nickel ones are killer and are part of my vision for this, but everyone's vision is different of course.

Still available for sale.
 
This car comes with 4 fenders, 2 fronts are dual side mount, a '32 grill shell, '48 steelies, and '28 - 9 commercial headlamps. No running boards though. Burns downdraft manifold stays with me. Original carburetion included.

Actually, I put it on ebay a week or so ago and a fellow has bought it. I'm just waiting for the check to clear and it's on it's way to Iowa. Thanks!
