July '29 engine # matches title.
Engine runs with no unwelcome noises.
New cast iron brake drums but brakes need some attention to work adequately.
12 volt with Smith & Jones alternator.
5 good 21" wheels, 6th one has two hub cracks.
Tires are good rollers but too old for the road.
I have not found any body rust but there are a couple of areas of amateur body repairs
Previous owner (2006-2025) did not know a lot about Model As so there is some Macgyver-ing that will not be too complicated to fix: They had a problem with fuel line clogging so rather than cleaning the tank and installing a shutoff filter they put a streetrod tank in the back. I have the shutoff and new correct fuel lines. I was told the original tank does not leak but have not confirmed- there's no paint peeling at steering column support. Has some oddball carb that might have been intended for a tractor; included is what appears to be a good Zenith and the correct choke mechanism.
Not pictured but included in asking price: Stewart-Warner horn, new 6V coil, complete new wiring harnesses, 2nd tail light, generator, a few boxes of odds-n-ends parts, and a complete Sept '29 engine (disassembled, condition unknown).
We impulsively bought this last summer with the intention of making it into a driver, but now realize we do not have time to give it the attention it deserves.
