This beautiful 1929 Right Hand Drive Ford Model A RS Roadster was built new at the Ford plant in Argentina. Ford began producing cars in South America around 1925 and it is my understanding that most of the cars built there were Phaeton's and it is rare to see a Right Hand Drive Roadster, especially one that retains so much of it's original parts. Many of the mechanical parts including the oil breather cap, bell housing, intake manifold, generator, crank pulley, along with many of the internal parts are stamped Industria, Argentina. Even the timing gear which I changed was stamped Argentina. The original water pump was an enclosed pump and comes with the car. The tires are 450 21" Good Year, also stamped Industria, Argentina and in overall good condition for the age. The running boards on the car are the early Brazilian Walnut running boards and in exceptional condition. Even the rear axle housings are the correct South American cast style. The rear bumper clamps are the original cast with the Ford script in them. The front ones are also the correct original cast with no script.The interior of the car appears to be the original leather and in great shape for the age. The car is in overall beautiful condition and runs smooth and strong. The car was brought to the United States, (Texas) back in the early 1980's. A title was issued for it in Texas with the VIN number listed above. The original Ford VIN number is still visible on the block and is *AF2763598* The car was serviced at that time and repainted. The top was probably replaced at that time also. There is an original Texas inspection sticker from 1987 still on the windshield. A gentleman from New York bought the car and it was part of his private collection for many years. I purchased the car from him a little over 5 years ago. Over the past couple months the following work was done: ENGINE Disassembled and hot tankedCylinders bored New valve seats Valves groundBlock checked for cracks and resurfacedNew aluminum pistonsNew ringsNew wrist pinsAdjustable lifters installedNew timing gearNew crank gearRods and Mains were taken up (still shims left)Rebuilt oil pumpNew gasketsNew leakless water pumpRebuilt starterRebuilt generator w/new electronic cutout Rebuilt distributor w/drilled upper shaft so you can oil the bushingsRebuilt carburetor (early accessory Marvell Carburetor)New hoses & fan beltNew Radiator All new wiringNew float-a-motor mounts including transmission mount TRANSMISSIONDisassembled and cleaned New needle bearings installedRebuilt shift tower New ring gear on the flywheelFlywheel housing aligned New pilot bearingNew clutchThe car also has:A new batteryOriginal wing windows with new glass cut the same as the original onesNew chrome plated radiator shellNew chrome plated headlightsRestored original Spartan hornGas tank was removed, cleaned & sealedNOS sediment bowlNew original style shut off New brake light switchNewly refinished floor boardsNew exhaust manifoldRebuilt steering gear boxEtc.The Right Hand Drive Model A's have become quite collectible in recent years and this one is a very beautiful and unique example.
