I am relisting my 1929 Model A Ford Coupe as a bidder had given a high bid and left it there for 4 days before cancelling because of a typing mistake. Being that he may have driven off potential bidders Ebay recommended I relist the vehicle. I am sorry for any inconvience that this may have caused the serious bidders. I inherited this Model A from my brother in the 90's. He had taken the car almost completely apart and had started to rebuild the engine when he passed away. It has been stored in a San Francisco garage ever since he purchased it back in the 80's. He had acquired the Model A from an individual in the North Bay of San Francisco. According to the assembly serial number the car was assembled in San Francisco. I had thought that when I retired I would start working on it. Well I am semi-retired now and realize that I have just too many other things I want to do and have decided to sell it. Unfortunately my brother did not label the parts and through the years they have gotten mixed up. I have spent several days trying to figure out where things are and where they go by looking through Model A parts catalogs. I have some knowledge on cars, but none on the Model A except for what I have seen in the catalogs. I have taken lots of pictures trying to group them in categories hoping that it would be easier to see what's there as well as the condition of the body and parts. Ebay only allows an upload of 24 pictures. I had taken at least 70. I have uploaded all the pictures to a web site so if you want to see them all send me your email and I will have them sent to you. I believe that I took all the parts pictures except for a box of nuts, bolts,washers, and other small items. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. The car is stored an hour from where I live and I don't go there every day. So it may take a couple of days to respond to your question if I have to drive to San Francisco to find an answer. The following are parts that I know are missing...engine head, one front leaf spring, one shock, main drive gear bearing retainer, amperage gauge, throttle shaft, ignition switch, engine splash pan, amp gauge, and muffler. Parts that I know of that are broken...pedal shaft, rear tire bracket, front fender brace, flywheel housing has a crack in it that has been welded also there seems to be a chunk of metal that was cut out of it, and rear bumper arm. Parts that were bought new in the 80's, rebated connecting rods, adjustable lifters, values and value springs, crankshaft was worked on, cluster gear assembly, cluster shaft and bearings, oil pump assembly, water pump assembly, fly wheel gear, 6 rim liners, radiator (looks new, maybe rebuilt?, I assume it is the right one, it measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide by 27 inches from the top of the filler to the bottom of the radiator. There is a tag on the radiator which reads, Bay Radiator Service #043097. There is a Bay Radiator Service in San Francisco. There are six 30 spoke wheels that measure 2 1/2 inches wide from bead to bead and approximately 21 inches high from inside beads. The assembly number which is on the front cross beam just in front of the front seat holder is SFA14559. This is the serial number that is on the Certificate of Title as the Vehicle ID number. The serial number that is stamped on the frame just after the first body hole on the left side is partially readable due to rust and pitting. I know it is a star followed by A23349 then it looks like maybe a 4 and possibly another number with another star at the end. It may not be evident on the photos, but the front of frame on left side is slightly bent in, right door crease/indentation on bottom, extra set of head lights different than what's on the leadlight bar, dent on bottom of left rear fender under license plate holder. The body is just sitting on the frame. There are no bolts holding it together. Payment... $250 deposit due within 3 days of close of auction; if not I reserve the right to relist the vehicle.The remainder is due within 7 days of close of auction. If payment is made by cashiers check or money order they will have to clear before the car can be removed. CAR AND ALL PARTS MUST BE REMOVED BY MARCH 31st otherwise a storage of fee of $50 a day will be required.

None-the-less if you copy the link without the href it should work and get to all the pictures I took. If not send me an email and I'll get it to you. Thanks On Feb-25-13 at 18:52:15 PST, seller added the following information: I've had a few questions on the title being clear. If "clear" means that there are no liens on the car and that my name is on the tilte then yes the title is clear. Thanks again for your patience.
