Long lost prototype
I was surfing craigslist and found this lost prototype Model A. I bet Henry would be upset if he knew some employee sneaked this out of the factory. I live too far away to pick this one up. Hopefully someone can give it a good home. LOL

Re: Long lost prototype
Someone should put a v-12 in it.

Re: Long lost prototype
Maybe it's just me, but i'd prefer to have the gear shift IN the cab (but I'm funny like that). Shocking that it doesn't come with a title!

Re: Long lost prototype
Put the body back in the original position and add a short box. Presto! A 1929 Ford extended cab pickup!

Re: Long lost prototype
I don,t think I will show my extended cab/ with a full length box here. It will have the sort of proper flathead v8 and such. Gary

Re: Long lost prototype
Looks as if the Guy did some pretty GOOD construction & DIDN'T destroy the chassis.

Too bad we see this all too often. Someone comes up with a strange idea of a hot rod, then gives up or they have no idea of how to finish what they shouldn't have started. |

Re: Long lost prototype
The back of the body "might" be a leftover, from the building of a FARM TRUCK. I'd like to have one for my front yard, to sit in, drink JET-FUEL COFFEE, & watch the cuties wiggle by!

Re: Long lost prototype
Its really gone as an A as we know them. Put a big Jimmy 6 in it and take it to Bonneville. If not to race(possible with some work) at least for the greatest car show on earth in downtown Wendover on Friday night of Speedweek. (Would like to see some times of the Jimmy 6 compared the big Ford 300ci ohv, but I am getting off topic.)

Re: Long lost prototype
PC/SR, In my Drag Racing years, I've seen MANY FIRE BREATHING GMC-6's & some BUICK straight 8's, that were UNBELIEVABLE!! OH, if the times of the '50's could only return.
