Yes, didn't get to see it all
You could hand crank the engine by making sure the spark is retarded enough not to kick back.
You have a rare very early production (probably 1927 production) AR Model A Roadster. Look on the drivers side of the gas tank under the hood and there is a date stamped into it. The left hand brake is a left over from the Model T. This car is very rare. Ive only seen 1 and I'm 72. DON'T rod it. Go trade for one that's done
u got that 1m 77 and only saw one a pickup and its buried under a roof that fell in and it was driven in there but the owner dont care
Unless those aren't the original wheels, it would not be earlier than a 1928. Before 1928, Ford put wooden spoked wheels. Without researching, I say between a 1928 - 1930 Roadster.
@@coastalcruiser4317 I love it.l am a body and fender painter Man. I restore lots of old car for people show cars for 48 years. I have old car. And I think that is really cool it
@@jerryn4014 I'm envious. That's so awesome!
Yep red steering wheel and E brake on the side.
So glad you are saving this little guy. I hope you resist any temptation to hot rod it. So many guys out there have no respect for barn finds and American car history. It deserves not to be pimped out.
pimp that ride.. LOL
Hush, No one asked the Old Fart generation for opinions
@@thealternate6234 The Old Fart generation are the ones that Made it. lol
@@thealternate6234 well no one ask for the new shitty generation opinion either. 🤷🏻♂️
That depends. If it looks the same as the original car but gets new everything else and a correct engine and drivetrain. (Ford, MOPAR, or International.) Why not?
KEEP IT ORIGINAL! It's almost totally in tact you can get every thing to restore it to original condition.
he outta make her go extra fast. and also if i were him waterproof the foldable roof just in case idk lol
It should be turned over to someone that knows what they are doing... and kept original...

Never try turning an old unknown motor over till you put at least half a cup of Marvel Mystery oil in each cylinder then let it sit overnight. If possible spray it in so it coats the entire piston head and cylinder walls. You can easily destroy the rings, piston and cylinder if you don't.
prolly shouldnt have towed it like that without disconnecting the driveshaft either...
@@thomasbeaver3828 they are well on their way to destroying it already. The combined iq between the two guys and the airhead is about 8.
please keep that in original condition. That may be the best preserved model A roadster I've seen that hasn't been made into junk by a hot rodder. It's a solid gold barn find. And BTT that pickup right there is another jewel.
Hello Steven, you totally right.
You guys struck gold. I’ve never seen one found so complete A 26/27 roadster done well is worth serious money. Most parts aren’t hard to find many model a parts still cross to the t the production was in the millions
In 1991 I bought a 1927 Model T Touring from the original owner with the original title ..
Nice I can't believe they found Jim Bob's car.
Wow ,such a beautiful old roadster , deffo keep it original
My father use to have one 29 that he used mostly in the region of the "Triângulo Mineiro" in the country side of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, when I was a kid, up to 1952, when he imported from England, a Morris Oxford. Since I was very young, I don't remember ever to have been in the passanger seat, only in the backseat in the trunk. It was a 4 cylinder, not a Flat-head V8. I still have some fotos with the car, my dad and me, in my mom's lap. Nice to see this car being rescued.
There were about 5 million Model A's. This is a rare one from early production. This car restored to working condition will be a prize for any "A" collector.
I am actually related to Henry Ford. But not close enough to be "in the money". My grandmother told me that Henry gave her cousin a new car back in the day. The rest of my family thought Grandma was crazy but I proved it through genealogy research after she died. I think this is on my Compton/Jackson side of the family. I am actually related to Henry's father or Grandfather. Haven't looked at it in years...
wow that really neat!!!
Royalties
@Larry Arthauer Too much responsibility. I'd have to fire a bunch of idiots and restructure everything. Except the Ford Truck Division ...
Man I hope you don’t mess with that great time capsule. It’s in very very good condition!!! Leave it like it is.
And don’t leave it out in all weathers either.
Yes, what everyone else is saying, don't cut it up, don't modify it, don't do anything until you learn more about it. Trade or sell it to a collector and buy something else to chop up and paint red. This one is a gem and they are gems only once in their lives. If Hannah wants to keep and restore it great, just study how to do it correctly or have the correct people do it for/with you. Congrats on a fantastic find.
Looking forward to more vids on this car!
Some of the old Fords came with wood floor boards. Henry Ford would buy parts that came in wooden crates but he would specify that certain holes be cut in the boards. Those crates were carefully dismantled and the boards were used for floor boards, already made to fit the pedals.
Yup, probably 100% original floorboards .
Yes that is correct the parts packing crates were designed so they could be the floor boards and top rails of the car Henry Ford was a genius in his Time
True!! But I believe that was in the "Model T" era and the crates were what the glass came in. The Model A began being built in 1928 when the Rouge River plant was built. During that time, Henry was WAY past needing free wood as he had his own timber forrest, rubber plantation, and was making his own steel and glass at the plant. There are several videos here on KZhead about the Rouge River plant.
Great find!! You have an extremely rare type of Ford i think.Before cranking it check oil.Also be careful if you never crank start a car before.Id keep it original because it may only add to value. That floorboard with notched cutouts is original i believe.Wood was commonly used on the interior of early cars.I hope you restore it and get it running again.
PLEASE don't chop or rod this! It's a survivor and should be left as original! I have a '29 Model A and I think this one is earlier...red steering wheel and powerhouse generator. Great find!
Wow how cool is this!! We expect to see a road trip to Provost!
Definitely an AR roadster. The giveaway is the handbrake by the door instead of on the gearbox. Give the car a wash. Re upholster the seat yourselves. Put new tyres on it. Get the engine going. Join your nearest Model A Ford club and have years of fun. Awesome find.
Scott - YES. Join the local club and LEARN before jumping in.
Nice find, I have a Canadian 1929 Barn Find Roadster. Now fully restored. Enjoy.
Nice that's so cool!! they are truly a cool car!
That car is in amazing condition for it's age. Treat it with care as you will be a very long time before you see another one like it. It needs slow and methodical restoration. If you rush at the job and make fundamental mistakes you will live to regret it. A great video. I wait for the next one showing what you have done.
I can see this ending in tears for someone, I don’t think these muppets know what they’ve got
Yeah not a good idea to flat tow that car!
Why do you insult them ?
old car an young mother..
@@garymorris1856 probably because when you see a Model A in such good original condition and then you start throwing words like "hot rod" " flames" and "Ford 9 inch" they don't appreciate it and if they hot rod it they're just throwing money down a rat hole by destroying it.
@@tarstakars I agree. I always prefer to see antiques restored to be as original as possible.
Love it! I’m jealous! Awesome find!
Great video thanks for sharing your barn find, like many others on here if it was me who was that lucky to find the model A I would keep it as a survivor as close to the day it came from ford factory as possible. You could even send it to auction as a barn find and use the cash raised to help your little man, what ever you decide it's your car guys enjoy her or him 😀
Guys.....you have to do a fully authentic restoration on this little gem of a find. Any else would be pure sacriledge. 👌
The floor is supposed to be wood. You can find virtually everything to put this car back to original. Battery ,6volt, positive ground, goes under your feet below the removable wood floor. I believe this might be a1927. First year of Model A. Model A was built from 1927 to 1932. This would be amazing restored. The wheels are 21 inch. Good find.
⁰⁰
Model As were made until 1931. In 1932 they were the Model B. Your correct that it's either a 27 or 28 because the emergency brake is on the left. My 1929 was next to the shifter.
This is a 1928 Model A. The Model T was produced through 1927. Major difference between 1928 and 1929 roadsters was the 1928 had no door handle on the outside. 1930-31 Model A's were a larger body size.
àààààààààààAa
The rumor is that Henry Ford bought engines. They were shipped in wood crates. The crates were drilled and cut to size. The crates were taken apart, and then became the floor.
Wow, you have to totally restore this!
Awesome finds some of the 2 door cars are super rare compared to other early fords
Sounds like alot of Model A enthusiasts chiming in to keep it original. From the sounds of them, you have quite a rare car. I would consult someone knowledgeable in the field of Model A cars. I would hope you try to get it running and road worthy in the condition it's in. Good luck with your project!!
My first car!! I bought mine second-hand in 1959 for AU£25 (US$760).Mechanical brakes, dickey seat, wood floor, canvas hood & side curtains, same sort of distributor w/- copper strips as spark plug leads. Spent 2 years restoring it. Sold it for AU £1250 (US$4000) cash! Heaps of memories came flooding back when I saw this one. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! that's so cool
@@MuddyRascals on car a registration_plates_of_Saskatchewan ??
As others have said, you have quite an excellent barn find. That is a very early production production Model A commonly notated as an AR. Spotting features include the pan alternator left side by the radiator, the left hand pistol grip hand brake, the red steering wheel. These features were only included on the first few months of manufacture. Of the over 5million built, this would be among the first few thousand. You should be able to find the motor number stamped on the block just below where the head meets the block. If the motor is original to the car, you should be able to match the engine number to the month built. If it’s original, the number will be low. there is also a matching number stamped on the frame that is only visible with the body off. If the engine a frame number math, that is an added value to the $$$ of the car. The great thing about the model a is that there were so many built, there are still a lot of original parts out there to replace what is missing. Also because it was such a popular car there are many many nice reproduction parts out there to use until originals can be found. I’m not a fan of street rods, and I wouldn’t normally discourage someone from chopping and hopping an old car if that’s what they want to do, BUT in this case with a really complete original EARLY production car… keep it original. Restore it if you want but keep it in its original 4 cylinder splendor. THAT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL FIND. You can also look for chapters of model A Ford Clubs in your area. This would be a great source of help and information on this car. Those club guys are really friendly and knowledgeable. Good luck.
thanks! yes we are going to keep it original and are in the prosses of working on the engine, unfortunately the numbers on the firewall are not there! if you would like to see our update on this car check out our new video kzhead.info/sun/h8OKlKWbpJiOlac/bejne.html
@@MuddyRascals Hey... Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear back from you. You said you couldn't find the date on the firewall. That is possible. BUT, take a look at the engine block on the side that has the cylinder walls and oil filler tube. From front to back on the block, there should be a narrow rectangular area at the top edge of the block. There you should see a number, not necessarily a date. If the number is low it very well could be the original engine. There are online resources to verify approximate build dates based on the engine number. If your taking the car down to the frame; if the engine is original to the car, there will be a matching number stamped on the top of a long frame rail somewhere in the area of where the front of the body was. You cannot see that number if the body is on the frame. Ill be sure to check out the video. Good luck. Here is a link to a page I found that might be of some help in your effort. www.plucks329s.org/index.htm
@@anthonylong5838 Hey thanks for the info, so we were able to get some numbers off the engine it looks like A96872
Early model 28. Parking brake is on the left and no outside door handles or glass windows. Windows were side-curtains that rolled up and tied in place. On late '28's the parking brake was in the center by the shift lever, and it had outside door handles with roll-up glass windows.
Wow... A huge opportunity for your young family! Don't screw it up. Talk to the right people please.
Way better condition and a lot more complete than most enthusiasts start with. Amazingly little rust on the body and the engine turning over was a win. I don’t think its particularly rare (they sold A LOT of em) but still popular and well supported in the aftermarket, a lot of reproduction parts are available. definitely worth a few bucks to the right buyer. Cool find! 👍
You have a treasure. Restore everything, Everything off the frame . engine, wheels , running gear, and restore it to its former glory. It deserves nothing less.
It's an early 27' model A. Keep it original, you don't find them that intact any more. The Emergency brake is on the left. In late 1928 they moved the location of the brake next to the shifter itself.
Its an early 28. only made 27s for about 2 months.
@@wieslawaz Red steering wheels and left hand grip brakes were only on 27's in the first couple months of production. I believe the steering wheels were gone by Feb 28'. Look at the proximity of the generator low on the left side closer to the radiator. Those are all early production, 1927 only.
Awesome video! And that looks like Jimbob car from the old TV show The Waltons.
I hope you restore it, nice find, l'm totally jealous!
you really should do a lot of research to make sure you aren’t going to screw up something that may be worth a lot of money.
Protect it and preserve it….a very rare Model A Ford.
too late
IT SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE AND LET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS BRING IT BACK TO LIFE. ALL OF THE METAL LOOKS GREAT AND IS ORIGINAL. THAT'S VERY, VERY RARE. DON'T DESTROY IT WITH YOUR 9" FORD DIFF.
If it were my find I would treat the vehicle with respect and restore it to it's original condition. Don't cut it up an turn it into a hot rod, they are pretty common. Keep her in her original off the factory floor condition.
I think it might be a 1929, judging from the lenses on the headlights. The 28's had vertical fluted lenses and were also on very early 29's. Yours has a later model lens. Nice old car that should be fun to restore!
WOW! What an ULTIMATE barn find. Congratulations! It's yours of course to do as you you please. Understand there are literally thousands of fellas that would trade their firstborn...well, maybe not their firstborn, but you get the point. I just bought a restored 1928 Ford Roadster four months ago and LOVE it! Thanks for posting. Great video. From an old geezer, good luck and keep enjoying life!
That is,a great find ..that engine will probably run...most of the ones I have seen need a little lubes in cylinders and a touch up on the starter...with twelve volt conversion and a little love will fire right up...don't forget those where positive grounded back then...good luck. .😁😉😊
That Ford is a 1928 model T
Hope these guys are better restorers than they are recovery persons!!
kind of like watching the 3 stooges
Excelente video muchas gracias por compartirlo... saludos cordiales desde Ecuador 🇪🇨🇪🇨👍
Amazing barn find, almost the Holy Grail of barn finds....how exciting! .
28 model A roadster. They did use wood so that could be original. You have a survivor so don't hot rod it. More valuable as an original example. I would even go with the patina and just clean it up and redo the upholstery.
Wow, what a find! I like the circa-1956 truck next to it, too.
1927 model A Roadster. I wish my Dad was here watching this with me, he would be telling me that was his first car he bought as a teenager. He would say I bought it used for $30 - $70. My Grandpa would ask him where did you find that junk cause he had to work on it to get it running, just like my Dad did with me. Lot of good memories from the cars of that era.
Early production Ford Model A ‘28 Roadster. Telltale signs of an early “28 include red steering wheel, parking (not emergency) brake on left. Someone replaced the original headlights with sealed beams. Original powerhouse generator. Ammeter missing. I’d be interested in knowing the engine serial number (on flat spot on left side of block) to see if older than my March of ‘28 Roadster.
Guys…. This is called an AR Ford Model A. You have something which is rare… do NOT mess with it. It has the powerhouse generator, the old style starter switch, red steering wheel, no outside door handles. Radiator fan shroud is missing but it would have had one, as well as a 2 bladed fan. Look, as others have said, on left side of engine block, just above the water outlet. You may see a star ⭐️ followed by a number then followed by another ⭐️. Please let us know what that number is. Also look for the date stamped on the firewall engine side on the left side of the car. This will show you a production date. Again, you need to contact an informed person about this car. Depending on what information you can obtain, you may have something that perhaps the Henry Ford Museum, in Dearborn MI might want to know about. This is again, NOT your typical model A Ford. Congrats on the find btw
An AR model A generally is worth little more then a regular car, unless you have one that was made in the first 1000. fact.
I have been screwed out of 2 great barn finds. 1 a Model T flatbed with a full steel cab. We had a deal, so I pulled it out and the next day the guy wouldn't let me take it. He now wanted $10,000 instead of the 3 plus the rest of the labor taking down the out buildings. I came back with 7,000. No deal. I was already out of all the work I did. 5 years later it sold at his farm sale for $7,000. The next was a 1931 Chevy 5 window coup. We made a deal, so a few days later I showed up with my equipment to find it gone. I have found several others over the years and it always ended the same way..... I quit looking in barns......
That is a very early model A, that was built in 1927, park brake on left side, rear tail light mounted on the body, three plate clutch. Etc. You should restore it with the rumble seat et al. Very, very rare find.
That is some serious quality american sheetmetal. Beautifull patina. Just oil it and keep it original :) Greeting from Germany
O
It seems we've all got a story that includes a Model A Roadster. I'm 78 - in 1955 when I was 12 I bought a 1929 Model A Roadster with a rumble seat and weather curtains for $95.00 . It was pretty ugly and run down but sound, solid and running. I drove it home with my father by my side and we spent the next two years bringing it back to pristine (in my eyes - not a show car) condition and when I got my driver's license after those two years I had the coolest car around. I drove it until my junior year of high school then sold it to a collector who restored it to show condition. three years later it was sold to the Winthrop Rockefeller Auto Museum in Arkansas. Years later they sold it off - I wish I could find it again! Be gentle with that old girl!!!
Up on petitjean mountain..I don't live to far from there
wow that's such a cool story! yeah that would be so awesome if you could find it again!!
What luck!! I agree with everyone else, in this day and age it's impossible to get these unless you want to pay 10k or more. Restore it! Personally I'd kill for an attempt to get a project car like this for any reasonable sum of money. lol
Oh what a lovely weekend and summer shopping run er ,lots of work to do but it could be fun .😃
You do undoubtedly have an ultimate jewel of automotive history there. This is just a major WOW!!
Thanks!
Great car. Thanks to share.
Glad you liked it!
I bought a model T for my 16 year old daughter... this one I had a straight 6 and she was happy it ran faster... she graduated and took her car to college... she returned it to me after college and I bought her a 2022 Chevrolet Camero 2ss because she is my only daughter..
Haha wow you sound like awesome dad!
Great video nice to see young people bring back old cars
Got that “Sanford and Son” pickup truck too.
That's awesome. And the red truck next to it is sweet too
PLEASE restore this beauty to original!!
Beautiful há, unbelievable nice
It's Model 'A' roadster. What a find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend of my family's been restoring these since he was about 12.has all kinds of parts for them
What a cool little car thanks for posting
Had to subscribe, this channel is great, ey? Pure content, next video is about his pea fields, amazing.
Great find!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!
Guess you don’t need me to tell you what a rare car you found as everyone else has done that! That’s iron gold my friends. Absolutely beautiful
Wow that is beautiful. What a great find .
That would make a great hot rod (rat rod) by adding a current V-8 engine and transmission. Your pocket book is the limit. Cheers from eastern TN
Thats a dream car for me... well that area...I love the 30s
Even that old truck is worth saving
Make it run. Those old girls run good! Remember 6 volt battery positive ground drain all gas before you begin.
You are so lucky, just a beautiful little Roadster. needs a bit of love !
This car is in remarkably good condition as "Barn Finds" go. Just ran across this video a little while ago and was very excited when you showed the interior and it showed the park brake lever on the left side of the car. That makes this car a "early" 1928 vehicle. The body on this car is in VERY GOOD condition!! Most of the time the fenders are all bent and split, the sides of the body is all rotten at the bottom and many times the motor is seized. I would wager this one will run with minimum effort and parts. One of your main concerns will be to ensure you are getting all the mouse bedding out of the internals. I would LOVE to be "playing" with this one!!!
During that era, radiator and fuel caps with different icons could be had. On my fathers car the fuel / gas cap was topped with a "pointer" (hunting dog) , while the radiator cap sported a quail in flight. Enjoy. Narragansett Bay.
What a great find good luck
Whatever you decide to do will be better than letting it sit till it falls apart. Great score though.
Thanks!
Go for it. I can't wait to see what you can do guys...
28/29 model A Roadster complete needs lots of love
HOW ABOUT JUST GET IT RUNNING AND DRIVE IT. YOU DONT NEED TO HOTROD IT, YOU DONT NEED TO CUT IT UP, YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE IT MODERN. GET IT RUNNING, AND DRIVE IT. NOT ONLY IS THAT THE CHEAPEST WAY TO DO IT, PEOPLE WILL APPRICIATE YOU SAVING ON IT. THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE. IT'S COMPLETE.
Wow a true gem.
thanks!
That truck is dope too.
And to have wood as a part of the floor is spot on.
Now THAT is a BARN FIND!! Truly found in a shed where no one cared about it and it was totally discovered. The extremely nice Lady that gave it to you was probably the only one.Ive seen that your channel doesn't have a lot of videos on it yet. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on this car and video all the work. It's a dream for many people to be in your unique situation right now, Or if you can't do that then sell it to someone that will do this. From your "It's probably in miles" comment I'm guessing you might be from Canada like me. If so maybe get a hold of "Coldwarmotors" whom have a very popular YT channel and are out of Northern Alberta. They are car experts and truly love these cars. Just too excited from your find sorry. LOL.
Hi thanks so much for your comment, i'm glad you enjoyed the video! YES we will be putting more Videos of this car on for sure and we are for sure going to try and getting it running!! so please stay tuned!!
beautiful car ilove it looks great
Thank you! 👍
Best find i have seen in a long time.
Thanks!
That is the best barn find I have seen in a long time
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I had one just like that. It was a 1929 Ford Model A Convertabale Roadster with a Rumble seat where the trunk lid is. My father gave it to me when I was ten. The I believe the 1928, 1929, and 1930 were very similar. The engines were near bullet proof. I believe the car is very valuable if restored. You should take care of that car. Every piece is very valuable.
Wow,,,,beautiful car
Thank you 👍
Get it running and drive it the way it is! So cool!
thanks! yeah that's what were thinking too
That motor is solid
What a nice find!
Thanks!
Notice there are no exterior door handles? The 1928 Roadsters didn't have them, but the 1929 models did.
Clarification: Roadster and Phaetons didn't get door handles until February 1929, as I now recall. And the red steering wheel and drum tail light were phased out in February too.
As others have mentioned its a 1928 Model A roadster. It's very rare to find them in that condition, expecially in the prairies where they were literally driven until they wouldn't move another inch. Someone obviously took very good care of that car. Please do some serious research before touching anything on that car, or sell it as is to a knowledgeable Model A enthusiast. It's a very special find. If you do decide to fix it up George Moir in Edmonton has every part you could ever need for it.
