@Gappie Al Kebabi Because where I live is the day with less cars circulating on the street and it is also the day off from work, nothing better than a nice car ride.
Very nice! There is a very good chance that I’ll own one of these someday. The 1930/31 Tudor Sedans are my favorite (black with yellow wheels is my favorite color scheme). These things are so beautiful stock. I can’t believe that people “hot rod” them. I’m just going to be honest; I think hot rods are ugly as sin. I’m all for some minor safety upgrades, such as seatbelts, turn signals etc, but once you bring chopped roofs, big ass V8s and ugly flame paint jobs into the picture, I’m out. IMO once all of that has been done, it’s NOT a Model A anymore.
I had a lot of fun working with classic car dealers and friends in those days. I do entertainment videos now :) These old cars with no synchros aren't the smoothest to shift. I'm pretty good at it but I'm usually the one videoing. I can rev just over and drop in gear
GAV valve, 1 turn CCW when cold, 2 cranks then chock, no need to chock after engine is running... Also, engine is rpm is too high, and drive should shift slower --to not grind gears.... The spare advance on the left goes down, not up after engine is starter..
Ahoi there. I just found out by accident, that there classic cars are WAY more affordable than I would've ever believed. Also, it seems the Ford T and A models are so numerous that they are especially affordable and have a good supply for spare parts. I might, indeed, be getting one myself one day. I have only one question: many "old" cars, i.e. 70s and 80s, do tend to be rather small for tall people. Do you have any idea if a Model A Ford would be anyhow suited for a rather tall person, i.e. 6'3" etc.?
LutzDerLurch Yes Model A and Model T Fords are bargains The older folk who grew up with them and loved them are a dying breed unfortunately. It is a good time to buy you an "A" I always enjoy filming and working with the old '30s cars. Check out my 1928 Packard video - Sam
I recently filmed a 1931 Ford Model A owned by Terry and Kathy OBryant at Black Bear car show in Chatsworth GA REPLY What part of Texas was this filmed?
That engine must have been warm when you started it so easily with no throttle opening or choke pulling. Shame if you ran it without advancing the spark at least. That engine could overheat. And yes, either double clutch between second and third or slow the idle speed to get rid of that crunch. The right rear bumper arm looks bent and should be replaced, as with mine. And that black firewall. You know it should be body colour. Now you can get picky with my Model A video.
Magnífico, pero no sé como funciona, ya que el indicador de nivel de combustible marca 0. O pónganle un corcho sintético, que diga más que el natural, como flotador. Tuve por 7 años un 29 4 ptas. convertible y el flotador no se desintegró por el contacto con la nafta. Rivera, Uruguay.
Yeah, but everyone I know does and my dad's generation all said they did, too. Sure, I had a 1980 Mustang that I could shift without using the clutch at all, but a transmission is supposed to be used as the manufacturer says it should be. Model A's were supposed to be double clutched.
The driver needs to double the clutch and take more time when changing gear to get a clean change, only way to change down cleanly. Thanks for posting.
It’s a very nice car!!! But blowing the horn and over-revving doesn’t hide the fact she is in need of a serious tune-up!!! If you are serious about keeping this car for prosperity..... look after her!! Or get someone to do it for you... the car is begging for it.... and worth it!!!! No offence intended,with Kind Regards,Henk Tulp,the Netherlands.
@@samspace81 so it’s non-synchro then why aren’t you double clutching. Just double clutch for the sake of the transmission. The grinding in between gears hurts me.
My dream is to have a car like this so I can drive on Sundays.
I like the way you think David. I appreciate you watching the Samspace81 channel.
Thank you very much for making this video available.
My pleasure sir!
harsh and yes he should enjoy everyday lol thanks for watching Samspace81, Gappie Al Kebabi

Espetacular ! Restauração Muito Bem Feita - Brazil
Beautiful car I love the color scheme
Glad you like it
First outside rear view mirror I've seen on one of these.
Can't really recall one either

I would love to an Model A as my daily driver!
You need one
that thing moves along nicely!
I really want to have a car like this,but at least is free to watch
Nice car, you can’t shift for shit but I see you’ve been told that years ago. Thanks for the video and your attitude in your responses!

And what kind of engine does it have? I love the sound of it.
That one had a stock engine, nothing fancy
V8, 4 cylinder?
Model A 4 banger

Only I wonder if a 6'3"Dude fits into the driver seat :)
LutzDerLurch Sort of. haha I'm 6'2" and its tight. People were shorter back then.
Lo venden y ahun esta disponible ☺️?
No longer for sale
Impressionante e raro, curioso e belo!!!Valeu!!!
Appreciate you watching!
Impressive! Would you say one of these can sustain 55 pretty good? I'm thinking of buying one.
Probably not
I never saw a Model A's with a shroud over the water pump. What concerns do you have about the water pump? Also, where did you find/buy your shroud?
Sorry I never got back to you, it was that way when I filmed it
I recently filmed a 1931 Ford Model A owned by Terry and Kathy OBryant at Black Bear car show in Chatsworth GA
REPLY What part of Texas was this filmed?
Dallas, near Harry hines blvd
12 bolt system?
You can see water leaking out of the water pump when the engine hood is lifted.
I believe it lol
Want one! Nice colour combination!
Absolutely 💯

You don't have to double clutch when shifting up, just wait the right amount of time.
Zzzzzzzz...
Cual era la velocidad máxima del Ford A en sus mejores epocas?
105km/h
Appreciate you both watching
Sharp!
Great work !!
He’s shifting too quickly - grinding gears.
Yes, everybody sure doesn't have the finesse
Lovely.
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
has an alternator on it?
some things you just cant live with. like generators
splendor, splendor
Very much appreciate the kind comment & your viewership. I love Model As

Follow me on Facebook, I have many clients I do advertising for. This car sold in 2014. Thanks facebook.com/samspace81/
That poor car seems like it gets handled pretty roughly lol
Its made it this long
@@samspace81 I suppose so but atleast advance the spark so it runs smoother
I appreciate your knowledge and viewership

You're supposed to double clutch!
you don't necessarily have to, as long as the gear is going smoothly
Yeah, but everyone I know does and my dad's generation all said they did, too. Sure, I had a 1980 Mustang that I could shift without using the clutch at all, but a transmission is supposed to be used as the manufacturer says it should be. Model A's were supposed to be double clutched.
Please at least let the engine speed die and let it "fall" into gear.
Muy lindo auto
Stout model A
the gears are not synchronized you have to double clutch ouch the gear grinding nice car
your leaking water in the engine better fix
parece motor do toyota bandeirantes

None taken and thank you Henk! I appreciate your viewership. I document classic car shows now
Early 31
At least learn how to drive it..
Some people are in tune with these old cars and non-syncro transmissions and some are not, like old Dave here. Thanks Danny!
@@samspace81 so it’s non-synchro then why aren’t you double clutching. Just double clutch for the sake of the transmission. The grinding in between gears hurts me.
Motor wastes power turning fan electric fan when ever possible.
Good to know, thanks for watching
Poor car
Thanks for watching
