Description of 1929 Ford Model A

This is the nicest original car I have found in 50+ years of collecting and restoring Model A's. I would like to restore this one too, but I turned 81 in April and not sure I have another one in me.
I am currently running this car on local club tours. It is a strong runner and I know it has been rebuilt recently, but I don't have any details or particulars on the rebuild or who did the work. I dropped the pan to clean it out and change the oil. I checked all the rod clearances and they all check .0015". The compression is 60# +/-2 PSI across all four. The car is 95-99% complete from front center bumper clamp to original rear tail light. I has all the stuff that is usually missing - center bumper clamp, orig. horn, lights, engine pans, 2-blade fan, electric wiper, generator, floor mat, oval windows, correct rear window, nice correct belt molding, popout switch, Zenith Carb. & Ford coil. The sheet metal on this car is fantastic. I don't believe there is any bondo or welding or any rust out. The lower part of the right front fender has a couple small dents. It might take me an hour or two to fix. There are NO breaks in any of the fender beads! It currently has a vacuum wiper installed, but I am including a great working wiper that is correct for this car. The original horn works, but needs to be hooked up. The radiator is really nice and the car runs cool. It has a new battery and a new rubber floor mat. The spare is a Firestone and the four on the ground are whitewalls, OK for local touring, but I would not set out cross country on them. Note that this car has the correct very rare 2-piece belt molding at the bottom of the top that so many Coupes are missing.
The only things I can see that it needs is shock links, metal valve stems and covers for the tubes, keys for the door and trunk handle and ribbed matting for the running boards. I am certain the shocks will need rebuilding.
I checked the engine number A4332046 and that is a Feb. 1931 number. So that further reinforces my thought that this engine was recently rebuilt. The number does match the title and when you get it you could have the number re-stamped to a 1929 engine number. Engines were often changed in these cars and the stateregistrarsoften deal with that, but I would not do it until after you register the car with this current number.
Check the many pictures. Note the paint chipping on the last photos. Check out the trim on the upper part of the door panels. Odometer shows 82,318 miles, no idea but think it may be original. I put over 150 of those miles on this week. Obviouslythis car has never be in snow or salt road conditions. It would be ideal if you could view and drive this car. If you are going to the National Meet in Branson in late June we could arrange that. I will be in the swap meet selling my 50+ year collection of Model A parts. This is the kind of car you want to start with if you want to build a high point national winner.
The car is in Northwest Arkansas near Rogers and Bentonville. $500 deposit (PayPal) within 24 hours of auction end to hold this car.
