This ’28 Ford is a steel-bodied coupe that was built into a rat rod by Buford Clonts in Tennessee in the fall of 2021, according to the seller. The car rides on a fabricated square-tube chassis with adjustable air suspension and staggered Centerline wheels, and the aircraft-inspired build features exposed rivets, drilled accents, and a bare-metal cockpit. The car is powered by a built 454ci GM V8 with 0.060″-over Keith Black pistons, Grumpy Jenkins heads, zoomie headers, and dual Holley 600cfm carburetors, and it is linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end with a 3.89 gear ratio. Acquired by the seller in 2023 and driven 200 miles since completion, this rat rod is now offered with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The Ford steel bodywork is bare metal with a chopped top, a drilled visor, exposed rivets, and both real and faux corrosion.

The car rides on an adjustable air suspension with a drop front axle, radius rods with drilled trim, and a multi-link rear end. The satin-black 15″ Center Line Drag wheels have staggered tires mounted, and the car has front disc brakes.

The bare-metal cabin has drilled accents and a TCI shifter mounted on the fabricated transmission tunnel.

A three-spoke wheel is mounted on a fabricated column with drilled accents. Switchgear, a trio of gauges, and a tachometer are mounted on the dashboard. The seller estimates the car has been driven ~200 miles since completion of the build.

Power is from a built 454ci GM V8 with 0.060″-over Keith Black pistons, Grumpy Jenkins heads, zoomie headers, and dual Holley 600cfm carburetors on a Weiand tunnel-ram intake manifold.

The seller tells us the transmission is a TH400 with a 2,800-rpm stall converter linked to a Ford 9″ rear end with 3.89 gears. The chassis is fabricated from 2×4″ square tubing.

The car is titled as a 1928 Ford using VIN A32516 as stamped above.
