This 1929 Ford Model A is believed to have been built into a street rod around 1987 for “Bullet” Bob Hayes, the two-time Olympic gold medal sprinter and Hall of Fame wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. The steel Tudor body features a 2″ chop and was painted teal with a black roof, and it rides on a modified coil-spring suspension with an independent front and 15″ alloy wheels with spinner caps. The car is powered by a 400ci Chevrolet V8 with a Holley carburetor, headers, and a dual exhaust system, and the automatic transmission is linked to a Ford 8″ rear end with a Panhard bar. The interior was also customized with a wood-rimmed steering wheel on a tilt column, VDO gauges, a B&M shifter, and a Pioneer cassette radio. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this Model A street rod is now offered with a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1929 Ford.
The seller tells us the bodywork and fenders are steel, and the roof was chopped ~2″ during the build. The teal paintwork is contrasted by the black vinyl on the roof. Flaws are depicted in the gallery, and louvered side panels for the hood are included and shown in a photo in the gallery.
The car rides on a coil-spring suspension with an independent front end, rack-and-pinion steering, and a Panhard bar for the Ford 8″ axle. Braking is handled by drums, and the 15″ alloy wheels have faux spinner caps and staggered tires mounted. The lower ball joints were replaced in July 2025.
Bucket seats are trimmed in two-tone upholstery, and a B&M shifter and a Pioneer cassette radio were installed.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and VDO gauges were used. The seller has driven 250 of the 5,250 miles indicated.
The 400ci V8 is topped by a Holley carburetor. The tubular headers are linked to a dual exhaust system with cutouts and glasspacks.
Per the seller, the transmission is a TH400 automatic, and the rear end is a Ford 8″ axle.
The car is titled as a 1929 Ford using VIN A2369787. A New Hampshire state-assigned VIN is also displayed in the gallery.
