This 1931 Ford Model A five-window coupe was built into a hot rod before being purchased by the seller’s mother in 2005. The steel body and fiberglass hood are finished in metallic Raspberry, and power is provided by a 340ci Chrysler V8 paired with a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The seller acquired the car in 2018 after a period of storage, after which the fuel system was serviced, the water pump was replaced, and an ignition tune-up was performed. Equipment includes a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum radiator, lakester-style headers, a fiberglass hood, teardrop taillights, a third brake light, a Grant steering wheel, Classic Instruments gauges, and 15″ chrome wheels. This Model A hot rod is now offered with an Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The steel five-window body and fiberglass hood are finished in metallic Raspberry with white pinstriping, per the seller. Details include a chrome front spreader bar, a windshield visor, a black roof filler, tinted glass, teardrop-style blue-dot taillights, an LED third brake lamp, and lakester-style exhaust headers. A crack on the tail panel is pictured in the gallery along with other blemishes. The seller notes that the factory grille is included in the sale.
The car rides on a front drop axle with a transverse leaf spring along with rear radius rods. The 15″ big and little chrome wheels wear baby moon hubcaps and are wrapped in 195/55 Kenda front tires and 29×15″ Mickey Thompson rear tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums.
The interior is trimmed in two-tone pink cloth with white accents on the bucket seats and side panels along with pink carpeting and a painted dash. A digital stereo unit is mounted ahead of the passenger seat, and a ratcheting floor shifter is installed. The seller notes the carpet in the cab and trunk were replaced under current ownership.
A polished instrument bezel in the center of the dash houses Classic Instruments gauges consisting of a 120-mph speedometer flanked by a tachometer and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, temperature, and voltage. The Grant steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column ahead of an analog clock.
The Chrysler 340ci V8 features an aluminum intake manifold and a Holley four-barrel carburetor. An aluminum radiator is installed along with a Hilborn-style air scoop, and the seller notes that the carburetor was rebuilt and the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, and water pump were replaced under current ownership. A spare billet aluminum air filter is said to accompany the car.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Chrysler 727 TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission.
The Arizona title carries a Not Actual Mileage notation.
