This 1931 Ford Model A is a steel-bodied, five-window coupe that was acquired by the seller’s uncle in mid-1970s, and it sat as an incomplete project from 1993 until it was finished by the seller in 2025 using the collection of parts assembled by his family. The body was mounted on a custom-fabricated ’32 frame, and the top was chopped, the roof was filled with metal, and it was painted matte red. The car rides on drop axle up with a four-bar setup up front and a four-link Ford 9″ rear end, and it has four-wheel disc brakes and 15″ Jegs alloys with staggered tires. Power comes from a 350ci V8 topped by an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Demon carburetor, an intake scoop, an Accel HEI distributor, an aluminum radiator and electric fan, and baffled lake-style headers, and it is linked to a TH350 automatic and a rebuilt limited-slip differential with Strange Engineering axles. Inside are bucket seats, a billet shifter, Stewart-Warner gauges, and a Grant GT wheel. This five-window street rod is now offered at no reserve with service records, spare parts, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1931 Ford.
The steel body has a 4″ chop of the roofline, and the roof was filled and the floors were replaced with sheet metal before it was painted matte red. The seller notes there are rough spots in the fabrication and body work, and there are no turn signals or wipers. A battery disconnect switch is mounted on the right-rear corner, and a ’32 grille was utilized. The bottom of the windshield is scratched.
The car rides on a fabricated ’32 frame with a four-bar front end, a four-link rear end, and unassisted disc brakes both front and rear. The front drop axle has a transverse leaf spring and forged spindles, while coilovers are utilized out back. Staggered tires are mounted on the 15″ Jegs SSR Spike alloys.
Bucket seats mounted on sliders were added along with a billet shifter. The floor is covered in black vinyl, and the headliner is diamond-pattern metal.
A Grant GT wheel and Stewart-Warner gauges were fitted. The ~100 miles on the cluster represents the distance driven since completion of the build.
An aluminum fuel tank and the battery are mounted in the trunk, which has a support strut for the lid.
The 350ci V8 was built and installed in 2025 according to the seller. It is topped by an Edelbrock intake manifold, a Demon carburetor, and an intake scoop, and it has an Accel HEI distributor, an aluminum radiator and electric fan, and lake-style headers with baffles.
The seller reports that the transmission was rebuilt ~five years ago but not used until it was installed. The Ford 9″ axle was sourced from a Lincoln Versailles and narrowed, and the limited-slip differential was rebuilt and Strange Engineering axles were fitted.
The car is titled as a 1931 Ford using VIN A4446627.
