This ’30 Ford Model A is a steel-bodied, five-window coupe that was purchased by the seller in 2000, and the hot rod was completed around 2020. It is powered by a 324ci Oldsmobile V8 topped by two Rochesters and linked to a Borg-Warner T-85 three-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a Dana 44 rear end. The ’30 frame was boxed and Z’d, and the steel body is channeled 4.5″ over it and has a louvered decklid. The car rides on 16″ steel wheels with a leaf-spring suspension and drum brakes, and custom details continue inside with a ’36 HaDees heater, a ’38 Ford dashboard, a ’36 Mercedes-Benz firewall, ’47 Mercury wheel, and a ’32 Ford cowl vent. Driven ~300 miles since it was completed, this five-window hot rod is now offered with a clean Washington title in the seller’s name.
