This ’30 Ford Model A is a steel-bodied, five-window coupe that was built on a Total Cost Involved frame by the seller’s nephew, with finishing work performed by the seller. Power comes from a 350ci GM V8 topped by a Mooneyham supercharger and a Holley carburetor with a Weiand mount, and it is linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ rear end. The car rides on steel wheels with baby moons and chrome accents as well as a modified suspension with a drop axle, a four-bar front setup, and a four-link rear end with adjustable coilovers. It also has disc brakes and yellow paintwork with laced flames and a louvered hood, and inside is a Bluetooth-capable stereo, a Lokar shifter, a tilt column, power windows, and an engine-turned panel with Stewart-Warner gauges. Acquired by the seller in 2004, this Model A hot rod is now offered with a clean California title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1929 Ford.
The seller tells us their nephew started with a steel five-window coupe body and filled the roof. The fenders are fiberglass, and the yellow paintwork and laced flames were applied c. 2002. The hood is louvered, and the front turn signals are integrated into the headlights mounted on the light bar.
The steel wheels were powder-coated dark silver and have chrome accents, baby moons, and staggered Cooper Cobra tires mounted. The car has front disc brakes and a power booster. The front end is a drop axle with a four-bar setup and a transverse leaf spring, and the rear is a four-link setup with adjustable coilovers.
The custom interior has Java vinyl upholstery with hidden speakers for the Bluetooth-capable stereo. Power windows were also fitted.
The banjo-style wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and a Lokar shifter and pedals were also installed. The Stewart-Warner gauges are set in an engine-turned panel, and the seller has driven the car ~450 miles.
The 350ci V8 is topped by a Mooneyham supercharger, a Weiand carburetor plate, and a Holley carburetor with a B&M dual intake. Dart II-logo valve covers were used, and the dual exhaust system has cutouts. The fuel lines were replaced within the last year according to the seller.
The 350 three-speed automatic is linked to a Ford 9″ rear end.
Records from the build are displayed in the gallery. The car is titled as a 1931 Ford in California, though the seller is unable to locate VIN A3827547.
