This replica of a Ford Model A convertible was produced by Glassic Industries around 1967, and it has been modified with the installation of a Chevrolet 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The blue-over-white car is built on the frame and underpinnings of an International Scout 800A. Equipment includes a white convertible top, staggered-width 15″ wheels, front disc and rear drum brakes, an Edelbrock carburetor, exhaust headers, a roll bar, a B&M shifter, and lap belts. The current owner acquired the car in mid-2023 out of Maryland. This Model A replica is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Nevada title that describes the car as a 1967 ASVE Ford.
Glassic Industries Inc of West Palm Beach, Florida, began production of its “Contemporary Reproduction” of the Ford Model A in 1966. The cars were built on the chassis and running gear of the International Scout 800A and featured fiberglass bodies. Approximately 300 Scout 152ci four-cylinder–powered examples were built through 1971, according to GlassicAnnex.org. Glassic powered its vehicles with Ford 302ci V8 engines beginning around 1972, and a company called Replicars Inc took over the business in 1975 and produced 302-powered examples through 1980.
The fiberglass bodywork of this replica has been repainted in metallic blue and features a white convertible top, a grille guard, a radiator-surround ornament, fenders, bright bumper-like sections, A-pillar-mounted side mirrors, and diamond-plate running boards as well as headlights, taillamps, and turn signals. The seller notes pitting on some of the brightwork.
Staggered-width 15″ wheels are mounted with 205/65 Sailun Atrezzo SH402 front tires and 295/50 Telstar Turbostar G/T rear rubber. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums.
The cabin features a bench seat upholstered in white vinyl, which is carried over to the door panels and the dashboard. The interior also has a B&M shifter, lap belts, and a roll bar.
An A1C steering wheel sits ahead of a suite of AutoMeter gauges including a 120-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, and true mileage is unknown.
The Chevrolet 350ci V8 was installed under prior ownership and is augmented by a single Edelbrock carburetor, flame-pattern rocker covers, an aftermarket camshaft, and tubular exhaust headers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission that was installed under previous ownership. Corrosion is noted on underbody components.
The serial number shown on the identification plate pictured above is in the range of other Glassic Model A–style replicas that are reported to have been built in 1967.
The Nevada title lists the car as a 1967 ASVE Ford.
