Item location: Greensburg, Pennsylvania, United States
Description:
1930 Ford Model A
Not your typical back-yard build. Car was extremely well thought out & hand-built (from ignition switch to license plate brackets) w/the utmost attention to detail. Car took 4+ years to build, finished in 2012, & has been driven less than 100 miles per year. Truly must be seen to be appreciated.Body:
Orig Henry Ford steel w/4-in chop, 2-in channel over a professionally built 2x3 frame. Orig windshield, orig steel visor, & a heavily-modified NOS 1939 Plymouth grille. Custom soft top easily snaps on & off. Headlights are Guide 682-C style & 1930 Ford tail lights.
Suspension:
Custom triangulated 4-link w/QA-1 adjustable coil-overs & a 1970-era Oldsmobile rear w/drum brakes. Orig Ford straight axle, split bones w/39-42 style front drum brakes w/all new wheel cylinders/bearings, etc., & Vega steering box.
Drivetrain:
1974 SBC w/heavy cam & hydraulic lifters, timing gears, high volume oil pump, Edelbrock single-plane aluminum intake, & old-school distributor w/Accel point-eliminator kit. Muncie M20 4-speed w/custom driveshaft. (have videos of car running)
Interior:
Steel dash is hand-built, orig dash rail (very straight) w/1956 Kaiser gauge cluster. Seats are 40's/50's hand-made steel bomber seats w/authentic US military belts/shoulder harnesses. Custom 13-gal aluminum gas tank & a brand new American Autowire harness throughout.
Overall, there is way too much to list on this car, there are so many little details that set the look of this car off & it gets tons of attention everywhere it goes. This thing has the "rat rod" look to it w/the rough body (entire body was media blasted & covered with DP90), which was exactly what I was looking for, but at the same time it is a great reliable ride. Car was built right. Vehicle also for sale locally & seller reserves the right to stop auction at any time.
