1929 Ford Model A Fast
1929 Ford Model A, 5 Window Chopped Coupe, Traditional Hot Rod
This awesome original 29 Ford Steel Bodied Traditional Hot Rod was Professionally Custom Built by Brian Lee Speed and Customs and was partially sponsored by McLeod Racing, LLC dubbed The McLeod Flathead Coupe. The car was awarded the prestigious People's Choice Award at the Daytona Bike Week Turkey Run after its completion in 2014 which is the only award given out at the event. As seen in the last photo. It has also been featured in a couple of magazines that I know of since its conception (RODZ 2016 and 2017) to name a few. This car was built to represent a Vintage Traditional Hot Rod from top to bottom, so it has that nice old school look as well as thatdistinctive andawesome deep flat head sound.
This car runs and drives great. I have driven the car to car shows on several 95 plus degree days and the car has never run hot nor overheated. It is a solid well built and well maintained car that has gotten a lot of attention at every car show that it has ever attended, its always a crowd favorite. The body is sprayed with Limco paint in Green which shows very well with some imperfections as expected as the car is a driver. The interior seats and panels are all covered in Distressed Buffalo Leather the headliner is tweed and both are in great condition, however the carpet shows some minor wear in places. Other than the obvious this car was built with all brand new parts as described below. The winning bidder will also receive all of the documentation that I have on the car as well. I am selling this car with some reservations, so with that said I am not interested in any trades or deals. Also I have a video of the the car starting and running, I just couldn't get it to load but I willbe glad to email it to anyone who is interested. Shipping arrangements need to be made by the buyer and I will work with your shipping company if need be.
$500 deposit needs to be made within 24 hours of the sale and the balance must be paid In full and cleared before the release of the car. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. The car is located in Raleigh North Carolina and if you can, I encourage all bidders to look at it in person, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks and Good Luck!
