1929 Ford Hot Rod For Sale by Californiacar.com 1929 Ford Hot Rod For Sale This sweet traditional style Hot Rod checks all the boxes. Timeless looks, nice quality and condition and a blast to drive. The red Kelsey Hayes wires with chrome spokes, the big and little tire combo, the jet black paint and blazing hot flames...this is the Dictionary icon image of a Hot Rod. The car was built in the late 1970's in the mid west and it came to California some time later. The car has been minimally driven and always garage stored and it still looks amazingly sweet. I believe the 7840 miles on the odometer is right. This was a complete ground up build, using a high quality Anderson glass 29 body, aluminum louvered hood and 32 Ford grille. Fit and finish is very nice and the flames and striping are very nicely done. Interior is done in a great blood red color. Wiring and all switches are functional. The top is a removeable "Carson" style unit that un-clips easily and comes off for open air motoring. The seats and panels are done in a very supple leather and look fantastic. Nice! Dash is nicely pinstriped and loaded with classic Stewart Warner instruments. The top is in excellent shape in tan canvas. Remember...this is a Carson top...not a folding top. Easy lift on and off. Letterbox style rear window . Fuel cap in the rear cowl. Very clean striping work! Blue dot taillights. Check out the nicely done "female form" striping work around the license plate! Clean California title...registered as a 29 Ford. It has been in storage for the past couple years, so registration is not current. I love the look of these fenderless rods...no frills, lots of thrills...just too cool. NSRA sticker in the windshield. Very "Watson style" flame work. The drivetrain is the classic small block Chevy 327 from a Corvette with an automatic trans. More than enough power, and fantastic reliability and serviceability. The car has really not been driven much at all since it was completed. There are a couple of stone chips here and there and only the most minor wear. The tires have excellent tread with little sign of use. Passenger front was low...I just "slimed" it now it seems to hold. The ride height is at a very comfortable level...not a ground scraping rat rod...this is one you can run! Fantastic Racemaster tires out back...check out that flat track style tread pattern! I forgot to snap an engine photo...I can email one to interested parties though . It is quite clean with chrome valve covers and air cleaners, If there are any particular images you would like to see...please just ask and I will get them to you. Suspension is all quite clean and shiny. Underside of the car has a light layer of dust from driving...but is still clean and shiny. There is an exhaust leak at the muffler, but it sounds a little meaner that way. It has been sitting for a few years...I just put in a brand new battery. It runs great. I would suggest a mechanical check-up before putting back into serious use (just for safety's sake) Love this shot... the 32 Ford grille, the flames, the louvers...cant get much better than this! One of the best parts about this car is that it is not a wallet buster. In a world of mega dollar hot rods, this is a car that will fit right in with the crowd with an investment of about the same coin as buying a silly new PT Cruiser at the local dealer. And which one will you feel cooler being seen in?
