1930 Ford Model A

Flathead V8

This is an Original 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster on an Original 1932 Frame and mostly 1932 chassis. It is titled and registered in CA as a 1930 Ford in my name and used as a daily driver. This car has been driven to Bonneville, LA, Bakersfield, Las Vegas, Paso, Santa Maria, several years of the 150 mile Northern Ca Reliability Run........ you could hop in this thing and go where ever you want, I do. The story: This body was from a Stock Model A Deluxe Roadster that was a parade car for a Firehouse in Upstate New York, starting in 1935. The firemen maintained it and did a stock paint job on it many years ago. It has the stock interior, and rumble seat interior. At some point is was mated to an original 1932 ford frame, and became a hot rod. The windshield was chopped, and the stock top was cut down to fit. The parts: -Model A Deluxe Roadster body, including chopped original folding top and windshield, and interior including rumble seat and panels.

And it is over 80 years old. There are cracks and dents in the body, chips in the paint, rusty spots, tears or splits in the seats, oil spots, dirty motor, leaking strombergs, Blow by smoke, cracks in the glass, etc. Not all the gauges are hooked up, but they all work. If you are looking for a perfect paint job and interior, I want you to understand that this car is not in that condition. But if you want something fun to drive, with plenty of patina and history... I think this is it. Even in it's condition it has won several awards, which can go with the car if you want them. I have myself put at least 45,000 miles on the rebuilt motor. It does have some blow by, but these things always did. This car runs very well, easy to steer, handles turns very well, and rides very nice for an old hot rod. With the 3.54 rear end you can drive on the highway at 70-75 with ease. The stock seats are very comfortable. Starts and stops well. This car does NOT run hot, I have never had it overheat, even with the hood on. Normal driving temp range is 165-180 deg. I have had several guys with small block chevy's have a hard time keeping up with this car through the hills and turns. ;) The only reason I am selling this car is I have found a property I want to purchase, so please no offers for trades. Car is sold as is where is, there is no warranty. This car is also for sale locally, so this listing may end if sold locally.
