Up for sale is a 1931 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Rat Rod Project Car. The car has a 337 cubic inch '49 Lincoln Flathead V8 hooked up to a '39 Ford 3 speed manual transmission. Connected to the transmission is the original Model A drive shaft and original 3rd member. The car has a brand new aluminum radiator and an aluminum fuel cell. Juice brakes have been installed with all new wheel cylinders, springs, shoes and hoses. The brake drums are used but still have plenty of life left. It has a new Vega steering box with an Ididit tilt steering column and the steering wheel from a '49 Buick. It has frenched tail lights from a '59 Eldorado (reproduction). Body is in good shape with little rust. I started creating a 'delivery sedan' type style to the car. I started building a clam shell style door on the rear of the body. I have re-enforced the inner body structure with steel. The wood is still in place with not much rot. The chassis has been extended 11 inches in front of the firewall to accommodate the flathead V8. The frame has also had boxing plates welded to the inner frame for rigidity. The wheels are original Ford steel rims from the 1940s. The front tires are NOS US Royal from the 1950s and are very usable. The headlights are from a '35 Ford truck. The car comes with a brand new Painless brand wiring harness and fuse box along with new Stewart-Warner Oil Temp and Water Temp gauges. The car also includes an original set of front seats. I am selling the car because I don't have the time to finish it. The car is not currently running but has a clear California title currently registered as 'Non-Operational' A nice set of 1931 California license plates are included with the car but they are not registered to the car. To the best of my knowledge the plates are clear and not assigned to any other vehicles. A non-refundable deposit of $500 via Pay Pal due within 24 hours of auction end. Full payment due within 7 days of auction end. Balance to be paid with a cashiers check from a national bank or Wells Fargo Bank customers may transfer funds into my Wells Fargo account.

If more time is needed please contact me. I will consider offers. Please ask any questions before bidding. I do not recommend this car for a first time car project.
