1930 Ford Model A

I built this 1929 bodied 1930 registered Model A Tudor a few years back. I have decided to sell it as I rarely use it ( 710 Miles only since build ). As you can see from the photos this wasn't a thrown together "Rat Rod build ", don't get me wrong I love Rat Rods, but this is kind of a mix between the two and more a traditional rod. The body started as a fair rough body of which I installed replacement panels and removed dents rust etc.. The frame is an original 1929 Model a frame fully boxed, lengthened slightly, and kicked in the rear to provide better stance. The Mustang 8.8 rear end is supposed to have a Richmond Locker mechanism in it ( I was told by previous owner ) and I believe this to be true, as I can hear it ratcheting on tight turns. The engine was a pretty stout build 302 roller engine, with roller cam, lifters and rockers. The heads are Ford 289 ( I believe 1966 ) with about $2000.00 worth of head work including valve job. The Tremic 5 speed comes from a Mustang, as well does the aluminum drive shaft. Cooling is via aluminum radiator, and electric fan. The steering box is reversed Corvair, the front drop axle is a new tube type, and supports Chevy type disc brakes on new repo. early Ford spindles. The wide whites are Cokers in front and BFG Silvertown Radials in rear. The 2 seats are basic small buckets, mounted directly on the floor, the pedals are also mounted on the floor, and this is actually quite comfortable for me at 5 foot 7 or so inches. I have had taller people sit in car and find it does fit them ( 6 footers ) , but better come sit in it to be sure. The clutch is a Ram hydraulic unit, the starter and alternator are also new aftermarket items. All in all this rod made me pretty proud as a builder and driver. I have many more projects to build, and therefore somebody is going to gat a hell of a deal. This is a no reserve auction, so once started it will sell to the highest bidder. The starting bid wouldn't even cover the parts cost let alone the build. If you have any questions please ask, schedule a visit to check it out in person prior to bidding. Remember bidding is an agreement to purchase, don't bid if you are unsure. The Clear Ontario registration as a 1930 Ford Model A is in my name and ready to be transferred to the new owner. Buy in time to enjoy the Summer car show circuit, take to the Syracuse Nationals or just drive either way, this is a ton of car for the money. Car sold as is, no warranties implied or expressed.
