This Ford Model A got away, but there are more like it here.

1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe Hot Rod

Sold for $19,500 on 5/20/19

This Ford Model A hot rod was built between July 2011 and January 2014 and features a steel Sport Coupe body on 1932 Ford frame rails. Power is provided by a 24-stud flathead V8, which has been rebuilt and is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission. The interior was refurbished with brown tuck-and-roll upholstery, and other equipment includes a Deuce grille, dual Stromberg carburetors, hydraulic brakes, Firestone tires, and a rebuilt 1932 Ford steering box. This Model A hot rod has been driven 5k miles since the build was completed, and it was acquired by the seller a year ago. Recent maintenance included a fluid change and a new battery. The car is titled in California as a 1929 Ford.

Finished in tan with a black fabric top, the steel Sport Coupe body was chopped and received a bare-metal repaint during the build as pictured in the gallery. A windshield sun visor and a 1932 Ford grille have also been installed. The color-matched Deuce rails are from American Stamping Corporation and were set up by Anthony Castaneda of Loco Moto in Anaheim, California with a Model A front crossmember and an X-brace center crossmember.

The wide-5 wheels feature 1939 Ford Deluxe hubcaps and are mounted with Firestone tires that measure 5.5” in width up front and 7.5” out back. The car features a rebuilt 1932 Ford steering box, hydraulic drum brakes, and transverse leaf spring suspension.

Brown tuck-and-roll upholstery covers the bench seat, door panels, and side panels. Auxiliary gauges are attached below the factory instrumentation, and the interior is also equipped with lap belts, door pockets, a dome light, and a banjo steering wheel. The seller added 500 miles over the past year, and approximately 5k miles have been covered since the completion of the build.

The rebuilt 24-stud flathead V8 is equipped with rebuilt large-logo Stromberg 97 carburetors and backed by a 3-speed manual gearbox. The water pumps have also been rebuilt, and recent maintenance included a fluid change and new battery.

The seller notes the rear end leaks gear oil, and a number of photos from the 2011-2014 build process can be seen in the gallery below.
