1930 Ford Coupe Hot Rod
Current Mileage: 4,382
STORY
Built by a traditional hot rod enthusiast, this build has a great mix of original and tasteful aftermarket parts. Careful detail was paid to making sure that any aftermarket parts are historically accurate for a hot rod built pre 1960’s. The Ford Model A coupe body only received one small patch panel before it was shot in a commercial grade grey primer. If a new owner wants to take the car to the next level, there is an opportunity to finish the bodywork and paint the body. (Although many love it the way it is!) The chassis and running gear have all received a paint or equivalent protective finish.
The car has signs of wear and is not perfect (cosmetically). However, it has been taken care of very well. Always stored in dry, indoor conditions year round. I have never done burnouts or drag racing events with it. It has been a great, reliable hot rod and very popular at shows around the upper Midwest.
The mileage is current to the hopped up flathead that was completely machined and rebuilt in 2013. I’d love to see the car go to a person who loves traditional hot rods and continue to share it with others who appreciate them too.
