"1930 Ford Model A Coupe

Why are Chevy small blocks readily used in Ford builds? �According to a forum member at Ford-trucks.com, ""350's are cheap to build up. �Aftermarket parts are inexpensive, and plentiful. �A 350 is a project one can build on a shoe string budget.� Secondly, they're good beginner motors. �You don't have to have much of a performance building background to get a decent 350. �Third, GM stuff is amazingly interchangeable.� Lastly, compared the price of aftermarket SB Chevy to SB Ford stuff? �Given some of the stuff is priced the same, but some of it has a huge price difference.""

For consignment, a 1930 Ford Model A coupe showing 1,390 miles which are not actual.� This is a steel bodied car that's got lots of new parts and a slew of trophies from shows dating back to 2012.� The old adage ""you couldn't build it for that"" is applicable here as everything from suspension to interior to fuel delivery and much more has received attention with new parts or rebuilds in recent years.� And it's got a 350!�

Exterior
Two stage Sinful Cinnamon, (not to be confused with Dodge's similar Sinamon Stick), covers this street rod with an orangish brown hue that is deep and bouncing light off of every angle. �The smooth coverage is complemented by a pinstripe flourish on each rear fender and matched in reflective properties by all of the chrome and polished metal that adorns the rod. �This includes the grille shell, light housing, mirrors, exposed engine, horn, and American Racing Torque Thrust wheels, 14-inch in front and 15-inch in back with staggered size tires.� In profile, the cab rises over a rounded rear and elongated front and she sits at a pronounced rake which is all kinds of cool! �One paint nick is the only imperfection on the outstanding exterior of this raked and ready rod!�

Interior
Flames are artfully embossed in the two tone tan ultimate leather that serves as the door panels and these flames also lick through the headliner above. �Seats from an '86 Fiero were also covered in ultimate leather and embossed with 30 COUPE on the seat backs and are in great condition.� A wood rimmed Grant steering wheel tops a body colored tilt column leading to a Wabbit wooden dash, home to Classic Instrument gauges, indicator lights, and metal knobs and it's all spectacularly clean and tidy.� A Lokar shifter rises from the floor and its base doubles as a cup holding console in matching tan faux leather.� On the overhead console, an AM/FM/CD radio is mounted and below our feet, a luxurious tan carpet covers the floor and the finished trunk repeats the materials and colors of the cabin interior, including this carpet.�

Drivetrain
The engine could win shows on its own, a 350ci V8 with dual 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetors and induction air filters on top of a polished high rise intake manifold. �A new fuel pump, lines, filter and pressure gauge are on board as well as tune up items including cap and rotor.� Coated headers are intertwined, (but not touching, yellow ignition wires which match the painted block.� Rowing this rod is a TH350 3-speed automatic sending power to the Ford 8.8"" axle in back.� Power disc brakes are up front and power drums in the back. �A Unisteer rack and pinion is also onboard.�

Undercarriage
Super clean underneath, highlighted by a chrome oil pan and polished differential cover, along with a pair of Flowtech Purple Hornie mufflers through which the dual exhaust flows on their way to square chrome tips out back.� It's dry underneath as well, with only some oil sling noticed on the pipes near the rear U-joint.� The front has been dropped and carries a transverse leaf spring while ladder bars with coil overs are fitted in the back.�

Drive-Ability
Who doesn't love a well sorted 30's Ford coupe with a stout engine, some modern amenities and a clean interior?� This fanciful ride starts up with a substantial roar from the 8 cans, and once shifted into Drive, moves forward like lava on wheels, smooth and fast and powerful.� She handles straight and true and has more than enough power underfoot and visibility is helped by side mirrors on both sides. �Nothing fails to operate on this car and we reluctantly point the chrome laden nose towards the mall so this car can find a spot on our floor to woo our guests and potential buyers.� While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.��

No welding.� No painting.� No engine building.� All you need to do is engage your hand, first to sign on the dotted line and second, to turn the key and take this beauty home.� The color may be called ""sinful"" but the real sin would be for you to not own this car!� The street rod community awaits its newest member, or a new ride from an old member, (if that's you).� Our operators are standing by!� Tell them you're interested in stock number 7351 and we'll get right to work!
