Up for sale is my 1930 Ford Model A coupe. It's one of the cleanest unmolested original paint cars you will ever find. I would estimate that 99% of the paint is original. Spots on the fenders where the paint is gone reveal virgin Henry Ford steel.
The car has a "B" motor in it, think maybe a 1933 looking at the fan blades. This swap happened quite some time ago.
I bought this car from an old timer in California in 2014. Since I got it back to Wisconsin I haven't done anything to it other than put a set of 1935 Ford wire wheels on it. It needs a 6 volt battery the one that is in the car is junk. I did have the car running for a little while, nd it seemed to run good without any strange noises or smoke. To drive this car the brakes are going to have to be gone through just to be safe. Somebody swapped in old Ford hydraulic backing plates and wheel cylinders and I suspect the wheel cylinders will have to be rebuilt.
There are a couple of tiny spots as shown in the pictures that will require a small amount of rust repair. The lower drivers side cowl, nd the passenger side dog leg behind the door. Everything else looks absolutely fantastic. The doors open and close very nicely, nd the windows roll up and down very smooth. All the glass is good, nd the interior is in great shape.
My plans for the car were to build a fenderless hot rod coupe on 32 framerails. Part of the reason I haven't done anything with the car was because of an internal dialogue back and forth between just driving the car as is, r cutting it up and making it into a hot rod. I fairly think that it can be called a survivor car, nd for that reason I do hesitate to cut it up. My game plan has changed, nd I'm selling this car so I don't need to make that choice.
If the high bidder hits the buy it now I will include a 59ab flathead v8 and a pile of 39 style transmissions and parts. This would make a wicked Av8 coupe with fenders and a flathead hidden under the hood just the way the car sits now. The 35 wheels and tires will not go with this car, n their place will be a set of 1934 Ford wire wheels powder coated black with decent tires. (the last picture shows the wheels that will be included)
You can call me with questions or offers.
I won't be available to talk from Friday the 23rd at 4pm through Sunday the 25th at 4pm.
