1931 Ford Model A

1931 Ford Model A - 5 Window Coupe The Model A was Ford Motor Companys second huge market success following in line with the Model T. Interestingly not only did it have huge success originally but had a revival later in life as this era of car became a staple in the hot rodder and custom car community. Being that they were one of the most common cars in their time they were well represented in the media so it is no surprise they were a go-to for show car enthusiasts. Unfortunately due to their steel construction they have slowly become harder to get your hands on over time. That is what makes beautiful all steel cars like this 5 Window Coupe so awesome to sill have around. This car was very well built and combines old school touches with performance and modern upgrades to create the ultimate Hot Rod. The current owner purchased the car in 2012 out of Houston, Texas and it has been used as a fair time weather weekend show car since being completed. With only 446 miles on it since finished the car still looks very fresh. The solid steel body is in excellent condition and painted in a 1977 Ford Vista Orange base coat/clear coat paint that has an excellent finish. You see so many of these cars getting cut up during their modifications so this one being unchopped actually makes it really stand out in a great way. A 32 grill shell has been added up front and it also has a recessed firewall. The grill has a nice shine and is framed by large chrome circle headlights. In back it has LED tear drop taillights and all of the electrical is working properly. The glass is all in good shape and the car still has the pop out front windshield. It rides on a set of Weld Racing wheels with BF Goodrich tires and very cool knock off style center caps in back. The car is run without the hood to show off the 355 V8 roller motor that gets those tires turning. It has been dressed up from top to bottom with nice chrome valve covers, a polished intake, Holley Street Avenger 750cfm carburetor, chrome air cleaner, Cool Flex hoses, billet brackets, polished pulleys, a custom oil pan and so much more. The block and heads are also painted to match the body for a clean cohesive look. In fact the entire TCI chassis and a large number of undercarriage components are painted to match making it very worthy of showing off. The car sounds great and with headers and cutouts into 3 inch exhaust through Thrust mufflers. Cooling is provided by the aftermarket Walker radiator with a large electric fan. Combined with the engine is a 700R4 automatic transmission and Ford 8.8 inch rear end. The car does come already with a painted extra pos-track rear pumpkin. The 6 inch drop axle is nicely painted and a large portion of the exposed suspension is all polished or chrome. Underneath the car a power brake booster has been hidden and it has disc front/drum rear. The electrical is an EZ Wiring harness and the list of high end components goes on and on. It also has a Vega steering box a
