1931 Ford

Model A

Description

HIGHLIGHTS: With many street rods of the 1980s and 1990s beginning to look outdated as we approach 2023, this tasteful '31 Model A has aged gracefully. With a beautiful paint job, and a buzzy little Ford 2.8L V6 under the hood, this Model A could be a fun weekend cruiser!

BODY OVERVIEW: The body on this Ford appears straight, and it shows nicely. Even the fiberglass aftermarket fenders are in great shape! Having covered over 26,000 miles since it was completed, this Model A shows a low amount of 'road rash'--quite the pleasant surprise!

PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The paint is not new, but it was a job well done when new and has held up very well! It still has a brilliant shine and plenty of depth, and shows very nicely. The cream color is perhaps an unusual choice for a street rod, but it gives this car a nice classic feel and helps it stand out in a sea of red and black.

INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior condition is the only area where this car doesn't shine quite as brightly. Someone started installing black leather power seats, but did not complete the job. The headliner is also partially installed. One look at the interior of this car reveals that there is not much left to complete it, and the important stuff (like the gorgeous aftermarket gauges) appear to be installed properly and working correctly.

MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this is more or less a turn-key vehicle that is ready to go. Under the hood sits the Ford 2.8L V6 out of a mid-1970s Mercury Capri. This may at first seem like a peculiar choice, but take a look at how well that V6 fits into an unmodified Model A engine bay! It provides more than enough power for this vehicle, and repair access appears to be pretty straight forward. Hooked up to a Ford transmission of the same era, it is clear this car was built with the intention to drive–and driven it has been! Other mechanical upgrades include dual saddle gas tanks, power rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, and coilover shocks.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The way it runs and looks! The outside fit and finish is very good quality, and it really seems to be dialed in mechanically.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're looking for a car that is going to require zero effort or repairs to enjoy, this is not it.

DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? Just someone to finish the interior!

WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Street rodders everywhere we imagine! This is a classic '31 Ford that has a slick look and is bound to seem familiar to anyone that sees it, even if they've never seen it before.
