For Sale: 1930 Ford Model A 5 Window Coupe in Lutz, Florida

A rumble seat 1930 Ford Model A coupe always has appeal. But when you can get one that was nicely restored and has a great color package - and it's offered at an unbeatable price - then you know you're looking at a fleeting opportunity.


The Model A was the Ford Motor Company's dive into style, and a coupe like this was one of the best ways they showed it. This starts with the deep black paint that looks great while still appearing period-correct. This really makes the orange wheels pop. And the reason why these colors look so good is because this coupe went through a complete restoration about 10 years ago, and it has been treated with care ever since. You can really see this in how they got the details right. For example, the full-length pinstriping matches the wheel color (and Model A people know good ones have this.) The bumpers, grille, headlights, vinyl roof are all correct. Everything fits together nicely, and the doors still close with authority. There's even a rear folding luggage rack is made of wood with a chrome surround for a final touch of top-quality distinction.


Open the door and you'll see the seats, door panels, and headliner have been refreshed with a great looking and durable brown pattern cloth. Everything feels authentic from the classic four-spoke steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. And once again, you see the details of a good restoration in everything from the working horn to the dash that continues the exterior's pinstripe theme. And no matter if you're looking to use this coupe in a parade route or impress some friends, the brown vinyl rumble seat will always get people talking.


The classic 200 cubic-inch motor is the backbone of the Ford Motor Company, so when it's a runner like this, you feel instantly connected with history with every chug of the exhaust. It has been correctly updated for usability with features like an upgraded ignition system and an upgrade to an alternator. The torquey engine is great for parade routes and can keep up with traffic around town. The three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a quick double-clutch and the brakes are effective for a vehicle with modest performance and light weight. In total, this 85+ year-old is still a fun runabout.


Great colors, great features, and a great price - this is the right Model A for those people who love driving their history. If that's you, it's time to hurry up and call today!
