Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 23rd year in the
classic and muscle car business. Usually I would say something like
here's one you don't see every day here. But this rod is so
unusual, I don't think you'll see one ANY day! The pairing of a
1930 Ford Model A huckster (the informal name for a custom
wood-bodied wagon usually used to sell fruits and vegetables) with
a FROGGY Ford-Esslinger 2.5L SOHC engine makes for one wild and
unique ride. The gurus at Esslinger Engineering are probably best
known for their beastly midget racing engines, and this street
version announces that heritage (and its arrival) with authority!
This potent mill, based on the Ford 2.3L Lima engine, is fortified
with an Esslinger D-port aluminum head, a 2.5L stroker crankshaft,
electronic fuel injection with 24 lb/hr injectors, electronic
ignition, a beautiful long-tube header, and an aluminum radiator
with electric fan and shroud. Additional features include rack and
pinion steering, power front disc brakes, 5-speed manual
transmission, tubular steel A-arms, coilover shocks, a beautiful
low-restriction stainless steel exhaust system, stainless steel
fuel tank, tilt steering column, Grant wheel, and cool spoked alloy
wheels wrapped with wide whitewall tires (195/65R15 F, 245/65R17
R). The owner states that the gorgeous oak body is a restored
original, and the craftsmanship of its dowel peg construction is
amazing. This rowdy showstopper is just the ticket for the eclectic
collector. One more wild rod from the team that can make your dream
a reality. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service
dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and
financing options.
