Vehicle Description
1931 Ford Model A 4 door sedan. The current build on the car was
completed in the early 90's. It has been in my family since the
late '90's. As far as the body goes, it's an original steel Ford
production body that has been chopped about 1 1/2 inches. It has a
grill from a 1932 Ford. All six of the side windows have the
ability to roll up and down and have all been fitted with custom
glass due to the chop. The rear doors are suicide doors. The
running boards are aftermarket fiberglass reproduction. At the time
of the build the original fenders were too far gone which is why
they weren't used in the build. The paint on the car is House of
Kolor Candy Root Beer. It has a gold undercoat that really pops in
the sun. The car was pinstriped by Herb Martinez. The engine in the
car is 302 cubic inch Ford V8. It has a mild cam, Mallory Unilite
distributor, Taylor wires, AFB Carter Carburetor, and short tube
headers. It also has billet valve covers and billet air cleaner.
The transmission in the car is a C4 automatic trans and has a Ford
9 inch rear end. Front end wise the car is running a dropped axle
with transverse leaf spring and 4 link. The rear end has a set of
Aldan coil overs and a parallel 4 link with panhard bar. The car
has original American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. The interior of
the car is finished in a light beige leather with dark brown
fabric. The front seats are from an '80's Camaro and have
upholstered to match. It has a Wabbit wood dash with a 3 spoke
leather steering wheel. The car is also equipped with a Vintage Air
AC unit. Current work that has been done to the car is: - All new
bushings have been installed in both front and rear 4 links - Both
rear coil overs have been rebuilt by Aldan - New tires front and
rear - New fuel pump There probably is a lot more information that
I've left out. I have a lot of receipts for the car that have been
collected over the years. The car has always been garaged and well
taken care of. It has provided many years of enjoyment through
driving and going to shows over the years, it's time for someone
else to enjoy it and make it there own. To say this car gets
attention wherever I take it is an understatement, it truly is a
unique vehicle that is one of a kind.
