Vehicle Description
It's a fact: it is absolutely impossible to build an ugly '30 Ford.
This fantastic 1930 Ford Model A Streetrod is ample proof, with a
perfect hot-rod stance, a killer high-impact paint job adorning its
laser-straight steel body, powerful 383 Stroker V8 engine, the
practicality of a big, leather-trimmed interior, and all the
creature comforts you'd expect of a high-quality build. And with
only 7741 miles on the comprehensive, nut-and-bolt restoration,
this red-hot Ford is bonafide trophy hunter, too.
First off, this rod is 100% steel, including the beautifully
sculpted swooping fenders and running boards, which certainly
explains why this '30 looks so darn good. Even without a major
chopped top, the 2-door sedan body style looks sleek and low with
that awesome rake to the stance, and with lots of window area you
know it was made to drive. The vivid Tangerine Pearl finish was a
perfect choice to highlight the impressive design, and freeing up
the clutter by removing the bumpers, most of the trim, and shaving
the door handles and hinges has really streamlined this street rod.
High-end PVE Dupont paint really helps too, and the deep, lustrous
orange finish was completed to a nearly show standard with a
terrific gloss and shine that hardly shows any imperfections. Kudos
to the builders for getting this one exactly right. Ghost flames
outlined in black pinstripes wick the front end of the car,
fabricated hood panels expose the flashy engine, and a
color-matched visor was added to accentuate the roof. King
Bee-style headlights perched on the swooping front fenders are
period-perfect pieces that flank that iconic waterfall grille, and
a chrome spreader bar takes place of the otherwise obtrusive front
bumper this 1930-model was born with. The rear fenders were
beautifully sculpted over the tubbed rear end to mimic the look of
oversized mud flaps, a frenched-in license plate holder is a trick
touch, and the LED light strips (including the 3rd brake light up
top) were so neatly incorporated it's easy to forget that they're
modern components. There's even a cleverly hidden gas cap out back
that was installed flush against the rear of the body, and the
tough-looking dual chrome exhaust pipes down below add to the
hotrod vibe.
Suicide-style doors were factory-issue on practically everything in
1930, so stepping inside is easy. Once you're in there, you'll find
acres of lovely tan leather throughout the elegantly lined cabin
that looks as luxurious as any modern car you can buy today. Twin
buckets up front fit neatly in the vintage sedan, door panels were
stitched to match, and the rear bench was transformed into a
leather-lined stereo storage area that looks (and sounds) like it's
ready for competition. The original dash has been beautifully
re-created, painted to match the exterior, topped with matching tan
leather, and then filled with a centralized set of Dakota Digital
gauges that keep an eye on the upgraded motor under the hood. A
full Vintage A/C system was installed underneath and blows ice-cold
air throughout the cabin, a leather-rimmed billet steering mounted
atop a chrome Ididit column controls the cockpit, and billet knobs,
switches, and door handles throughout the cabin add a slick touch
inside. A modern stereo powers upgraded speakers stashed inside the
hushed interior where a taut headliner and plush carpets keep out
the horrors of the outside world, and everything feels tight,
clean, and airy inside - the perfect interior for a touring
streetrod.
The fabricated hood provides a sneak-preview of the beautiful
engine that powers this rod - a powerful, fuel-injected 383 Stroker
V8. With only 7741 miles on the build, the small block has plenty
of pop, runs incredibly smooth, and it's a surprisingly torquey
powerplant that makes this 2-door move like it weighs 1000 pounds
less than it actually does. A tuned-in Holley Sniper fuel-injection
set-up feeds the powerful small block with the help of steel fuel
rails and steel-braided lines, and the presentation was finished
for show, with a custom engine/intake cover and air filter
assembly, polished 'Pro Street' valve covers, and a chrome aluminum
intake and loads of polished accessories that all add flash inside
the finished Orange engine bay. A serpentine belt system drives the
accessories and ensures reliability, an MSD ignition fires it all
up, an aluminum radiator with a thermostatic electric fan keeps it
all cool, and a set of Sanderson headers feed into a throaty dual
exhaust system that sounds absolutely EPIC. A 700R4 4-speed
automatic transmission matched with a Ford 9-inch rear end are both
easily stout enough to handle the engine's output, while a
full-blown custom suspension punctuated with upgraded tubular
A-arms, trailing arms, coilovers, power rack-and-pinion steering,
and power 4-wheel disc brakes all make this '30 a dream to drive.
The undercarriage is just as beautiful as the top side of the car,
while the rolling stock rides on staggered chrome Coys wrapped in
performance Nittos up front and meaty Mickey Thompsons in the
rear.
Beautifully built and totally reliable, this dialed-in 1930 Ford is
what every hotrod aspires to be. Top-class all the way, this is a
show-worthy streetrod that needs only one thing: a new owner. Call
