The Model A was Ford Motor Company's second huge market success
following in line with the Model T. Interestingly not only did it
have huge success originally but had a revival later in life as
this era of car became a staple in the hot rodder and custom car
community. Being that they were one of the most common cars in
their time they were well represented in the media so it is no
surprise they were a go-to for show car enthusiasts. Unfortunately
due to their steel construction they have slowly become harder to
get your hands on over time. That is what makes beautiful all steel
cars like this 5 Window Coupe so awesome to sill have around. This
car was very well built and combines "old school" touches with
performance and modern upgrades to create the ultimate Hot Rod. The
current owner purchased the car in 2012 out of Houston, Texas and
it has been used as a fair time weather weekend show car since
being completed. With only 446 miles on it since finished the car
still looks very fresh. The solid steel body is in excellent
condition and painted in a 1977 Ford Vista Orange base coat/clear
coat paint that has an excellent finish. You see so many of these
cars getting cut up during their modifications so this one being
unchopped actually makes it really stand out in a great way. A 32
grill shell has been added up front and it also has a recessed
firewall. The grill has a nice shine and is framed by large chrome
circle headlights. In back it has LED tear drop taillights and all
of the electrical is working properly. The glass is all in good
shape and the car still has the pop out front windshield. It rides
on a set of Weld Racing wheels with BF Goodrich tires and very cool
knock off style center caps in back.
The car is run without the hood to show off the 355 V8 roller motor
that gets those tires turning. It has been dressed up from top to
bottom with nice chrome valve covers, a polished intake, Holley
Street Avenger 750cfm carburetor, chrome air cleaner, Cool Flex
hoses, billet brackets, polished pulleys, a custom oil pan and so
much more. The block and heads are also painted to match the body
for a clean cohesive look. In fact the entire TCI chassis and a
large number of undercarriage components are painted to match
making it very worthy of showing off. The car sounds great and with
headers and cutouts into 3 inch exhaust through Thrust mufflers.
Cooling is provided by the aftermarket Walker radiator with a large
electric fan. Combined with the engine is a 700R4 automatic
transmission and Ford 8.8 inch rear end. The car does come already
with a painted extra pos-track rear pumpkin. The 6 inch drop axle
is nicely painted and a large portion of the exposed suspension is
all polished or chrome. Underneath the car a power brake booster
has been hidden and it has disc front/drum rear. The electrical is
an EZ Wiring harness and the list of high end components goes on
and on. It also has a Vega steering box and the car runs down the
road great.
The interior is all custom and completed in a beautiful Ivory ultra
leather. It is extremely clean and very luxurious and modern. It
has dual bucket seats that are very comfortable and feature lap
belts. The carpet is all very nice and it has a Lokar shifter
mounted to the floor. The dash is painted the same Vista Orange and
topped off with Omega Kustom gauges that all work properly.
Underneath the dash a Vintage AC system is in place with nice
adjustable vents. In front of the driver is a custom Billet
steering wheel on a tilt column with all polished levers. Behind
the seat you will find the Optima battery mounted with a kill
switch. One very cool feature of this car is the trunk has been
finished out as a rumble seat. The upholstery is just as nice as
the rest and below the seat bottom is extra storage space.
This is an extremely cool classic with that complete Hot Rod style.
It has been meticulously cared for and looks like a freshly built
custom car. It gets attention everywhere you take it and is a
regular show winner.
This beautiful car could be in your garage for $49,500.00!
