For Sale: 1930 Ford Model A in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1930 Ford Model A Highboy Roadster

Hot rodding began in Southern California in the 1920s and 1930s as a cult movement. Car clubs were formed where young men would share knowledge, race each other, and swap parts. Hot rodding enthusiasts come together at car clubs, car shows, and cruising events to showcase their cars, exchange knowledge, and compete. The term "hot rod" can be used as a noun to describe the modified car, or as a verb to describe the act of driving a hot rod or modifying a vehicle for speed.

For consignment, a 1930 Ford Model A highboy roadster with a title verified 3,444 actual miles. This no expense spared build was completed in 2008 and will come to you with a binder full of receipts and photos. Put the tarp back on that project car, your turn key show winning street rod just pulled in!

Exterior
You can't miss this safety cone colored Highboy coated in two stage Orange Crush paint, strikingly vibrant and sharply contrasting the black tires and frame and complemented by tastefully tinted windows. In classic street rod style, the wheels are deeply staggered 15-inch Weld Prostars with deep dish rears that rival a burn barrel in its cavernous proportions. The all steel body benefits from a '32 grille, a mild chop, and a raked, highboy stance, classic and aggressive at the same time. Out back, the center exit exhaust is cone cut on the inside and billet style housing frames the narrow tail lights. Imperfections are few and include an off color touch up, corner cracks at the decklid, and a few smaller ones at a wheel opening.

Interior
The custom interior begins with orange stitched leather on the door with both vertical and horizontal designs backed by orange, creating a dynamic visual presentation and both doors are spotless. Inside, the black leather low back bucket seats merge their design with the sidewalls, incorporating two strips of orange framing a black band and supplied with 3 point seat belts. A sporty steering wheel that features black, chrome, and brushed nickel on a polished tilt column fronts a body colored dashboard with a central instrument cluster with AutoMeter gauges within a polished billet trim plate. Further down, there's a billet control panel for the A/C and tachometer mounted underneath, all over a floor covered in perfect black carpet. That's where you'll find the Lokar shifter but if you look up, you'll find the Sony screen for the AM/FM radio fitted nicely on the stitched headliner and dome light. The trunk is also show ready, fully finished right down to the hinges and tubbed wells, and houses a fuel cell and Yellow Top battery.

Drivetrain
Welcome to polished town as the engine was built for go and dressed for show! It's an impressive looking 351ci Windsor V8 with a consignor stated 325 horsepower. It has Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads and dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors. Behind it, a C4 3-speed automatic transmission sending power to a Ford 9" in back with 3.70 gears, Positraction, and Moser 31 spline axles. Naturally, headers are on board as are power brakes and the car runs on a 12 volt system.

Undercarriage
They say all that glitters is gold, or in this case, stainless steel which emits a sheen from the dual exhaust, including the mufflers, terminating at the slightly shinier chrome tips in back. It's spotless underneath and also show worthy, equipped with coil overs front and rear with powder coated ladder bars in back. Power disc occupies the front wheels and power drum brakes and inside the massive meats in back.

Drive-Ability
Those brakes prove to be very soft on our test loop, so we'll enjoy the sound and power of the car at low speeds while we test the other functions. Other than the A/C, all items work as intended and we roll this clean machine back to the mall. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

You know what the car has. You see the photos and the immaculate presentation. You can put a parts and price list together to try and duplicate this build, but we suspect you'll get halfway through it before realizing the potential bargain this turn key street rod presents. It's a fantastic build and has plenty of room in the trunk for future trophies.
