For Sale: 1928 Ford Roadster in Sarasota, Florida

1928 Ford Model A Roadster - Professionally Built Steel Hot Rod

This professionally built 1928 Ford Model A Roadster is a beautifully executed traditional hot rod that combines vintage Ford styling with proven Chevrolet V8 performance and modern driving upgrades. Completed around 1987 and carefully maintained by long-term collectors, this all-steel roadster showcases a high-quality build with extensive chrome detailing, a beautifully finished chassis, and the timeless appeal of a classic open-air hot rod.

The Ford Model A represented a major evolution in automotive design when it replaced the legendary Model T in 1928. Built for a new generation of drivers who wanted more comfort, style, and performance, the Model A introduced improved handling, more conventional controls, and a wider range of body styles. This roadster honors that legacy while delivering the reliability and excitement expected from a professionally built street machine.

The all-steel body is finished in a vibrant Red exterior and complemented by a Tan convertible top, polished chrome accents, and classic roadster proportions. The detailed chrome chassis and suspension components give this Model A a show-quality presence from every angle, while the functional rumble seat adds to its authentic hot rod character.

Inside, the custom Tan leather interior provides a comfortable and refined driving environment while maintaining the classic feel of a traditional roadster. The open cockpit design, clean layout, and thoughtful details make this Model A equally enjoyable cruising the boulevard or displayed at a car show.

Power comes from a Chevrolet 307 V8 engine equipped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, AFB carburetor, finned valve covers, and matching air cleaner. The engine is paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, providing smooth and dependable performance. The boxed frame, dropped chrome front axle, 4-bar suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering create a balanced combination of style and drivability. Power front disc brakes and rear drums provide confident stopping power, while rear coil-overs, a Panhard bar, and chrome 4-bar suspension complete the upgraded chassis.

This 1928 Ford Model A Roadster is the perfect example of a traditional hot rod done right. With its steel body, collector-quality build, detailed craftsmanship, and proven drivetrain, it offers the ideal combination of history, style, and performance.
