This 1931 Ford Model A represents a no-expense-spared restoration and performance-oriented build, acquired in restored condition with virtually no miles before receiving a carefully curated series of upgrades by some of the most respected names in the Model A community. Power comes from a Burtz Short Block engine fitted with a Burtz high-compression cylinder head, lightened flywheel, and strengthened flywheel housing, while fuel delivery is handled by a Winfield carburetor restored by renowned specialist Chris Braun. Additional mechanical upgrades include a top-loader 4-speed synchromesh transmission conversion, aluminum oil pan by Charlie Yapp, shortened driveshaft and torque tube, modified wishbones, and a V8 pressure plate and clutch assembly.
The cabin was upholstered by LeBaron Bonney and features exceptionally executed woodgraining throughout, reflecting the level of detail and craftsmanship present throughout the build. Additional touring-focused upgrades include electronic ignition, directional signals, and auxiliary oil pressure and RPM gauges, making the car both highly usable and rewarding to drive.
Built without compromise and finished to an exceptional standard, this Model A combines highly regarded components, expert craftsmanship, and thoughtful drivability enhancements into a single turn-key example. Opportunities to acquire a Model A of this specification, quality, and presentation are increasingly rare.
