Vehicle Description

THE RED BARON - 1930 FORD MODEL A FLATHEAD V8 COUPE Known as "The Red Baron," this all-steel 1930 Ford Model A coupe is a traditionally built hot rod featuring an authentic survivor-style patina and original Ford components throughout. Its professionally restored chassis is built on the original frame, which was sandblasted and refinished, and retains the original rear axle. Power comes from a strong-running 1940 Ford Flathead V8 equipped with Edelbrock aluminum heads, Red's headers, a late-style crab distributor conversion and a new coil. A polished vintage Edmunds intake with Tardel risers supports dual vintage chrome Stromberg 97 carburetors, both rebuilt and supplied by a new fuel pump and fuel lines. New head gaskets and bolts were also installed. The Flathead is paired with a rebuilt 1939 Ford manual transmission, a 1932 clutch arm and a new clutch kit. Additional traditional components include a 1932 Ford K-member and pedals, an original 1932 Ford wishbone, an original 1933 Ford front axle dropped four inches and drilled, an F1 truck steering-box conversion, a Model T rear spring and a reverse-eye main leaf with a refurbished original leaf pack. All shackles and bushings are new and retain their original-style appearance. Hydraulic "juice" brakes feature a new USA-made 1939 master cylinder, new wheel cylinders and new rear drums. The refurbished rear backing plates retain functional emergency-brake hardware, while original Lincoln front drums are mounted over F2 truck backing plates. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts with a PowerGEN alternator and all-new vintage-style cloth-covered wiring. The coupe rides on original 40-spoke bent-spoke Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels, which were sandblasted and refinished in gloss black, then fitted with original 1932 four-cylinder Ford hubcaps. New Firestone 4.50-16 front and 7.00-16 rear tires and tubes complete its period-correct stance. Inside, the original seat has been recovered and complemented by finished kick panels.
