For Sale: 1930 Ford Model A in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1930 Ford Model A Standard Coupe

"The revving engines, the roar of horsepower, and the unmistakable style of a sleek customized vehicle tearing down the road - these are the defining characteristics of hot rods. Originating in the early 20th century, hot rods have evolved from humble beginnings into a vibrant subculture that continues to captivate automobile enthusiasts worldwide. Street rods, also known as "street machines" or "street customs", are similar to hot rods in that they are modified vintage American cars. However, street rods tend to have a more refined and modernized appearance. Street rod enthusiasts often use more contemporary components and technology to enhance performance, safety, and comfort."

For consignment, a 1930 Ford Model A standard coupe showing 8,318 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. This street rodded version now packs a 350ci V8 and some 90's era Centerline wheels.

Exterior
Like a Harbinger of summer and good times, this street rod is bathed in a bath of two stage Plum Purple paint, exceedingly shiny and dark with near flawless coverage. No engine covers to obscure the showy powerplant and a glossy black trunk in back add to the visual appeal. She's got just the right rake thanks in part to the staggered size tires on the 15-inch Centerline Fluted Hawk wheels that contribute to an overall smooth profile. A paint matched visor is at the end of the roofline, most of which is covered in textured black vinyl in great condition. The grille shell is smooth and headlights are perched on a bar that bridges the fenders while marker lights have been added underneath. The paint, body and trim are great with minor imperfections that include just two scratches.

Interior
Mauve and gray seem like a logical choice here and the tweed coverage begins cleanly on the doors, both in great shape and each with electric window switches. Bucket seats maintain the material and colors and are situated amongst mauve covered walls. In fact, no surface has been spared as the dashboard is also covered in lavender tweed in a unique configuration rarely seen, and home to VDO gauges, an AM/FM/CD radio, and vents for the Vintage Air system. Ahead of the dash is a wood rimmed banjo style steering wheel and on the floor, a Lokar shifter flanked by speakers within the tweed footwell walls. The clean parade continues under the rear hatch where the trunk is fully finished in tweed.

Drivetrain
Clean metal dresses the 350ci V8 up front with aluminum heads and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. It's backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the Ford 9" in back in an often seen union of GM and Ford. Headers are on board as well as power brakes and air conditioning.

Undercarriage
Wonderfully clean and just about show worthy underneath where dual exhaust travels through stainless steel mufflers before dumping under the car. Heat shields and wrap dress the run of the left exhaust pipe. Power brakes are here as front disc and rear drum and suspension includes coil overs at both ends with the help of a 4 link in back.

Drive-Ability
This solid little A goes through the paces without a hiccup; she runs well, sounds great, and tracks straight, except when braking at which point the car pulls right. Beyond that, this nice build works exceptionally well including all functions on board. 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.

Not much not to love here; clean at every angle and on the inside, room for your cooler and foldable chairs, and an extra seat for the guest of your choosing, or none at all! Essentially, a turnkey show car and cruise night special, even on those hot nights when you can crank the A/C!
