Someone might ask, "Why would someone sell this car?"

It was not an easy decision. Growing Family.....

I love this car. Theres alot of blood, sweat, and tears in every inch of it. This car comes with a complete pictorial log of when it was picked up from a farm in Missouri, built by the previous owner, when I bought the car, the work I put into it, and all receipts for parts and material. As you all know, this is rare to have such a history on a car but when you have a passion for something "Like a child" thats what you do.

Now about the car.

This car is a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan Rat Rod.

Original frame has been boxed with 3/16"plate for strength and Zee'd with 2"x4"x3/16" tubing to tuck the rearend. The body was knotched to "Hide the Rails" for a cleaner stance. Body has new patch panels and was chopped 5" and channeled 4" for lowering. Car sits about waist high when air bags are lowered.

Roof and sides were reinforced with 1" steel tubing. Side and back glass are tinted brown laminated safety glass and front windshield is clear laminated safety glass. Doors have working window regulators and latches. Roof was topped off with oak ribs and snaps were installed for adding a canvas top.  

Engine, stearing column, peddle assembly, and dash came from a 1967 Ford F100. Engine was completely rebuilt with new bearings, rings, oil pump, pins, pistons, and seals. Crank was polished and oil holes chanfered. Has great oil pressure. Heads were machined surface, new seats for springs, valve guides, polished intake and exaust, new Thumper Comp Cam w/matching springs, and Stainless Steel High Flow Valves. Intake is a single plane aluminum with a 3 duece adapter and correct Ford 3 Duece Holley set up. Motor has a solid looping sound. 

Front end is a 4" drop Super Bell "I"beam front axel with original split wishbone suicide frontend. New reverse eye slider spring. Frontend complete hub to hub from Speedway. 

Transmission is a T-5 5 speed. This transmission came from a 86' Mustang and was completely rebuilt.

Rear end can from a 89'Lincoln Mark 7 with 327 gears with new calipers and pads. Parking brake also works. Triangular 4-link with air bags that are manually fill from an old brass fire extinguisher air tank mounted in back.

Plenty of custom touches.

Air Horn and Oogha Horn.

Original Spare Tire.

Master cylinder is a Corvette style with added front brake lock on "10 Ball" shifter.

Copper trim on front end, motor, interior, and around top.

LED lighting on interior and LED in motor scope that is tied to coil so the light dances with motor. Very cool when you see it.

I know theres some things I forgot but with a car like this its easy too. 

If you have any questions please contact me. Buyer assumes all responsiblity for shipping. I can assist with loading. 

Car is for sale locally so sale may end early.

I hope the person that wins this car loves it as much as the previous owner and myself. This is a head turner and a car show winner with multible awards. So you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you spend extra time when traveling because getting gas normally last around 30 min. "People love to talk about it"

A payment for $500 is due at end of auction.

Thanks for checking it out ...... Happy Biding.
