1930 Hot Rod Ford Model A Street Rod Rat Rod on 2040-cars

    For Sale is an extremely well done, just finished 1930 Model A rat rod style street rod.  It is a real steel 1930 Ford body on a fully boxed custom frame.  The body has a 5" chopped top and gorgeous copper pearl metallic paint with several coats of flat clear along with black stripping and a tan vinyl top.     It was built with heat and ice cold A/C (vintage air system).   It has power windows that are key fob operated remote control because the doors have shaved handles on the outside. All window glass on the car is factory bronze tinted which matches the color of the car better.  Car also has tilt steering column, a stereo/dvd player with four speakers and all new gauges.  Working front and rear turn signals with the front signals built into the headlights.  The interior was just finished using tan/beige leather and brown ostrich inserts in dash and seats, along with embroidered hot rod emblems, reclining bucket seats with adjustable lumbar support.  One of the coolest features of this build, is the full 5" chop giving it that perfect look, but we dropped the entire floor pan a full 2" to make it more practical for an everyday driver.  This was accomplished without a transmission hump so the interior has a full flat floor to give it a lot more room.  The rear seats can fit actual size human beings (teens) so it is truly a four passenger vehicle. The front seats have seat belts and the rear seats have 4 point harnesses for the safety of the kids.  It also has a full length custom made ceiling console with LED lighting and under dash lighting to match.     The entire car was built with safety in mind since I would be taking the kids with me to car shows.  It has four-wheel disc brakes. A complete Pete and Jakes four bar front end kit with a steering dampener.  The rear was custom fabricated at a racing/chassis shop.  It is a triangulated four link set up with heavy duty supports for rock solid stability.  It has fully adjustable billet alloy coil over shocks (11 position dampening adjustment so you can select your ride preference) with 300lb springs.  They also fabricated a rear sway bar.  All this chassis work lets the car handle and keeps it extremely flat and controlled while cornering.  The whole point of the build was to be able to actually drive the car to the shows, from the back roads to the interstate.  I have been in too many slapped together shoddy fabricated rods that were scary to drive not to mention not being built safe enough to put my kids in the back seat.   The engine is a rebuilt 318 Chrysler out of a truck with a mild cam, mated to a 727 tranny with an Edelbrock 4-bbl carb.  The engine runs great with no issues.  It has plenty of torque and the transmission shifts smooth and crisp using a B&M ratchet shifter.  It has a full custom set of twin lake style side pipes. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.93 gears so you can cruise the interstate at speed.     There are tons of details on the car like the flush mount Harley Davidson fuel cap that pops out connected to an aluminum fuel cell.  I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot more, but I can take detailed pics of what ever you want.  Like I said, this has just recently been completed and is ultra clean from top to bottom and brand new underneath.  The car is a blast to drive and gets tons of attention where ever it goes.  Car has 650 miles on it since completion, have tons of receipts, part numbers and parts info   The car is offered for sale at $25,000.00 OBO.  I can be reached at 919-451-7680

The tires hide the spots completely, but wanted to say it was there.  The rubbing occurred when I first had the over-sized rear tires on it. Once the sway bar was added, it completely eliminated body roll and no further rubbing occurred.  I have since put on different tires and have had no problems since.
