This 1929 Ford Model A hot rod is based on a steel-bodied five-window coupe that was stored indoors for ~four decades in San Francisco according to the seller, who acquired it in 2013 and subsequently built it over the next two years. The body was media-blasted and repainted Viper Red, and the car rides on chrome wire wheels with a Pete & Jake’s drop front end with discs along with a four-link rear end with coilovers. The 283ci V8 was built in 2012 with 305 heads and an Edelbrock carburetor, and it is linked to a 700R4 automatic and a Ford 9″ axle. Inside is an oak headliner, a Lokar shifter, an Ididit tilt column, a Lecarra steering wheel, and custom upholstery. This Model A Highboy is now offered with a clean Nevada title in the seller’s name.
The five-window coupe body was glass-beaded, repaired, and epoxy-primed before it was painted Viper Red.
The front end is a drop axle setup from Pete & Jake’s with hairpin radius rods, a transverse leaf spring, and discs. The car has a tilt-out windshield, a visor, and a fabric roof.
The rear end is a four-link setup with coilovers and discs brakes. The chromed wire wheels have 205/60 front and 255/70 rear BFGoodrich tires mounted.
Custom upholstery covers the bench seat, and the headliner is a custom oak slats. A Lokar shifter is mounted on the floor, which is covered by carpeting that matches the outer seat upholstery and door panels.
The banjo-style Lecarra wheel is mounted on an Ididit column. The ~4,300 miles on the Auto Meter cluster represents the mileage on the build.
The seller states 305ci heads were installed on the 283ci V8, and it is topped by an aluminum intake manifold as well as an Edelbrock carburetor and valve covers. PerTronix ignition was utilized along with a Griffin aluminum radiator. The headers are linked to a custom stainless-steel exhaust system with Porter mufflers.
The 700R4 automatic is linked to a Ford 9″ axle.
The car is titled as a 1929 Ford using the VIN shown above.
