This Ford Hot Rod got away, but there are more like it here.

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.
