This 1929 Ford Model A roadster was reportedly customized by Blair’s Speed Shop of Pasadena, California in the late 1950s or early 1960s, and it was refinished about 20 years ago. Power is from a 327ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with triple Stromberg carburetors on an Edelbrock intake manifold, and the steel body features a pickup bed with wood stakes and flooring. The three-speed automatic is linked to a 12-bolt rear end, and the convertible truck also has chromed suspension, red wire wheels, a dual exhaust system, and black leather upholstery. The truck was listed on BaT in May 2020 and sold on BaT in July 2021, and since the seller’s acquisition in 2022 it was fitted with ceramic-coated headers, PerTronix ignition, a transmission cooler, and replacement tires and shocks. This Model A pickup hot rod is now offered at no reserve with spare parts and a clean Connecticut title in the seller’s name.

The steel body panels and steel fenders were repainted some time in the 2000s. The bed features varnished wood slats with matching stake sides as well as a storage box, and the removable black fabric roadster top is equipped with a plastic rear window. The hood sides have been removed but are included.

The seller tells us the brakes were overhauled and the wheel bearings and shocks were replaced since the last auction. The suspension features a drilled drop axle up front with chrome ladder bars and a transverse leaf spring, while out back are chrome ladder bars, a Panhard bar, and coil springs.

Red-painted wire wheels with V8-logo hubcaps have staggered tires that were mounted by the seller.

The cab features a bench seat upholstered in black leather with red stitching and buttons, and matching trim panels are fitted to the doors. The center console has cup holders.

A T-style wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a body-colored steel dashboard with flourishes. Gauges are housed in a central cluster, while Stewart Warner supplementary instruments and a Sunpro tachometer are mounted below the dashboard. The light controls and a battery disconnect switch are located underneath the driver’s seat. The five-digit odometer is unreadable, and the seller estimates they have driven ~300 miles during their ownership.

The 327ci small-block V8 is equipped with three Stromberg downdraft carburetors, which the seller states have been rebuilt during their ownership, as well as an Edelbrock intake manifold and finned valve covers. The seller installed PerTronix ignition and replaced the ignition components as well as the radiator fan switch and fuel lines, and they installed the ceramic-coated headers that are linked to the dual exhaust system. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.

The floor-shifted TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is linked to a 12-bolt rear end. The seller tells us the transmission and rear end were serviced and a transmission cooler was installed.

Removed and spare components are included as shown.
