1928 Model A Ford Custom Rat Rod Hot Chopped Tudor Sedan on 2040-cars

This is a sweet 1928 Ford Model A Sedan!  The car has been driven regularly over the past ten years and it really rips.  Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising.

This is as finished as a Rat Rod could go without looking hokey and you won’t find another like.  The paint is flat black with old school scallops in white and outlined in red, finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Paul Straus and Ron Lasker.  The roof has been chopped 5 inches, all the wood has been replaced with white oak and finished with a dark stain and sealer.  The car comes with a removable waterproof canvas top that can be buttoned on or off in a few minutes and secured in the back with custom leather buckle down straps.  The front end sports a 1930 grill shroud with traditional BLC guide head lights on each side.  The rear tail lights are 1939 Ford.  The 1930 Chrysler side door handles, vintage peep mirror and 50’s bumpers give the exterior just the right amount of chrome to go faster.

The interior is finished in wood and stainless steel, hidden under the deck lid is a 15 gallon fuel tank made by Tanksinc.  You might question the comfort of the seats, but they’ve got just enough spring to them that they are comfortable and look great.  The red center console is made up of 1967 Buick fenders flipped around and welded together.  A fully chromed 1932 style dash is inlayed with black Stewart Warner Wings gauges and one enormous vintage speedometer made by Maring and Company.(Maring and Company was based out of LA and made high speed speedo’s back in the day)  The other gauges consists of water temp, oil pressure, oil temp for engine oil, oil temp for trans oil, air pressure(for air-ride) and volts.  The 15 inch wood steering wheel is mounted to a 60’s VW bus steering column and gear box with a quick release so it can be removed for security purposes.  The Enfield rifle is not included in the sale of the vehicle, it currently is slid over a shifter rod that protrudes approximately one foot out of the center console, I would recommend if you want to maintain the look you could find a stage gun for a few bucks on-line.

The drive train consists of a 1965 Chevy 327 that was fully rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago putting out approximately 375 hp and topped off with a 3x2 Offenhauser intake.  The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic followed by a Chevy 12 bolt rear end with fresh 3.73 gears.  The front suspension is a late 30’s strait axle and split wish bone set up suicide style with disc brakes.  The rear consists of an old school hairpin radius rod set up sprung with adjustable coilovers and Chevy drum brakes.  The wheels are reproduction artillery style wheels in a clear finish wrapped in reproduction Firestone tires.
