The crew here at Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is always excited to present for sale, on consignment, this stunning 1931 Ford Model A Highboy. In the 2005 edition of Krause Publication's American Hot Rods book, you will find this very car featured in it. Not only is this Model A famous, it's reported to us as being all Henry Ford steel that has been chopped 3 inches!
The not so subtle modifications done to this Ford are timeless, making you wonder if it was built yesterday or decades ago.

Power is coming from a 425 cubic inch Buick Nail Head V8 featuring 6 Stromberg 97 carburetors, Weiand Drag Star intake, Sanderson Lime Fire headers and custom exhaust by Nightmare Street Rods. A Turbo 350 automatic transmission is engaged by a B&M shifter for an effortless cruising experience.
The custom yellow paint, green flames, green wheels, pop out windshield and checkerboard firewall just round out an amazing overall build.
