1929 Ford Roadster Nostalgia Hot Rod on 2040-cars

No “replica” in fiberglass or metal. It’s the real deal. Looks like a ’32 because of the frame and grille (which are ’32 REAL DEAL). A lot of newer street rodders don't appreciate the vintage ‘29 Ford as much as their 32's but this one is sure to give them a run for their money. It combines the two looks into one cool machine. The BIG difference…you can get this one for a fraction of the price! A lot of the street rods around nowadays are new-age fiberglass but this one is an ALL STEEL Henry Ford body. It was created and rolled out of the factory 85 years ago! The fact that it is still around and laser straight is absolutely amazing! The 1929 Ford body is nicely mounted to the 32' Ford frame giving it some extra length for the chrome spreader bar. The front end looks even more like a 32' with the addition of the 32' steel grill shell. The chrome grill has a great shine along with the Ford logo and trim. The body, frame, and grill shell are all coated in bright yellow and buffed out to a great shine. Pin striping by the legendary Larry West who designed the Coors graphic on Bill Elliott’s NASCAR T-Birds. When we say this is a nostalgic, old-school hot rod we should probably explain what we mean. It's not that this car was done in the style recently. No. This style actually started the trend in the late 50s and early ‘60s! Being built in the late 50's this is what people are after when they are currently building "old school" rods. The car was later restored in 2000, refreshed in 2013. Large chrome front headlights and circle frenched purple-dot taillights. The trunk is louvered. In true nostalgia style the car rolls around on American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels with white wall tires (all with fewer than 300 miles). And the only modern update for safety sake…4-wheel disc brakes that were added last year. The mechanical details”

Engine was torn-down and rebuilt by TDS in Covington (Travis Domini, who has built 4 motors for me, both for street and strip. I swear by him.) replacing what needed to be replaced. Runs GREAT! Less than 300 miles since rebuild.

The interior of the car is nicely finished with black bucket seats. The dash is topped with Stewart Warner wing gauges mounted in a nice brushed bezel. On the floorboard is mounted the Lokar shifter. An aftermarket steering wheel is nicely mounted in place.  Oh yes, an ooogha horn. To the column a tachometer has been added and works just as it should. All of the rubbers have been replaced on the car when it was entirely gone through.

So, what’s wrong with it? A minor sign of wear on the left rear upholstery panel (see pic). The speedometer is not accurate. There is a gizmo to correct that but I have never bothered with it. Parking brake is not working. It is the drive shaft parking brake variety.

This is NOT a show car. It is a fun, nostalgia hot rod meant to be driven, envied  and enjoyed.

Cars of this age are not titled in Georgia.   It does have a Texas title.
