Here you go folks; a 1930 Ford Model A 5 window all steel coupe! This coupe is exactly where everyone wants to start. Its all original with that great "PATINA" (the old skool guys call it "wear and tear")! It isn't perfect by no means, as I've taken pictures of areas that you may want to tackle, or just leave it and drive. I don't want to use the word "Rat Rod" because this coupe is much better than that. It has all 4 original fenders that appear to be rust free. The lower cowl area, small lower section of the trunk lid, leaded seam areas on both side of the roof panel, are showing "character!" The paint has scratches and chips throughout as pictured. Frame, front and rear axle all look good. For the picky eye, looks great at about a mile and a half away! But for someone just looking to get in a 5 window coupe and drive, you'll fall in love with it immediately! Overall, this 83 year old car is solid.
All glass is good, door windows roll up and down, and the windshield kicks in and out and latches as it suppose too. All gauges (speedo, volts, fuel), lights, horn, work as they should. New tail lights installed recently. New chrome dash bezel, wire harness, generator cut out switch, battery cut out switch, 6V battery all installed within the last year.
Engine cranks up and runs real good. It isn't a speed demon, but cruises in 3rd gear about as good as it gets. New water pump installed. All brakes work as they should and stops as easy or as hard as you can apply manual pressure! Has the optional windshield wiper that also works.
The interior is complete and in decent shape. Cabin seat doesn't have any rips. The rumble seat is in good shape, but gray in color. I bought this recently here off ebay.
Has 5 new Goodyear all weather 4.75-19 tires and tubes, purchased within the last year. This coupe looks to have been restored probabaly in the mid 80's.
All in all, you can get in her and drive today, enjoy the waves from folks, and put her back in the garage. Or, you can make one hell of a custom rod out of it, the choice is yours. VA Plates and tool box do not go with the car. Enjoy the auction and good luck!

Thanks for all the questions. I'll try to answer them each evening; Yes, the 30 is road worthy and is driven around on weekends. No, I don't have any extra body panels, but have a couple extra generators (1 generates but bad bearings, 1 bad), 2 extra gen cut outs (1 good, 1 not sure), a new pair of alunimun Ford door sill plates. No, I won't take $5K for this one (he must have thought I missed my nap). Not interested in any trades or payment plans. Sell only in United States. Thanks again for all the interest. Good Luck.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks
Wed, Jul 10 2019Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser. 2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
