1928 Ford Pick Up Pro Built Vintage Rat Rod Hot Rod on 2040-cars

Muscle Car Garage USA:

We are a private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars. We also do restorations in our two locations in the Jacksonville and Orlando area. From time to time we decide to offer one of our collector cars up for sale. Our vehicles are usually full "nut and bolt" restorations and are the quality of a regional or local show car winner. Many of our cars are previous trophy winners. We are not dealers just car enthusiasts who have been collecting cars for years and performing restorations to the level of regional show car quality. We are not a concourse restorer, and many of our cars are trailered to events but most vehicles can be driven if you choose to do so.

Exterior Details:

First off this real 28 Cab and Bed was media blasted to bare metal. All corrosion work was repaired with metal (no bondo) and chopped roof and visor have been custom fabricated. There is no rust on this truck anywhere. Just a note that the wood filler in the door jams is the actual wood from 1928. How cool is that? Paint is custom created patina with pinstripping by the famous Dr D with vintage door sign. Bed is custom dark stained beveled edge wood planks and houses the authentic beer keg fuel tank. Front grille is partially real and partially fabricated. Winged goddess hood ornament is an antigue gardening tool. Lighting and wiring are all new and even has brakes lights on cab as well as tailgate. Tailgate is smoothed and opens to secret storage compartment and new Optima battery mounted at rear. Wheels are 15 & 16" steelies with retro look rubber that is in very good condition. Doors open and close with correct mechanism as they did in 1928. Underside of this truck is spotless and all new. Every nut, bolt, line, wire, etc is new and the underside is a testament to that. Frame and components painted chassis black. Engine shows as very vintage trendy with exposed surface rust on many parts (even though all is new or rebuilt). Carb is brand new Holley 500cfm but is hidden under the working vintage drag snorkel air cleaner.

Summary:

This is a one of a kind pro built Hot Rod using top quality parts. This is not a junk yard Rat Rod. This is a vintage "Jesse James" style Hot Rod that can be driven and taken to many shows. This truck has been featured in two magazines and was a featured vehicle at Disney's Dream Cars Weekend. It also was featured at the 2013 Pinupalooza and was a top trophy winner at the 2013 Indian River Rumble. If you are looking for something different and cool and want reliablity then this is your opportunity to own a work of art for a fraction of the cost of the time and money that went into the creation of this truck. If you want something that everyone else shows up with at car shows, then you have read too far and are wasting your time. This is a very painstaking detailed build that reflects the current trends on old school patina Hot Rods with the skill set of today's parts and technology. If you win the bidding, just be prepared to get ambushed by just about everybody with questions and pictures.  Good luck bidding!!!
