1928 FORD MODEL A - SOLD
WHAT A CAR!!! This roadster started life almost 80 years ago as a
1928 Ford Model A Sports Coupe, it was built over a three year
period ending in 2006. It was built by an experienced builder and
comes with an owner’s manual showing the complete build. It has just
over 6,000 trouble free miles and performs flawlessly.
The original body was widened and stretched with the final
dimensions being close to those of a Plymouth Prowler. The grill has
been laid back and was designed to replicate the ’33-’34 ford. The
rear quarter panels were reinforced with ˝"x 1" steel tubing and the
front cowl has been tilted back. It has a removable soft top that
stores in the rear compartment that opens electrically to allow
access.
The suicide doors have electric windows, hidden hinges and Bear Claw
latches. The electric windows are activated with switches in the
center console or remotely from the exterior for complete security.
The interior has a Sony sound system, Mooneye gauges, Issota custom
steering wheel, GM tilt column, 2 speed wipers, Ron Francis wiring
and gray upholstery and plush gray carpeting.
The frame, rear ladder bars, panhard bar, and differential have all
been powder coated silver to match the body color. The front brakes
are disc and the rear brakes are drum. The frame was constructed
from 2"x 4" steel tubing and was designed to fit the modified body.
Carrara coil over shocks are on both the front and rear for a very
smooth and comfortable ride. The front suspension is Mustang II
using power rack and pinion steering and Heidt’s control arms. It
also has an e-brake, heater and cruise control.
The drivetrain consists of a 1994 GM 4.3 Vortex engine with a 2004R
overdrive automatic transmission (cruises great at 80 MPH). The
transmission is shifted using a B&M Quick Silver shifter. The rear
end is a 1994 full size Ford pickup with 3.25 gears for real economy
with the overdrive. It has American Racing wheels 205/50ZR15 tires
on the front and 255/50ZR17 tires on the rear.
This roadster drives and performs outstanding with great gas
mileage. You can feel free to drive this car home in comfort and not
have to worry about reliability. We can pick you up at our airport
or help you make arrangements to have the car shipped to your door.
