Ford - Model A Hemi Coupe

Description for Ford Model A 1930

Hello, I'm selling my "Model A Coupe" project. It consist of a 1932 style frame pinched and built by Gary at Blackboard Hotrods. The engine is a 55 Desoto Hemi - 291 w/ a four barrel carburetor, t's all stock. The only thing that was wrong with the engine was that the distributor had a short in it and I replaced it with a different one. It started right up with one pump of the carburetor and doesn't smoke or knock. The lifters are pecking a little, ut should quiet down as it runs some more, here is virtually no sludge build-up under the rocker covers. It hasn't ran since June 2008 but it turns freely. The transmission is a Ford T5 and mates with the engine via a Wilcap adapter w/ flywheel. The crank needs to be tapped to install the flywheel. The front axle and split wishbones w/ bungs installed are from a 1934 car. They are being held up by a new Poise front spring, 7-41 round back spindles, 940 Ford Front Brakes (backing plate and drum), new kingpins, nd a 1942 16" Ford wheels. The rear-end is from an S10, adder bars, O-CAL Speed Shop Rear Spring and 2 new wheels from Wheel Vintiques (Steel, ray Primer, 6 in.x 4.5 in., x 4.5/4.75 in. Bolt Circle, .75 in. Backspace). The 30-31 Model A coupe comes with doors but it's missing the decklid. The previous owner chopped the top 5" and that's how I bought it (top just being placed on the body, ot welded). The body does need work but nothing too major, t does have rust, ents and a few holes.
