This Ford Model A is a five-window coupe is said to wear a factory steel body mounted on a modified and reinforced 1932 frame, and power is from a 413ci Chrysler Hemi V8 with custom internals, a belt-driven blower, and twin carburetors. Additional equipment includes a three-speed manually-shifted automatic transmission as well as a ceramic-coated stainless steel exhaust system, wide-five wheels, pie-crust cheater slicks, open-back brakes with aluminum drums, a dropped front axle, four-link rear suspension with adjustable coilovers, a custom radiator, and Stewart Warner gauges.
The metallic blue steel body is mounted on a pinched and boxed 1932 frame with a custom crossmember. Modifications include a 5″ chopped roof with a steel insert, a recessed firewall, widened and bobbed rear fenders, custom aluminum front fenders, and an aluminum hood with a blower cutout. The car also features dual A-pillar mirrors, teardrop taillamps, and Bear Claw door latches.
Bart Racing alloy wheels are mounted to modified magnesium wide-five hubs and wrapped in Firestone pie-crust bias-ply tires in a “big and little” setup with cheater slicks in the rear. Wilson Welding open-back brakes use aluminum Buick drums. Suspension comprises a Super Bell 5” dropped front axle, a transverse front leaf spring with rubber pads, and a four-link rear end with adjustable coilovers.
The interior wears black diamond-pleated upholstery extending from the single bench seat to the door panels, and matching carpets line the floors. Equipment includes a hinged pop-out windshield with a visor in addition to Simpson latch-and-link racing lap belts.
Stewart Warner instrumentation in a machine-turned panel consists of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for voltage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 600 miles driven by the seller. A 15-gallon aluminum fuel tank and an Optima battery are mounted in the trunk.
The Chrysler Hemi V8 has reportedly been stroked from 354 to 413ci, and is said to feature custom four-bolt main bearing caps as well as a roller camshaft. Induction is via a belt-driven GMC 6-71 supercharger drawing through twin Holley 650-cfm carburetors. A Mallory Unilite distributor, ceramic-coated stainless steel exhaust headers, and a custom radiator have also been fitted, with the latter using a Moon Racing fuel tank fitted on the nose as an overflow tank. Stainless steel under-car exhaust piping exits at the rear through Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers.
The three-speed, manually-shifted automatic transmission was reportedly custom-built for the application by JW Performance Racing Transmissions and features a 2,000-rpm stall speed torque converter, a deep sump, and two external transmission fluid coolers. Power is fed through a quick-change differential with a Detroit Locker, 3.90:1 gearing, and full floating axles. The seller notes leaks from the front of the engine and the differential quick change cover.
A seller-provided log of parts and labor costs from 2005-09 reportedly totals $93,708.
