1930 Ford Model A

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Built on the Ford Model A chassis that was introduced in 1928, "Speedsters" were typically owner-built or crafted by specialty coachbuilders who sought to capture the look and spirit of early racing cars. They featured lightweight bodies, minimal fenders, low windscreens, and open cockpits, emphasizing performance and style over practicality.

The Model A's robust 201ci four-cylinder engine and durable drivetrain made it a popular foundation for these custom conversions. Many Speedsters were assembled during the 1930s, while others were recreated by collectors in later decades.

This 1930 Speedster appears to have gone through several iterations to reach its current state. It reportedly retains its original inline-four engine and three-speed manual transmission, but it has received numerous upgrades during current ownership, including a replacement radiator, starter, fuel tank and fuel system, new tires (with an additional spare), as well as cosmetic improvements.

The car has been refinished in green with black-spoked wheels, and it currently wears racing number 01 on its grille and rear quarter panel. Additional features include a custom exhaust, two custom windscreens, a large circular rearview mirror, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, full gauge cluster, and floor-mounted shifter.

Although the car is said to start and runs, the seller states that it should be considered a project.

This Ford Model A Speedster is now offered with a clean Florida title in the owner’s name calling it a 1930 Ford Model A.
