The body as you can see from the pictures does have cool REAL bullet holes and a few dents and dings here and there. Hey it's 80 years old right! As far as rust goes there is a small bit behind the drivers side wheel but all in all it's pretty damn solid. It was wire wheeled and primed with rust-o-leum as was the entire frame. Not with a rattle can but a gun.

This has a clear Colorado title and plates (registered as a 1929 Ford Model A Coupe). Will also include a spare 16" wire wheel with tire and the engine documentation/build sheet from the builder.

This hot rod gets looks no matter where I go and is a blast to drive! It was built with safety in mind and 100+ mile trips are no issue.

!!!!Things you should know!!!!!!
- The 39 ford trans does leak and should have the seals redone on it. They are only about $75 from vanpelts Occasionally it pops out of 3rd gear but it's rare. Shifts fine and the leak does not impact it. Keep it full and you will have no issue with a long road trip.
- 53-56 Ford Steering box will need to be redone in the near future. It drives fine and I drive it to work every now and again which is 35 miles each way.
- The lake style headers were off an old hot rod a friend had and were obviously made back in the day. Baffles have been tacked in them to quiet'em down a bit. One header sticks slightly out from the body as it came off a car that had cowl steering. If you are anal you can replace them with some jaysters or something cool.
- The speedo as stated above works perfectly however is off a bit once you get above 40mph. There is a 19 tooth gear in the trans that will need to be swapped out. I did not have time to figure out of I needed a 20 or 21 tooth gear or to go the opposite direction. Vanpelt has them too.

PRICE: $15000.00
NO TRADES!!!!!!!! Please don’t waste my time unless you actually have the money to purchase this. If you have to sell something first, ask your wife, or get a loan, take care of that beforehand.
