Seller's comments about 1929' Ford Model A

6457 1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan For consignment, a meticulously maintained 1929 Ford Model A Tudor sedan hot rod with a Chevrolet small block in the engine compartment, a Chevrolet truck frame underneath, and a long list of other features and modifications that mostly took place during restoration in the 90s. Retro flames and a bright yellow paint job means theres no blending in with this show piece, and if thats your thing, read on! Exterior Grabbing a piece of the sun, this bright Yellow Tudor comes towards you with a flame orange frame around the grille and airbrushed licks of flame on the wide front fenders and over the hood where they stop at the cowl. From there its yellow on yellow with nothing but door handles and side mirrors to veer from the finish. Even the back is a wall of yellow with small rear taillights and a gas tank cap over a yellow tank that creates a gleaming example of monochromatic coverage. Wheel size is staggered with 14-inch up front and 15-inch out back, consisting of American Racing Torque Thrust wheels with tires that show a late 2021 date code and giving the car a classically raked stance. Engine covers are off leaving the powerplant exposed as a showpiece and the tinted windows are a nice touch. We find one small crack in the paint on a wheel arch and the consignor states there is a paint shade difference between the fenders and hood, but its not apparent. Interior A brown palette is on the inside and starts with stitch patterned door panels with small cloth map pocket at the bottom along with a window crank and door actuator up top. Saddle toned low backed bucket seats are mounted up front and consignor notes these are not on tracks and his 510 height fits fine. The rear bench mirrors the upholstery and exists in a simple back area with unobstructed cloth sidewalls. A banjo style steering wheel sits on a yellow tilt column and sits under the airbrushed flames on the top of the yellow dashboard under which a smooth yellow panel houses a series of retro style Stewart Warner gauges. A modern retro looking shifter is floor mounted and surrounded by mats that mirror our map pocket material with saddle edging. The brake pedal is split wide from the gas and the consignor suggests left footed braking because its a long travel with the right. The headliner is made of the same footwell material and is in fine condition and the interior in general, is very clean and tidy. Drivetrain Exposed to the world is the 350ci V8 topped by a Dominator 4-barrel carburetor and wearing coated headers and some polished accessories. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is behind the engine spinning power to the rear wheels and 3.08 gears with positraction. Disc brakes are on all four wheels. Our consignor states the electric fan keeps temps down and blows through an aluminum radiator. Undercarriage Starting with the exhaust, straight polished tips of the dual exhaust lead to a pair of polished resonators, then chambered pipes, and finally up to the headers. Its very clean underneath and that includes the Mustang II front end with coilovers and the 4 link with coil overs in the back. We dont see any surface rust and only a bit of residual oil on the rear diff, otherwise clean and dry. Drive-Ability We hopped into this all steel car and ran our test loop with ZZ Tops Legs in our head. And fittingly, its best to use both legs to control the pedals, a skill comes easy after some practice. It runs out well with good power and adequate braking and sounds fantastic. There is some vibration on braking which could be warped rotors and our consignor states he kept it under 60 on the highway because it is top heaviness and we didnt test this claim. This show winning car had its oil changed once a year, even if it only drove 1,000 miles and only drank premium gasoline. And it comes with a custom car cover! These things point to a car that has been loved and well maintained and will surely give the next keeper of the flames many good memories and miles of sunshine yellow smiles!
