This 1930 Ford Model A is a steel-bodied, five-window coupe that was purchased as an unmodified example in 2008 by the seller. The subsequent build involved chopping the top 4″ and installing a louvered deck lid and ’58 Ford-sourced roof, and the body was painted metallic orange and mounted on a custom ’32-style boxed frame. The car rides on drop front end with S&W ladder bars, a Panhard bar, and QA1 coilovers out back, and the staggered Radir wheels measure 18×3″ and 15×10″. Power comes from a 354ci Hemi V8 from a ’56 Chrysler that was rebuilt in late 2023, and the engine is topped by a supercharger and a Hilborn electronic fuel injection system. The transmission is a Tremec five-speed manual that was installed in 2022, and custom details continue in the cabin with two-tone upholstery, a roll bar, a Hurst Indy shifter, Stewart Warner gauges.
The roof was chopped 4″, and the inverted ribbed roof insert was sourced from a ’58 Ford sedan. The windshield visor is drilled, and the windows are tinted to match the metallic orange paintwork that was applied in 2018.
The drilled and chromed I-beam drop axle has a transverse leaf spring, chrome shocks, and hairpin radius rods. 18×3″ Radir spindle-mount front wheels have Duro tires that were mounted in 2025, and discs are utilized up front.
The 15×10″ Radir five-spoke rear wheels have M/T cheater slicks mounted. The rear suspension has S&W ladder bars, a Panhard bar, and QA1 coilovers.
The custom interior has cream and orange upholstery, a six-point roll bar with removable down bars, and a Hurst Indy shifter.
