In the mid-1920s, Ford was faced with a problem. After over 1.5 decades of market domination, the wildly successful Model T was losing its appeal and was being driven out by newer models from competitors. Ford’s answer to this problem was the Model A, which came out in late 1927. Unlike the Model T, it was available in a range of colors and body styles and offered new features and modern technology. Henry Ford was particularly insistent on its durability and manufacturability. In the years and decades to come, this policy would result in the Model A becoming a very popular base for hotrod projects, such as this one. Many Model A hotrods have gone on to achieve fame on film, on TV, and even as sports mascots.
Contrary to the popular mental image of hotrods, the visual modifications on this car are quite subtle, while being distinctive. The steel body has been painted red, and the chosen shade helps the car stand out without being too loud. The overall design has paid homage to the time period, with the wheels being large, but a very period-correct classic design. Even the chrome front end almost resembles a vintage Morgan. It has side exhausts, fitted flush into the bodywork with chrome surrounds, rather than sticking out from underneath. Rather than having a big supercharger standing in front of the windshield (as is popular with hotrods, especially of this vintage), the designers of this build have chosen to have everything sit within the limits of the engine bay. In fact, the seller states that the hood is also available. Additionally, the metal trim has been overhauled. Inside, the theme continues with the grey interior. The leather bench seats have been replaced, and they now have seatbelts as well. The gauge cluster is an aftermarket one and is set in a silver base, which highlights the black gauges.
The original inline 4 engine has been upgraded to a fully built and bored Chevrolet V6 with the current owner reporting that it was assembled in the early 1980's with an upgraded camshaft, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, custom high rise intake manifold and oversized aluminum heads. It’s paired with a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission (contrary to the manual appearance of the tall shifter) to drive the rear wheels through a 9” Ford rear end.
Ford’s Model A was tasked with taking over the mantle from the wildly popular Model T. Introduced for the 1927 model year, it indeed had a yeoman task ahead, which it admirably tackled and conquered. In just five years, over 4.8 million units found homes. They were made in a variety of body styles including two-door (Tudor) saloons, four-door (Fordor) saloons, station wagons, coupes, taxicabs, delivery vans, convertibles and more. Today, these vintage Fords have found a niche as restomod platforms, as well as of course, the finely-restored true-to-original form vehicles. This 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Hot Rod is of the former, and it’s available in Panama City Beach, Florida. With just under 41,000 miles on it, this car comes with air conditioning, an automatic gearbox, a 350ci V8 and more things that make it easier to drive more often.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Model A may not have been as trailblazing as the legendary Model T was, but it’s no less important in the history of the Blue Oval brand. When the Model T was due for retirement, Ford knew that they had a mammoth task in succeeding it with a worthy successor. The successor was the Model A. So how successful was it? Well, in its production run between 1927 and 1931, 4.85 million examples were sold! That’s pretty successful, we’ve got to say. Model A owners could choose from coupes, convertibles, sedans, pickup trucks and some commercial oriented body styles as well. Plus, the Model A was made in multiple countries across the globe, apart from the United States, of course. Now, finding a Model A these days is a little difficult because not many are around – we’re talking about a car that would be nearly a century old! Thankfully, we have an old stalwart from Meridian, Idaho right here. This 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe comes with a 201ci four-cylinder, a 3-speed manual transmission and a two-tone blue exterior. Plus, it’s got under 15,000 miles to its name.
Now here’s one for those who seek a classic Mustang in cruiser style. This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Hot Springs Village, in all its Wimbledon White glory. The vehicle has got over 120,000 miles on its 200ci straight six, and features a 3-speed automatic transmission as well. This makes it great for those who can’t drive stick, or haven’t done so in a long time. We’re told that the car drives exceptional, with no rust, plus everything on the vehicle is fully functional. With over 550,000 Mustangs sold in 1965, finding one isn’t hard, but finding one in great shape like this is rather less conducive. So if you want to get this car for yourself, don’t waste any time in contacting our team.
When you want fuss-free off-roading with dependability and ample ability, a proper SUV like this 1971 Ford Bronco is perfect. Dressed in a nice Mint And White color theme, this simple off-roader doesn’t come with fussy electronics or myriad off-road modes and settings to navigate through. Instead, it relies on a good old 302ci V8, an honest manual gearbox and a proper four-wheel drive system with transfer case. It’s currently up for grabs in Larkspur, Colorado, bearing just under 49,000 miles on the odometer. Plus, the first-generation Bronco is a definitive classic. It redefined the American Sport Utility Vehicle and was made for twelve years before the second generation came to be. And, let’s be honest, it’s one awesome little thing to drive around town too.
Ford’s famous Mustang Mach 1 is a highly revered American classic today. That’s why when cars like this bright red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 from San Jose come on sale, they don’t stay around for long. The Mach 1 was not only a performance package, as the name might suggest, but offered some appearance upgrades too. Only available as a fastback (known s the SportsRoof), cars like this 92,000-mile example struck fear into those with lesser machines at the track or drag strip. Now, this car can be yours and rest assured, it hasn’t lost any of its awesomeness. It might get gapped by today’s trick EVs, but when you’ve got the rumble of an H-code Cleveland for company, nothing else matters.
This 1935 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern street rod while preserving the timeless character of Chevrolet’s pre-war design. Originally produced during a period when streamlined styling and improved engineering were redefining American automobiles, the 1935 Chevrolet featured graceful fender lines, a tall chrome grille, and elegant proportions. This example retains its all-original steel body but benefits from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, creating a classic cruiser that combines vintage style with contemporary performance. Finished in a gray and silver exterior with red pinstriping, this Tudor sedan blends traditional hot rod aesthetics with modern reliability and comfort.
Now here’s a hot rod that’s true to the term to a tee. This 1934 Chevrolet Coupe Hot Rod may have started life off as a Chevrolet Standard when it was new, but it’s now been customized to such an extent, that scant little of its previous life exists. Chevys and Fords from the 1920s and 1930s are extremely popular as hot rod platforms because of their appearance, construction and ease of turning into something truly artistic. This particular car is now up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida and packs a massive 502ci Chevy Big Block under the hood…well, what of the hood is left, because the engine is now partially exposed for all and sundry to see. The car rocks an autobox, rear-wheel drive and has just 20,000 miles on it.
