1931 Ford Model A Phaeton

Description

This one looks like a well-built 1931 Ford Phaeton inside and out – it's even so fresh that there's less than 650 miles on the build. But as you look at the hot rod black paint, V8 in the engine bay, the chassis underneath, and all the other upgrades, it soon becomes clear that this mild classic is really a wild child.

The body on this car looks quite authentic. It's a quality fiberglass unit on this new build, and so it fits together like a much more modern/precision machine. Matte black is a hot rodder's favorite. And while they just laid it on quickly back in the day, you can tell this application was by someone who liked to take their time to get it right. They even did a terrific job in the details, like with the custom front end, chopped windshield, and the rear panel is notched to fit the dual exhaust. And we particularly like how the full pinstripe package coordinates with the color of the wire wheels. It really gives this a well-finished and sleek look. And that's exactly what you want on a Phaeton – arguably the smoothest Ford body design of the era.

Just like a true hot rod, the interior mixes old-school with upgrades. So you get classic elements like a four-spoke steering wheel and a bright gauge console in the center of the dash. But now you've got a ton of upgraded readouts, including a nice Stewart Warner speedo mounted below the dash. The seats have a cool classic look, but there's also a plushness that comes from a modern investment. So it keeps everyone comfortable in this four-door roadster.

One look at the engine bay, and you can instantly see why this one earns its hot rod style. This is a newer performance crate V8. The 350 cubic-inch block looks great on display thanks to the bold block and all the polished components – including the alternator, exhaust, valve covers, and air topper (that one also gives this Chevy V8 a little Ford disguise.) And you can tell they really spent time crafting this overall tidy display. It even has the right supporting components like the MSD ignition and large electric fan. The V8 inhales deeply from a four-barrel carburetor, and that helps give a sweet sound to the custom dual exhaust. It's backed up by a stout Hughes Performance TH350 three-speed automatic transmission w/shift kit. That feeds the Currie Ford 9-inch rear end. And just like a true hot rod, you have a strong four-link suspension at both ends. Plus, there are disc brakes up front and Ridetech coilovers in the rear.

Complete with build receipts, this is the unique, lightweight, and fresh classic Ford you've been looking for. So don't let this opportunity slip away, call today!
