1931 Ford Model A

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a 1931 Ford Model A street rod. This stunning street rod features an all steel body from front to back. The body is straight as an arrow and is covered in a slick coat of Dupont Red paint which offers an eye catching orange appearance. The inside has been insulated and sound deadened for a quiet and comfortable ride. In addition to the glossy paint there is a tasteful pinstripe which has been hand painted and matches the interior. The hood offers some versatility: if you like to show of the engine, perhaps at a car show, simply unlatch the hood and lift straight of easily to show off the chromed out 302. It is nice to see a Ford with a Ford engine, in this case a performance built 302 CID V8. The engine has been bored .030 over, and has a nice Edlebrock carburetor and intake sitting on top. The 302 has been dressed up with a sharp set of Ansen Classic finned aluminum valve covers and air cleaner. It breathes through a set of Hooker headers and dual exhaust which exits out the back. Cooling has not been forgotten, a Walker radiator has been used to keep it at temp. The engine has been rebuilt about 5,435 miles ago as well as the Ford automatic with overdrive transmission. The Ford sits on a professionally built boxed frame which rest on a Super Bell front dropped axle with 4 bar suspension and panhard bar. The rear is a triangular suspension with Ford 9" rear end with 3.55 gears. The wheels are polished 5 spoke alloys: 14" front and 15" rear wrapped in radial tires. The chrome trim all the way around the vehicle has all been replated. Even the glass has been replaced all the way around with bronze tinted safety glass. Although you'd want to keep this beauty clean, if you do get caught in the rain it has dual electric wipers. The attention to detail in wonderful on this car, from the custom wooden luggage racks to the stainless steel fasteners used all around.
