Rebuildable & Reconstructed Description1931 Ford Model A Roadster Barn Find with the rare and desirable Indented Cowl offered by Gas Monkey Garage! First produced in October 1927. the new Model A was designated as a 1928 model and was available in four standard colors. By February 4. 1929. one million Model A’s had been sold. and by July 24. Henry Ford had sold two million. By March 1930. Model A sales hit three million. and there were nine body styles available. This is the very desirable 2 Door Roadster with indented cowl that is the subject of many Hot Rod and Rat Rod builds. This very good older restoration has been preserved in a protected storage building before the current restoration process was begun but stalled prior to me finding it. This Original Model A is solid and fairly rust free with a very straight and undamaged body (see all pics)! Now there are several cars that I always buy when I find them and clean. solid Model A Roadsters with the indented cowl are one of them. When I saw how nice and original this one was I acted quickly to secure it and get it back to the shop. Now this would be a great project for Aaron and the other Monkeys to perform their magic on but with our filming schedule we just can’t(sold as is/where is) so I decided to offer it you just the way I found it sitting in the barn all these years so you can build it the way you want. This car had the original seat recovered years ago (the 50’s?) and is mostly complete (please note this is a rumble seat car and while most of the hardware is present. the rumble seat frames are not present) needing some love in the interior department to return it back to what Henry had in mind 83 years ago (included but not installed are the door and kick panels also!). The exterior is in good condition with most of the trim present (just look at that temp gauge on the radiator cap!). The top frame is present and in good usable condition however the fabric top has not fared as well (see all pics!)The original 201 cid 4 cylinder motor & 3 speed transmission are present (but untested) as well as some period correct accessories like lights. horns. etc… (see all pics!). This awesome 1931 Model A Roadster may be seen on the hit show Fast N Loud and the winning bidder may have the option of taking delivery here at the shop or we'll help with shipping logistics.

His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family. and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator. his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say. this stayed with Richard. Rawlings was always working. and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one. he’d been a cop. a fireman. and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch. he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy. and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later. the company sold. and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born. Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented. and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened. Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest. most expensive. most badass hot rod shop to be found. with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy. but signed on anyway. Eight years later. the shop is all that and more. They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background. Rawlings has a handle on the market. and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less. the job will be done. whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long. Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation. not a stockpile. Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style. push a brand. and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop. armed with his mastery of mechanics. electrics. and fabrication. The dynamic is vital. the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars. and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B. S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari. ” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods. ”See our other listings
