Description of 1930 Ford Model A

MODEL A FORD SPORTS ROADSTER PERIOD BUILD AND WITH A DECADES LONG HOT ROD HISTORY.
Genuine real-deal-Henry-steel roadster body hot rod original and un-rusted - so far as I can tell, with welded-in flat steel floors, modified firewall, and a beautifully done-right installed genuine Henry steel '40 Ford dash, the way they used to do it "back in the day". Ostensibly, these mods go back many decades most probably in Mississippi. The car also retains its original chassis.
Circa 1996, and still in Mississippi, the car underwent a significant "restoration" and "updating" to more of a street rod configuration. It is unclear what changes were made to suspension and underside but the original Henry-steel body was retained and repainted in Centari acrylic enamel 1970 Chrysler "bright red" along with fiberglass fenders, hood top and '32 grill shell. The splash guards and running boards are steel.
The 1996 updating included quality VDO instruments and billet aluminum insert installed in the original Henry-steel '40 Ford dash, Mr. Goodwrench 350 Chevy engine w/ Weber four bbl and 350 trans., a glide seat, new top irons, top, and upholstery, Walker radiator, disc brakes up front, chrome shocks, dropped headlight bar w/ King Bee headlights, 4 bar front and rear suspension, Pontiac tail lights, adjustable coil overs at rear and a Ford 9" dif.
The car then appears to have had 4370 miles until approx. 2000 when it was put into storage until about 2015 when it was taken out and the following additions done, a new Vega steering box installed with cross steering, new starter, new Accel HEI distributor, new 18 gallon fuel tank, new fuel pump and a very handsome Grant wood-rim steering wheel.
The car currently starts, runs, drives, steers, handles, and stops, very well. All gauges, lights, turn signals, horns, work very well, including the clock! The car does not have power brakes, power steering, radio, heater, or wipers. The paint is excellent for being 24 years old enamel and the car presents very well and attracts lots of attention. Tires are Coker Classic wide white wall radials and appear nearly new. There is a new battery.
The car is equipped with a trailer hitch receiver which doubles as a spare wheel mounting point, that is, the tire mount can be slid out from the receiver and replaced with a trailer hitch (included). Presumably, the tire mount could then be mounted to the rear of any trailer in the same way, (very clever!).
This car begs to be driven.
Comes with a clean, clear, hassle-free, issue-free New Mexico title in my name.

A very special car for a special kind of owner.
