The wifes new Model A Coupe

So I get this text from 55WILLYS .......says "1930 Model A sbc 5 speed 9" Mike 360 **x-**** $6500"
One of the best body's I have seen in a long time. well done repairs and good fabrication on the frame and suspension. Basically a "Good Build" The guy is 82yo and been building on it for the last 12 years. So far I see no fixin just finish it the way momma wants it.
Momma's been wanting another a coupe with 3 pedals. I have a 28-29 coupe mothballed for her but this should save me some moves. She's not happy about the sbc ...wants one of the flatties. Told her maybe later still plenty time. For now I will be getting it road ready and a little more presentable.
Just thought I would take time to share!

 

Neat hot rod. Have fun with it.

 

Shouldn't take long to be on the road. Good find.

 

Nice Buy , Nice looking Coupe..

 

Cool project - once you do paint and interior her way and she gets out on the road with it maybe she will be OK with the motor.

 

Nice coupe, the firewall is late 31 (May 31 or later).

 

Thanks for the info....good to know!

 

lucky lady!!! i'd love to have a nice Model A hot rod like that! good luck with the build man!!

what are those rear tires?? never seen that tread pattern before!

 

Wow, wish you could find something like that for $6,500 around here. Nice score!

 

Yeah me too! old off road tires. Sure wish they were in better shape.

 

Hell of a deal!

 

Nice

 

That's a great deal, I'm sure mom will enjoy it, even with a Chevy in it!

 

Great car! Nice to have your woman into the scene as well.

 

Looks awesome

 

Thanks for the responses guys. She's pretty happy about it. My other cars don't fit many people besides me. She got in hit the pedals and smiled. Here's a couple more shots that I couldn't get loaded earlier. Looks like so far am missing one of those pieces with the door pull molded in. The one I have is mint as are the window garnish.

 

Great score. HRP

 

great car!!! as long as ive been into cars I have never ,repeat never run upon a deal like this one!! great score...

 

I saw a small note on the door of the shop at work so I texted fastrnu about it. Then went to look at it and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the body was and the quality of the build. So I called fastrnu you gotta see this. After I got home from work and so did his wife we drove the 30+miles back to look at it. Deal done! Nice to help a friend score a good deal. Jim (55willys)

 

hell of a nice find. hope my ole lady doesnt see that. shes been wanting a coupe ever since i sold my roadster.

 

No doubt, I paid $5500 for mine, with original motor and drivetrain that's of no use to me.

 

nice car man...i just love model a coupes...let me know if youre serious about the flathead..i have a complete one i might want to sell

 

cool...

 

great buy! who the heck gave this thread 1 star? man there are some haters on this site. seriously.

 

Sooo still got it? lemmee know I,d love to do a speedster

 

Thanks partner, I have a pair salted away. Probably let her drive it till her surgery. Then tear it down and stick one of the 8ba's in it with a 5 speed.

 

I'm diggin' the exhaust. Maybe a little toasty on the leg if you're not careful, but I'm sure it won't take more than once to learn! Dennis D

 

I've still got the whole drive train... it's a complete car, 31 coupe, pic on my profile. You interested in the drive train or the whole car? PM me so we don't jack his thread...

 

Be hard to jack my own thread LOL
How on earth did you find such a straight 32 in the Midwest. I lived a bit in Michigan. Saw 2 year old cars totally rusted through. Had a 63 olds with a chain binder holding the frame together and no floor in the back seat. door catch's creaked when I took a corner
