Ford A

This Ford Model A Tudor is a custom hot rod built in 2019 by Classic Car Studio of St. Louis, Missouri, for the television series Speed Is The New Black. The car features bare metal bodywork channeled over a custom chassis as well as a 5″ roof chop, louvered rear panels, zebrawood roof slats, a custom grille, a tilting front windshield, and brass rivets. The car is powered by a 331ci Hemi V8 with a Weiand supercharger paired with a TCI 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ Ford Industries rear differential. Additional equipment includes a rear-mounted radiator, a custom fuel tank, drop front axle with a transverse leaf spring, a four-link rear suspension setup with adjustable coilovers, staggered-diameter steel wheels, finned drum brakes, dual Holley carburetors, aviation-themed seats stamped with speed holes, and Auto Meter gauges. This modified Ford hot rod is now offered by the selling dealer with a British Columbia registration document listing the car as a 1930 Ford. Beginning in 2019, the body was stripped to the bare metal, and customization included channeling the body over a fabricated frame as well as chopping 5″ from the roof. Additional equipment includes a roof-mounted fuel cap, a tilting windshield, a zebrawood roof section, louvered rear panels with copper rivets, integrated bullet-style taillights, custom headlight buckets, and a custom grille and windshield visor with stamped speed holes. Black-finished steel wheels measure 18″ in the front and 20″ in the rear and are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. The car rides on a custom square-tube chassis, and suspension components include a front drop axle with drilled radius rods and a transverse leaf spring along with a four-link rear setup utilizing adjustable coilovers. Stopping is handled by finned drum brakes. The cabin houses a fabricated dashboard panel, custom door and rear side panels, and a pair of steel seats with stamped speed holes, distressed leather inserts, and brass rivets. Additional interior features include a Lokar shift rod with a leather boot, drilled pedals, and custom-fabricated floor and tunnel sections. A two-spoke steering fronts a custom dashboard housing an AutoMeter 120-mph speedometer with an inset tachometer along with a combination gauge housing readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The digital odometer indicates 167 miles, and the total chassis mileage is unknown. The 330ci Chrysler Hemi V8 is topped with a Weiand 671 supercharged and dual Holley 600-cfm four-barrel carburetors. The radiator has been relocated to the rear, and additional equipment includes a Hot Heads camshaft, a custom air intake scoop, an MSD ignition system, and Patriot Exhaust Products headers feeding into open outlets. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a TCI Super StreetFighter 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end. The number 82743877 is stamped on the chassis, and the same sequence is listed as the car’s identification number on the British Columbia registration. The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a province that does not issue titles. It is being sold on its British Columbia registration.
