Get A Bucket: 1931 Ford Model A


This Ford Model A is said to be a good original condition chassis that just needs a few parts to complete.  We really like the fact that this could be either a 1930 or 1931 chassis and it appears to be well preserved for sitting outside in a field for the past 80 years.  If it were ours, we'd restore it to stock or put a 21 Window VW bus chassis powered by a Porsche 912 on it; either way it is a win-win situation for everyone involved.  Find it here on craigslist for $1000 in Northridge, CA.

  2. The differential is said to have been packed in priceless black truffle oil. We'd probably use it on grilled branzino and substitute the lsd from an e21 BMW "s" model.

    I dunno guys, I'm not really digging the modifications done to this one. There's something to be said for minimalism (and as a bonus, this could be shown on the lawn at Pebble Beach in the "survivor hot rod" class) but isn't it unsafe to drive around without a seat or seatbelts?

    That being said, the aesthetics of these pre-war Fords have a certain je ne sais quoi about them. Something about those angular lines vanishing off to the distance makes me want to put on my tweed elbowed jacket and cruise the peninsula between auctions, letting the admirers just take it all in.

  4. Folks, I think you are all missing something: this is the rare Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak Model A. Everything is there, you just can't see it.
