Used 1930 MODEL A TUDOR EXCELLANT CONDITION - cars & trucks - by owner -... for sale in Oak Hill, FL

The primary reason I bought this car was to go through it from one end to the other in order to study and enhance its design, it's just what I have done my whole life with all kinds of automobiles as my hobby. I am a very neat, organized, picky and patient mechanic with an A&P license who works as a Mechanical Engineer on the Space Program. I take a lot of pride in taking my time to do thing the right way and anyone who has ever bought one of my automobiles when I am through with them has been VERY HAPPY.

Although this car was in very good shape when I bought it I spent about 2 or 3 months going through it from one end to the other and have truly enjoyed the experience and the history lesson. I noticed a few things that bothered me when I first drove the car, there was a lot of heat coming from the firewall into the cabin, the drivers seat was way to close to the dash and there was no water temperature gage on the instrument panel. So I installed a water temperature gage, installed duel sided reflective and padded thermal barrier insulation under the entire interior floormats and purchased and installed some 2 inch extensions for the front drivers seat. All the fluids have been changed, zerk fittings greased, and 30w oil applied where required . I rewired the entire car with an original wiring harness and installed a 6 volt Battery Tendor that comes with the car. The other Model A folks told me that the 20 amp fuse was supposed to be removed whenever you parked the car for long periods of time or else the battery would drain down so I installed a heavy duty battery ON/OFF switch to take care of that problem. I pulled all the brake drums and all the pads are like new. I adjusted the brakes and re-packed both the front and rear wheel bearings. I rebuilt the carburetor, flushed the radiator had all 4 tires balanced.

As far as drivability goes I am amazed at how well this car performs on the road. The non-synchromesh transmission shifts smoothly into 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears and the car accelerates better than I expected. It will cruise very comfortably at 50 mph. I have taken the entire interior apart and have crawled under the car and saw no evidence of this Model A ever having been repaired from an accident. This car is truly all original and absolutely everything works, even the vacuum operated windshield wiper!
