Bought not Built  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,941 Member No.: 12,733 Joined: Sep 23rd 2005 Location: Driving through the night, down the hills... |  Image size reduced, original size: 720 x 540. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. I'd like to formally welcome (a week late, unfortunately) the newest member to the Thir13teen family. It's a 1931 Ford Model A Five Window with a rumble seat.  Image size reduced, original size: 720 x 540. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. and oh yes it is sexy. It's got a fully-balanced flathead 4 cylinder with a cylinder head that was originally intended for police usage. With this hot motor, plus a late-model 1940 Ford clutch, this baby can do upwards of 70...30 over the original speed limit. It's got less than 7000 miles on it, and with the exception of the fenders, the sheetmetal's all original. More pictures to come soon when I can find time between gettimg my term bill straightened out, getting packed for school, and working every night as a waiter. |

XD I've seen a few of these cars (referring to decade, not exact car) around, but never up close. So... what's the plan for it? Keep it clean and make it a showroom car? Put it in storage? Weekend cruiser? What happened to your Spitfire? |

It's going to stay stock, and it probably won't be changed much mechanically. Still, it is one sexy beast. |

You sure you don't want to make it into an insane drift battle machine?  That's awesome. Nice to see ancient tech still in that shape. | ||

Too bad he would be doing it wrong... This is the kind of car you wear a three-piece suit with while keeping some moonshine and a Thompson SMG in tow... Shit is gangsta, after all...  | ||
