1929 Ford Model A Fordor Project

1929 Ford Model A Fordor Briggs Leatherback Description

This 1929 Ford has gone through a lot of work, but unfortunately life changes have put the finish line out of our reach. Our loss is your gain. We've purchased almost everything needed to finish it. The main show stopper now is a paint job, and after that its just assembly. No wood work needed!

This project is pretty much all just assembly. It was never intended to be a show car, we wanted to finish it off to look decent and drive on the roads.

This car runs and drives, and has a legal PA title (!!!!!) and included is a 1929 license plate.

The car does run, and it does drive, and you can test drive it. Engine runs strong and trans shifts through all the gears without issue. The car cannot be driven to its destination, it will need to be transported.

You see in the pictures the car is sitting on a set of 19s, but we are including a full set of 21s with a set of used, but good, tires and brand new inner tubes.
