1930 Ford Model A Victoria

For consignment, a street rodded 1930 Ford Model A Victoria showing 11,485 non actual miles, with a Blueprint crate engine and a novelty matching trailer in tow that’s actually useful!  The design was so popular that 1931 saw 37,000 Victoria’s produced and carried through to 1934.

Exterior

Striking in its design, the two tone Ford carries black over the top third, richly contrasted by teal on the bottom.  The delineation is not just a straight line but contains a pointed spear flowing from the cowl while head on, the car is steeped in black from the light rings to the grille and radiator shell teal takes over from there on the fenders and the connecting running board in spectacular fashion.  15-inch polished American Racing Torque Thrust wheels carry widely varied tires from front to back, helping create an aggressive rake to the car’s profile.  Out back, the small teardrop trailer is painted to match and even the tubular tongue is painted teal, and it rolls on Torque Thrust wheels to match!  Chopped, bumperless, and clean, imperfections are noted as some cracking paint, spider cracks in both the teal and black, and chips.               

Interior

A swing of the door, and we can see a tweed pattern in light blue covering on the door panels which are complete with a purple accent, aluminum panels for housing the power window toggles, and a billet style actuator.  Our consignor states new window motors have been added.  Turning our attention to the interior, more light blue tweed this time covering a bench seat with a split back while a full bench is in the rear of this car in the same material, all in good condition.  Legroom in the back is extremely limited and may better serve as a package shelf.  Up front, the dash has been simplified and now houses an elongated oval painted teal, and aluminum panel inserts for the central gauge cluster.  Below a custom fabricated box in aluminum houses the Vintage Air and heater controls and other pull knobs which are machined aluminum.  A black dash top and some black pinstripe flourishes complete the dash.  A teal tilt steering column has a Lecarra billet style steering wheel on top with billet style machined pedals below.  A detailed headliner catches your eye with more of the light blue tweed, some embossing forming a pattern, and some snappy purple accent panels along with a built in box for the AM/FM/CD radio.  A purple Eeyore decal on the dash pulls it all together.  

Drivetrain

Behind the engine covers, we find a spotless Blueprint 355ci V8 with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Blueprint aluminum heads, putting out a consignor stated 390 horsepower.  Coated headers along with polished and chrome engine components make this an engine worth exposing for shows.   A rebuilt TH400 3-speed automatic is behind it sending power to the rear wheels.  Disc brakes are supplied front and rear and new brake lines have been added. 

Undercarriage

All done right with a continuation of the mixture of black and teal, it shows some road dirt but no surface rust nor errant fluids are found.  The dual exhaust comes from the headers and receives some bling from the stainless steel mufflers, then out to the oval chrome tips.   A Mustang II front end is on board which brings with it rack and pinion steering while Corvette IRS includes new leaf springs in back.  

Drive-Ability

This comfortable compact interior completely wrapped in blue tweed is a soft walled environment that feels as cozy as a wooded den, only this one is mobile!  We prime the pump and crank the 355 to life, then roll this two tone wonder onto the test loop where its raked stance gives us a view of the road ahead over the long hood.  There’s good power underfoot and nice handling aided by 265/70SR15 tires in back, and road imperfections are absorbed well, making a long road trip an attractive possibility.  Meanwhile, all other functions work as advertised!  While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.  

Be sure to reserve two spots at the car show because you’re going to want to show the matching trailer, but even if you leave it home, this is a stunning and striking car with all the right ingredients street rodders desire.  We’re not getting any younger and that project car just isn’t getting done any time soon, so step into this turnkey show car while you chip away at the project, and you’ll have the best of both worlds with two color extravagance!
