1928 Ford Model A Pickup

Description

This is one sharp antique truck and the unmistakable signs of its skilled construction are evident everywhere you look - from its magnetic exterior to its well-appointed interior and even the undercarriage below. This 1928 Ford Model A Pickup is a great example of a pivotal vintage car built with exacting care and it comes complete with a collection of restoration photos that document the process.

This '28 is only about 3,000 miles past its build and a combination of craftsmanship and subtle modification have resulted in one fine looking ride. The body alignment displayed here is so precise you'll likely notice it right away (everything but the rear fenders is steel) - the body panels line up impressively well with each other and the gaps surrounding the doors and deck lid are as even as any you're likely to find. The bright red shade draped over the exterior adds a great, high impact look - it's smooth all over and offers a wet-looking shine. The top of the cabin has been chopped about 4" and the work was done with such precision that the seams are virtually undetectable. The lustrous paint really takes center stage on this build but the brightwork on display is all in its top form - from the chrome surrounding the jet black front grille on back to the steel supports gracing the tailgate. Take a look below while you're back there and you'll see a pair of ultra-sharp, trumpet shaped chrome exhaust tips.

There's no letdown to the quality when you venture inside. The charcoal gray interior is very nicely finished, with a fresh condition throughout that suggests it's seen very little activity. The bench seat mixes vinyl and cloth to great effect, with inserts that blend perfectly with those of the door panels to each side. The color-matched dash features an assortment of Classic Instrument gauges that combine with a SunPro tach to keep tabs on motoring functions. A Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo sits at the center to attend to your audio needs while on the road and the bed area in back is in very good order, with well-prepped planks lining the floor and a secured spare tire on hand . . . just in case.

Power for this classic comes via a circa '88 L98 engine that's really running great - outfitted with a 4-barrel carb under a dual chrome air cleaner, it vocalizes a great note into its shorty headers leading into the dual exhaust and just a tap on the accelerator will confirm the notion that there'll be plenty of power at your disposal. The 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission it pairs with shifts with precision and has been outfitted with a cooler to up its dependability in more demanding conditions. An HEI ignition has also been added to maximize spark, while the radiator up front features an electric fan to keep engine temperatures in check. With a coilover suspension in back and good alignment up front, this Model A tracks nice and straight and the front disc brakes help bring its Boyd Coddington wheels - 14" in front and 15" in back - to dependable stops. The view from below is downright impressive - the undercarriage is about as clean as any you'll find.

Not all vintage rides are built equally. This 1928 Ford Model A Pickup shows outstanding quality in all respects and its upgraded drivetrain makes it a blast to drive. Call today!
