Asking $42,000, find this HEMI-powered Model A here on Chicago Craigslist.This spacious and modern apartment features 2 bedrooms and one full bathroom (shower and bath). With a spec sheet like that, it’s no surprise this one breaks the mold with a fat price tag. The Champion cast gauge cluster and vintage Stewart-Warner gauges are also a home run. The coupe’s interior also leaves nothing to be desired, with a well-worn leather seat over bare steel. The headline of the program is of course the HEMI engine though, a 392 ci Chrysler pushed to 417 ci and topped with an Offenhauser intake, six Stromberg carburetors, original Mickey Thompson valve covers and lake-style headers. It rides on a boxed original ’32 Ford chassis with a Muncie four-speed, Halibrand quick-change rear end and aluminum Buick brake drums. This original ’31 coupe body features a nice chop, a ribbed steel roof, an original ’32 Ford grille shell and is said to retain some of its original paintwork. With a 417 ci Chrysler HEMI engine under the hood and tons of hard-to-find parts, this ’31 Ford is a real knockout, and priced in a league of its own at $42,000. These hot rods weren’t exactly arranged in a countdown fashion, but it would be wrong to go out without a bang, and this last Model A is exactly that. Find it here on Los Angeles Craigslist for $18,999. Pulled from an ’01 ’Vette, this engine produced 350 hp in stock trim, and should scoot the roadster along well with a T5 manual transmission and Olds rear axle.įrom the wheels and tires to the old-school paint scheme, this Model A is a knockout, and the LS is a fun surprise and an entertaining test at car shows. That’s right, a Chevrolet LS powers this Model A, but it’s somewhat cleverly hidden under a pair of Oldsmobile valve covers and lake-style headers with baffles. Everything is about what you’d expect to see from the beam axle up front to the steelies and old-school rubber, until you see the front discs, a pair of aluminum cylinder heads and a modern serpentine belt setup. It’s a steel 1930 roadster body on a 1930 chassis, and it looks to have had some channeling done at some point. I promised you only legit old-school hot rods, but even with the LS engine, this Model A still checks all the boxes, and it’s hiding quite well in plain sight. The roadster asks $18,000 here on Orlando Craigslist. This thing’s right from top to bottom and is sure to be adored by onlookers of all ages. The body sits on a 1930 frame with full manual brakes and a four-cylinder engine with an Ansen aluminum intake and two-barrel carburetor. ![]() Opium aside, this ’27 Ford nails the custom high boy/roadster look perfectly, as the body is still mounted atop the chassis without any channeling work done. It wasn’t until the post-war era that “hot” evolved to describe something cool, hip, or fast and “hot rod” became the universal term for a modified car.” “While the term is usually applied to hopped-up Model-Ts, the etymology of the word “gow” goes back to the 1800s and the Cantonese word for opium, “yao-kao.” The term was used in horse racing to describe drugged-up or “gowwed-up” horses, and the phrase made a short leap to early hot rods that were similarly hopped up for performance. To make sense of the terminology though, read this quick passage from Hagerty: More specifically, gow job actually refers to pre-war customs and the earliest post war hot rods, where the primary form of modification was lightening by removal of unnecessary parts. The term gow job may strike you as odd, maybe you haven’t even heard it before, but in fact it predates the more commonly used term hot rod. ![]()
