Seller's Introduction

duPont REGISTRY Live presents this beautifully built 1931 Ford Model A, showing just 238 miles since completion and benefiting from a high-quality nut-and-bolt restoration by Shock Therapy in Bellbrook, Ohio. Built around an all-steel body and Brookville chassis, this Model A incorporates a carefully selected collection of high-end components throughout, with exceptional attention to fit, finish, and build quality. The result is a classic Ford with timeless styling and modern performance, comfort, and drivability.

Overview

The Model A is one of the most recognizable American automobiles of the pre-war era, and this example preserves the character of the original design while transforming the driving experience. Rather than simply restoring the car to stock specification, the build combines the classic steel body with a modern fuel-injected V8, independent suspension, power steering, air conditioning, and a four-speed automatic transmission.

The exterior is finished in a striking Burgundy and Black combination and features a full steel body, chrome bumpers, side-view mirrors, and 15-inch wire wheels. A rear rumble seat and rear luggage compartment retain the Model A's traditional character, while an Awooga horn adds an unmistakably vintage touch. The quality of the restoration is evident throughout the bodywork and trim, with the deep paint and carefully finished details complementing the car's classic proportions.

Inside, the custom cabin is upholstered in Light Gray leather and combines a clean, understated design with modern amenities. Dakota Digital gauges, a Banjo steering wheel, power windows, a LoKar shifter, and Vintage Air air conditioning provide a comfortable and functional driving environment, while a Kenwood head unit and JBL speakers add modern audio capability without compromising the classic character of the Model A.

Power comes from a fuel-injected Ford 347 stroker V8, equipped with Borla 8-Stack intake and fuel injection, Holley Terminator X fuel management, and a March accessory drive kit. The engine sends power through a 4R70W four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. The chassis is equipped with front coilovers, tubular A-arms, and rack-and-pinion steering, while the rear features a 4-link suspension with Panhard bar. Combined with the Brookville chassis and power steering, the modernized suspension provides a significantly more capable and composed driving experience while retaining the character of the classic Model A.

With just 238 miles since completion, an all-steel body, Brookville chassis, 347 stroker V8, Kugel suspension, custom interior, and high-end component selection throughout, this 1931 Ford Model A represents a thoughtfully executed restomod built with an emphasis on quality rather than simply appearance. Completed by Shock Therapy in Bellbrook, Ohio, the car combines exceptional build quality with a striking Burgundy and Black presentation and the comfort and performance expected from a modernized classic.

Inspectors Notes: This is a really cool A. There are not many running around anymore built to this level. A lot of these were built with basic Chevrolet 350 V8s, so it's always good to see one built with Ford power, especially a stroker motor! The Brookville chassis makes this one a real treat to drive and the fit and finish is truly excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our quick test drive with the team testing out the rumble seat. This one is offered now at no reserve only here on duPont Registry Live!
