1930 Ford Model A traditional, nostalgic hot rod / street rod coupe “The Hollywood Howler” Professionally built by Shockley Customs, Fort Worth, TX around 2008-10 This nostalgic, classic 1960s era looking rod has only been driven 4000 miles since being built. After sold by Shockley Customs, the second owner had a completely rebuilt 354 cui Hemi installed in 2015 as well as a fully rebuilt TH350 transmission. (That drive train has less than 2000 miles on it.) The Hollywood Howler runs very good and strong, it has less than 2000 miles on it since the completely rebuilt Hemi engine and automatic transmission was installed. It is a smooth ride, steady on the road. I sit very comfortably in it with my 5.11ft with one hand loose on the steering wheel at 85mph. NOTE: The coupe comes with two set of wheels / tires. One set of tires has about 300 miles on them, and the current set has less than 50 miles since new. Body: All steel 1930 Ford.
