SOLD 1930 Model A Woodie Hot Rod The last 2 owners have passed away but I was able to gather some history from people familiar with the car. The Woodie was built around 1980 by California Street Rods in Huntington Beach and the original owner lived on the coast in the San Diego area. It was always garage kept and rarely driven although it was a regular at Wavecrest events and is pictured in the June 2002 issue of Street Rodder magazine. I found some pictures on the web from later Wavecrest events but the car probably has been driven less than 5,000 miles since it was built. California Registration remained current through 2016. The car runs good and the trans shifts smooth. It was clearly a high end build and seems to be mechanically sound but after 35+ years it could use some detailing and updates. The car is a true Woodie and has all the Woodie specific hinges, brackets, seats, cowl etc. New wood was purchased in 1978 probably from Doug Carr. The fenders are fiberglass and the right front has a crack and old repair at the front. The wood is in good condition and was refinished once. The stock gas tank is still in the cowl. The seats are recovered originals. It has a tilt steering column. The chassis features all the top of the line parts of the era. The frame is T.C.I. and the front suspension is a narrow Super Bell tube axle, Pete & Jakes 4 Bar, Mustang steering and disc brakes. When new the front suspension was all chrome but after years on the coast it has all been painted black. The rear is an 8” with ladder bars and coil overs. The motor is a 350 Chevy that was new when the car was built. It has the cool old CSR built headers and a Walker radiator w/ electric fan. The trans is Turbo 350 w/ Gennie shifter. Please call with any questions. Would consider partial trades for Early Ford cars, projects, bodies or parts. $28,000 865-755-7019
