1928 Speedster
Registered as a 1928, although it looks more like a 1930. It has Insert Rod bearings, Babbitt babbitt mains, Reds Header Exhaust, Weber Intake and Carburetor, Brumfield 5.9 Head, Oversize Intake Valves, 12 volt battery, 3 Speed transmission, Open Drive Line, 19” Model A Ford wheels, Model A Body front (from cowl forward) with custom sheet metal Boat Tail rear. The gas tank is under the Boat Tail, so it has an electric fuel pump. The folding bucket seats are vinyl from a later model van. It has a Model A Front End/Steering and Rear End (3.78:1). I did not build this Speedster, so I am going on what the builder told me about it. I am building a 1930 Speedster, but it is not quite done. I have owned a lot of Model A’s since 1954 (sedans, coupes, cabriolets, station wagons and speedsters), but my wife and I agree that the speedster is the most fun to drive and ride in. That is why I am building one, but I am selling one as I do not need two.
It is in good running condition.
