Itâs not known whether the engine in this Model A is original to the car, but itâs correct for a Ford of this vintage.
Every 1931 Model A was powered by Fordâs 201-cu. in. flathead inline-four, which had a compression ratio of 4.22:1, received its fuel through either a Zenith or Holley double-venturi carburetor, and produced 40 horsepower.During the restoration, this Model A was converted over to 12-volt electricals, and received dual exhausts. The engine is said to start immediately after the fuel valve is turned on and the manual choke engaged. It does not smoke or use excessive oil. The Ford transmission was removed and replaced by a five-speed Borg Warner T-5 manual, a gearbox that allows the car to cruise at speed but with lower RPMs.
A view beneath the hood reveals a Per Tronix electronic ignition system and distributor, along with generally clean presentation, with only minor surface corrosion visible in a few spots. the paint still presents well after a waxing, describing it as being in overall very good condition. Some chips exist, but the bodywork has no dents and does not need a repaint. The two-tone color scheme is augmented by scarlet pinstriping.Used Ford Roadster 2,865 miles Black
