Happy "eBaying"! Paul R. Wankle, Pres. Classic Cars Ltd. Pleasanton, CA 925-846-1451 SUMMARY - THIS MODEL "A" 5-WINDOW HOT ROD This 5-Window Coupe epitomizes the classic hot rod and was constructed with excellent components to have the appearance of a California Hot Rod that would have been built in the 1950s. The car retains its Henry Ford steel body that has escaped the all too often "chop" and significant alterations to the body or interior. As was often times done to reduce weight and improve performance, the car is fitted with high quality fiberglass fenders, splash pan, and running boards. The build quality of this 5-Window Coupe is high, and the car falls into the category of "turn-key" requiring no work to be used and enjoyed as a reliable, sorted Street Rod. The owner reports that the Ford has been in California for at least 50 years and the indication from a previous owner is that the car may have lived its entire life in sunny California. We have owned and represented a large volume of all types of vehicles during our 25 years in business and this car ha a number of features that many "garage built" street rods do not enjoy. In addition to a high build quality, excellent fit and finish and striking black paint, the cars interior is tastefully done, and timeless. Perhaps most important, virtually everything works down to the factory speedometer, lighting systems, horn, gauges, wipers, and even the interior / dash lights. Seat belts have been added for safety. The Model A has a functional rear rumble seat that is functional and matches the cars interior, and door panels. Also, in the rumble seat area there is a rear battery box that includes a trickle charger that simply needs to be plugged in should the Model A be stored for prolonged periods of time.

The 5-Window is just a great looking Hot Rod. Most important, the car starts, immediately, drives straight, stops well and has really excellent power from the rebuilt, strong Chevy V8. The car has been well maintained over the course of many years, and has been owned by mature enthusiasts who have treated it with the respect that it deserves. It is a reliable street rod that the owner uses it regularly, and indicates that he would ‽drive it anywhere." HISTORY FORD HOT RODS / STREET RODS Hot rods are typically old, classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. The origin of the term "hot rod" is unclear. A possible origin includes replacement of the camshaft with a new ("hotter") version, sometimes known as a hot stick or hot rod. The first hot rods were old cars (most often Fords, typically Model T's, 1928 - 31 Model A's, or 1932-34 Model B's), modified to reduce weight. Typical modifications were removal of convertible tops, hoods, bumpers, windshields, and / or fenders; channeling the body; and modifying the engine by tuning and/or replacing with a more powerful type. Wheels and tires were changed for improved traction and handling. "Hot rod" was sometimes a term used in the 1950s as a derogatory term for any car that did not fit into the mainstream. Hot Rodders' modifications were considered to improve the appearance as well, leading to show cars in the 1960's replicating these same modifications along with a distinctive paint job. Some believe that today's mundane ‽look-a-like" cars have been the reason for a resurgence of hot-rods. While the focus today is more on driving hot rods over racing them, so the term "Street Rod" was coined to denote a vehicle manufactured prior to 1949, often with a more reliable late model drive train. Street Rodding as it was now known was a different phenomenon than hot rodding, as street rodding was mainly family-oriented. National events are hosted by the National Street Rod Association (NSRA), which also stressed safety as the NHRA did 20 years before. Today, there is a contemporary movement of traditional hot rod builders, car clubs, and artists who have returned to the roots of hot rodding as a lifestyle. This includes a new breed of traditional hot rod builders, artists, and styles, as well as classic style car clubs. Events like Grease Orama feature traditional hot rods and the greaser lifestyle. Magazines like Ol' Skool Rodz, Gears and Gals, and Rat-Rods and Rust Queens cover events and people. ABOUT CLASSIC CARS LTD. - Classic Cars Ltd. has been in the same, small, California town for over 24 years. We operate a small "brick & mortar", indoor showroom, and specialize in the sale, consignment, and purchase of sports, high performance and specialty vehicles of all types. We have a particular interest in sports cars and unique vehicles. - The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair. - We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source. Our eBay feedback is 100% positive on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions. - We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive. We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods. Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office. We are often able to obtain quality enclosed transportation (the kind of travel this car deserves) for the cost of open shipping. - Please review our feedback on eBay (user name Never22Many) representing over 930 positive transactions to buyers all over the United States / World. - We are fully insured, bonded, and licensed for collector car sales all over the United States/World. - Classic Cars Ltd. carries a $50,000 Surety bond to cover financial transactions - We frequently sell vehicles to out of State / out of country buyers, and will be glad to provide references for buyers in your area. MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL INFORMATION - As with virtually all collector/specialty vehicles, we find that parts and resources are readily available for this (and most every vehicle), thanks in large part to the Internet. - In addition to the purchase price of the vehicle, California buyers will be subject to sales tax, a documentation fee, DMV transfer fees and license/registration. Out-of-state buyers will be responsible for the purchase price of the vehicle and any local taxes/fees will be the purchaser's responsibility to pay in their respective state. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the vehicle is delivered or driven in California and driven on California roads, sales-tax, license/registration and transfer fees will be assessed per California law. - While we encourage telephone calls to discuss this vehicle in greater detail. If you would prefer that we call you to answer any questions about the vehicle; shipping alternatives, etc. please e-mail us with your telephone number and will gladly get back in touch with you. - We encourage inspections of this Model A by serious, qualified individuals or professional inspectors. Please call at 925-846-1451 to arrange a convenient time. - As with any collectible vehicle of this vintage we are unable to provide a warranty or guarantee of condition. However, we make every effort to accurately represent our vehicles, and highlight both positive items as well as areas that require attention. We ask that prospective buyers consider our eBay history/feedback, standing in the community, length of time in business, and other factors when purchasing a collectible vehicle from Classic Cars Ltd. - Minor cosmetic issues/flaws may be present on every vehicle (regardless of cost) including small chips, nicks, scratches, etc. that can be seen on even the best restoration, or even a relatively new, used "pre-owned" vehicle. Also, ownership of a collectible / specialty vehicle is more enjoyable if the owner is familiar with the "realities" of these unique cars. Unlike more modern day vehicles, these cars require regular, ongoing care/maintenance and some mechanical knowledge, patience, and understanding can make the experience considerably more pleasant. That said, collector / "specialty" car owners will tell you (emphatically) that they love their cars and wouldn't trade them for anything!! - The information contained in this description is believed to be accurate but, in some instances, has been provided by the car's owner / owners or outside sources. As a result, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy of the information. We encourage verification of "numbers" and significant data prior to the purchase of any collector vehicle that you are considering. Thank you, Classic Cars Ltd. 925-846-1451
