1930 Ford Model A 40-B Deluxe Roadster
VIN: UTP01484
The seller reports"It has been a very difficult decision to put my 1930 Model A 40-B Deluxe Roadster with rumble seat on auction. The restoration of this fine antique car all started in 1985. I purchased the body, chassis and parts from Ernie Coats of Meeker Colorado. It was completely weathered and not assembled. Pictures of the pre-restoration condition are included.
A couple of years later I decided to restore my car in the best way I knew. I started this journey by completely refurbishing every part in my frame up restoration that I had and committed that any part I didnt have would be of best quality available. A few years later I contracted with Berts Early Ford in Denver, Colorado to restore the chassis to include rebuilding the stock engine. As time went on I with a few of my trusted and professional friends completed the restoration to the original condition."
