It took the builders of this 1929 Ford Roadster ten years to piece it together, and they just finished the project. Now that all the pieces of the thing have found the right place in the assembly and are functioning properly, the custom built hot rod is of course for sale.
Over the past few months we’ve seen quite the number of such projects, but most of them were rather old in terms of their date of completion. This one here, having been finished in 2019, is one of the freshest currently on the market, and was also barely used: the odometer shoes it has traveled just 60 miles.
To be found in Mesa, Arizona, the 1929 Ford Roadster is built just like all other hot rods of its kind, with the exposed engine sandwiched between the large aluminum radiator and the passenger compartment, and with the open wheels holding it on the ground.
The body comes in a color not often seen on such machines, called Hatteras Green, which has also been sprayed on the headlight housings for symmetry.The simple-shaped body panels that form the cabin are adorned at the front with a chopped windshield, and at the rear with blue-dot tailights, and a trunk hinge taken from a 1950s Ford.
The roofless machine reveals a rather spartan and cold interior, with the uncomfortable-looking aircraft-style bucket seats placed in front of a dash color-matched to the exterior, which in turn holds a set of AutoMeter gauges.
The front end belongs to the uncovered engine of course, in this case a 264ci (4.3-liters) Buick Nailhead V8. The engine, which has been restored before being fitted on this build, is linked to a Saginaw three-speed manual transmission, but we are not told yet how much power it develops.
The asking price for the hot rod is a tad below $34,000.
