For a while now, I have wanted to pick up a Model A to play around with. People have modified them for decades now I figured it would be fun to try my hand at it too. Messing with an original car is not an option though, so something like this bargain beater seems like a better way to go. The seller only provides one photo in the auction listing here on eBay, but the $5,000 asking price doesn’t seem too bad for a running and driving car. The original engine is still in place so I would focus on hopping it up before attempting any sort of crazy V8 swap. In fact, I would probably look to the trial cars that our friends over in the UK build for inspiration rather than going the typical hotrod route. If you haven’t seen videos of the VSCC guys running their pre-war cars up hills and through mud, then you should!
