Seller States:

Here is my 1931 Model A sedan. If you don’t want attention and don’t have time to stop and talk to all the gawkers, than this is NOT the car for you!

This car is insane and will get more attention than anything else on the road. Car needs nothing and is a blast to drive!

Specs on the car:
Original 1931 Paint/patina
Chopped 7″
Sectioned 4″
Channeled 4″
Car sits 40″ tall when laid out, yet gets enough lift out of rear bags that it is easy to cruise around. Gets about 6″ of lift if not more! Everything is built above lower crossmembers so nothing drags that can be destroyed.
2 tralier balls are incorporated into rear frame and allow body to sit flat on ground and drag without destroying much! Great for cruising around the show grounds.

Front suspension is suicide style with 40 ford dropped axle and drum brakes and traditional style cowl steering that consist of a 1979 Ford 2wd gearbox flipped/reversed.
Rear has 9″ ford with 3.55 gears (POSI) and parallel 4-link with bags, 1/2″ ariline and fittings. Panhard bar on rear as well. This car is DONE RIGHT!
Frame is stretched and totally custom and boxed all the way through with lightening holes on the front frame horns as they taper to the front axle. Same goes for Radius arms as well.

Interior has 31 ford dash but everything else is custom, including seats, rear hatch panel that allows easy access to rear area which is keyed for security. The Chrome VIAIR compressor and 3 gallon tank as well as the battery are behind the seats and accessible through the hatch area.
FatMat sound deadener in doors, floors, rear cab.
Custom tunnel, with polished Diablo Hurst shifter and more
Quick release Metalflake steering wheel
Chrome COBRA style gas cap in roof
Hidden and Keyed Battery Disconnect Switch
Hinged and Tinted front window so you can let all the cool air in
Completely removable (snap) roof canvas, with V8 logo custom made into top
Custom pinstriping all over (inside and out)
Custom 1937 Dodge tailights and 1933 Ford Commercial headlights
Tinted glass all around except no door windows (Car has temporary lexan side glass) with working regulators. I have window channels for the car but they are not installed.
17 gallon fuel cell hidden in rear with metal bracing and support all around

Car LAYS hard…
Wheels and tires are BRAND NEW Polished Rocket Racing Wheels (15×4.5/15×10) mounted on BFG Silvertown Radials with FAT Whitewalls (195′s on the front and 285/70/15 on rear). Looks NASTY!

SBC 350 with mild build, polished goodies, chrome 100 amp alternator, mount, chrome pulley and more
Polished Overflow
Electric fan (runs 190 all day long)
Custom Aluminum Mustang radiator painted and filled for a Chevy Motor
1931 Chrome Ford Grill with International insert to protect radiator
Thermal Coated Headers with removable baffles and much more…

I know I am forgetting to list some things but the car has it all and will not disappoint! Everything works including lights, horn, gauges and more.
I could go on and on but I won’t right now. If you are seriously interested then please let me know.

Also, I am 6’3″ tall and fit comfortably in this thing. You can cruise it all day long!

The only BAD thing I can list is the Transmission has a leak if the car sits for a while. I am rather certain the pan just needs a new gasket. That is an easy fix! So don’t let that scare you away from missing out on the awesome machine… Good luck on bidding. The reserve is FAIR and I really don’t want to give a buy it now price. If you have an offer, please feel free to contact me through ebay and make an offer but be realistic or be ready for me to say NO. This car is not a thrown together piece of crap. I don’t call it a Rat Rod for that reason. It is in all forms a HOTROD! This car was built very nicely and if you have seen the car in person, you know this!

1956 TALBOT LAGO T14LS

The number of exotic and exciting cars being built by the French soon after World War II was rather limited. Talbot Lago, one of the more famous names in Grand Prix and car history on the other hand, introduced such a car at the Paris Auto Salon in 1955. Designed by Carlo Delaisse who was the chief designer for Letourneur et Marchand. Typical of many French cars the detail found can be intoxicating, the gas cap being a perfect example of fine design. This Talbot Lago is a 1956 T14LS, chassis number 140019. The history, as we know it is as follows. In 1971 the car was imported into England and registered with OUG2 license plate, considered a cherished number. It was registered to a Simon Francis Phillips, from London SW7, around this time. That plate got removed and presumably placed on another of his cars and it became registered with PRK38K around 19th Feb 1976. The next registered owner was Mrs. Hilda Lewis, 47 Grosvenor Square, London W1A, a very posh and expensive part of London. The next owner was from here, John Heil. John bought the car in 1988 and imported it to the USA. John Vintage raced the car a little at some of the Palm Springs Vintage car races in that time period. At that time he had the car set up for that purpose, including a roll bar (removable) and competition seat belts and the obligatory catch and vent tanks for oil and water capture. The car remained in his and his family’s possession until we acquired the car from his estate recently. The car has a BMW V8 of the BMW 507 style, the same as what went into the Talbot Lago America. This engine has been in it since prior to arriving in England in 1971, as the original English log book shows it as having this motor with engine number 21900, the same number as it has today. We have redone the interior completely and it is superb, finished in very nice leather and Wilton Wool style carpeting. We have redone the interior to what we believe is back to original style and standards. The paint is very good but is by all accounts about 20 years old. It is finished in French Blue with Black interior. Because of the nature of the cars history we took the liberty of changing the wheel colour to Black to give the car a more masculine look and posture, which it has done admirably. This car is a perfect candidate for somebody who wants to not only have a very rare car, as it is 1 of only about 60 built, how many are left we don’t know, (quoted production numbers do vary slightly) but a car they can utilize in many of the Historic driving events that are available, such as the California Mille Miglia, Colorado Grand etc (please verify eligibility for any events if this is impoortant to you). We have copies of the English registrations and the build sheet from Talbot along with numerous records and articles relating to the car.
