I have for sale a stunning fully photo-documented professional show quality build of an original Model A pick-up truck. This truck was built as a late 50's early 60's Hot Rod shop truck using all original Ford parts. Please see below for details. This car is beautiful even standing still, but once you get behind the wheel, that's when the fun begins.
Built by a professional fabricator by trade for his own use, (he works on others' cars all day long) and knowing his reputation was on the line, he spared no expense to make it perfect. This car runs perfectly as it should, with no hidden flaws or secrets. Never shown after finished. Needs nothing but a new owner. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking, Lauren
