1931 Ford Roadster

1931 Ford Roadster

Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful 1931 Ford Hotrod.

We've seen hundreds of them over the years and looked at nearly as many that were for sale—we've purchased very few. This is one we are proud to own; we think it's special. First, we bought it from a great friend and customer of ours—that's always a great place to start.

So, why is it special beyond our friend? Let's start with real Henry Ford steel—nothing against fiberglass rods, nothing against Brookville steel, but to us, it's just not the same. If we need to have one, it needs to be real.

The quality of this build is amazing, and the attention to detail is first class. Let's start with a 1954 Buick 264 Nailhead bored over to 362 cubic inches. Now let's top that with an Offenhauser intake topped with six Stromberg 97 carburetors. It's jewelry, and it performs like crazy. Then let's back that with a T5 five-speed transmission. Nothing like shifting gears in a hot rod.

This '31 has been channeled and chopped and is riding on a Ford 9-inch rear end. The frame is 4 x 1½-inch rectangular tubing using front and rear Model A crossmembers. The chassis was Z'd 4 inches in the front and 10 inches in the rear. The attention to detail continues with Lakester-style headers, lots of chrome, and 15-inch steelie wheels carrying Diamond Back tires.

This beautiful '31 has a 5-inch channel, a 2½-inch chopped windshield, and a sectioned '32 Ford grille. The builder paid attention to every detail.

As a multiple magazine-featured car, the nuts and bolts above are one thing—the viewing is something even beyond that. The combinations of greens between the body, interior, chassis, and suspension just work. The rod is stunning.

Please spend some time going through the pictures on this car—they are a very accurate representation. The underside of this '31 is finished to a quality we rarely see. The paint is beautiful. The upgrades are tasteful yet period correct.

Again, we've been offered a lot of hot rods over the years. This one stands out, and it will at any car show or cruise-in.

Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized possession—the choice is yours once you make it yours.

We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our Travel Expenses Guarantee. Come see the car, and if we have materially misrepresented its condition, we will gladly pay half of your travel expenses up to $500.00. This offer has been in place since we sold our first classic, and we haven't paid the money yet. We pride ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.

Additional pictures and video are available. Please call 440-365-7311 for more photos, information, or to schedule a test drive.
