$12,500

Harbor Beach, Michigan

** Do to a personal issue, the high bidder of the previous auction had to retract his bid. I am now running a BUY IT NOW 1 time only for 5 days. If the 31 does not sell, I will be keeping it and upgrading suspension and transmission.** The vintage toolbox, cooler, suicide knob, shift knob and MOM, DO NOT go with the car. I will replace the shift knob with an original dark brown Ford shift knob. Vin number on the firewall matches the vin on Title. I have owned the 31 for about 8 - months , and 600 - 700 miles of driving. I purchased the car back in February ( trailered home ) from the Macon Georgia area. The car runs great, engine, trans and rear end are solid and clutch is new. Excellent entry level Rod, that leaves just enough for someone to put there own touch on it and take it to the next level.. Now, reason for selling is that even though I wanted a more traditional Rod, at 55 and with a back and arm bolted together, it is just to rough for me and to difficult to crawl around and under. I am buying a custom as soon as this sells. The 31 was built by an older fella who has been around hot rods for 6 decades. This one believed to have originally been built in the late 50's - early 60's. **The following information in his own words, from the gentleman who built the 31 and whom I purchased it from.... ** When the car was purchased, it already had the Y block engine, which was set back 8 inches. Front seats are also set back. The frame appears to be original 1931. The 292 V8, has been completely rebuilt, also added are special Y block heads ( 57 G). These are fresh, featuring a 3 angle valve grind. An Isky cam (E4) was installed, along with electronic ignition. Cooling is handled by a brand new aluminum radiator. The exhaust consist of a set of vintage homemade headers with dual exhaust, flowing thru a pair of Raptor mufflers dumping out before the rear end. This set-up sounds great. Power goes to a 1950 Ford F1 3 speed (floor shift), thru an open drive line to a Modern Ford 9" rear end. The rear is a 3.70 gear and has been fully restored. Rear has newer chrome coil overs. I personally think the coil overs need to be remounted straighter or possibly a shorter set? The front end has a new Super Bell with a 4" drop. Split wishbone . New tube shocks were added in front along with new brakes on 4 corners from a 1940 Ford. All glass, gaskets, fuzzy`s along with window tracks are new. Windshield opens / closes properly. The top is new. Tires are like new, fronts 6.70 x 15, rears 8.20 x 15 all mounted on early Ford 5 X 5 1/2 bolt pattern. I recently found out the RR rim has a bit of a wobble, buyer will need to have straightened or replacement recommended. 4 New Ford half caps . Some pictures the caps, some do not. Headlights (32 Ford), taillights, brake lights, dash lights work like they should. New 32 style gas tank. No high beams, no horn, no heat, no emergency brake, no spare rim/tire. Turn signals handled by left arm. The body is all Ford and is an honest car with good bones. Filler in the body is minimal based on magnet check. Front fenders have had metal repair from inside, where splits are typical. I am sure there is a bit of metal patch work and filler for dings / dents and body work ect.. Body looks straight. The paint is a few years old and very respectable for a driver. The paint is much brighter / shiny than the photos reflect. It was gloomy, cloudy day. Hood side panels are painted to match and come with the car. However, due to the home made headers they don't fit / mount correctly. Interior is basic. There is 1/8 masonite covering most panel areas which would be good as templates or backing for upholstery / material. Dash is a 1932 Ford instrument panel with Stewart Warner gas, oil, temp, amp gauges. The Speedometer I believe to be 46 - 47 Ford. All function properly ( temp sticks periodically but is new ). New wiper motor and arm (single) work, but not very fast?? Rearview mirror only. The 2 bucket seats ( 35 - 36 Ford ) have been recovered and look good, however they sat to high in my opinion, so I removed the mounting brackets and they are now bolted directly to the floor. Seat brackets will come with the car. Plenty of leg room. No back seat. Floor is plywood with ribbed rubber covering. Although there are seatbelts, they are not mounted correctly. They have lg washers underside and top but material is just folded with hole for bolt. Fine for me, but suggest buyer look into a new set of seatbelts. The 31 will not be listed again if not sold. Bidders with a feedback score of less than 10 must first contact me, before bidding. The 1931 is listed for sale at multiple locations, due to this I reserve the right to end the auction early and without notice. I have sold to both England and Finland in the past, I typically prefer to sell within the continental US. If the winning bidder is an over seas buyer, I will work with what ever shipping company you choose to use, but coordinating all this as well as cost will be solely the responsibility of winning bidder. Overseas buyer must also meet payment guideline, pick up I will work with you but am not interested in storing this car so 14 day pick up for overseas buyer. After a few ebayers questions, I now find it necessary to state the obvious. This 1931 Ford Sedan will sell AS IS WHERE IS with NO WARRANTIES of any sort. Deposit will be non refundable and car not returnable. It will not be a buy now, decide to pay later transaction. Please read payment guidelines prior to bidding. Thanks
