As with T before it, the Model A quickly became a basis for a competition car. The high-performance aftermarket industry can be directly traced back to early Ford tuning parts. By the time of the A, a huge cottage industry of tuning and racing parts existed to make your Ford go fast. One could purchase a mildly uprated cylinder head or a double over-head cam conversion for your Model T. Many companies offered racy body kits to lighten and give the car a great look. These simple kits could easily transform a ford into a serious looking racer. This Model A racer is built in the spirit of these original conversions. A sleek and light weight body replaces the heavy standard coach work and significantly raises the cars performance potential. This sharp looking example was built by the Museum for racing and rally event. It proved a winner and at the 12 Hour race at Emmeloord, it won its class – not bad for a relatively stock example. The livery indicates that it may have participated in a Great Race event as well. The stylish two seater body, cycle fenders and split V-windshield give the Model A a great racer look, and it is finished off nicely with a side pipe exhaust. A fun car and a proven winner that should provide great enjoyment to its new owner.
