Another beautiful Basil Classic... a 1928 Ford Model A Roadster with only 7,588 miles that has been handpicked and meets Joe Basil's standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951. This is one of the cleanest, best-maintained showroom-condition Ford Hot Rods you'll find. Buy with confidence!

Built in a high-boy configuration, this street rod is as beautiful on the underside as it is above. The prior owner, who cared for this beauty for many years, was a pinstriper by trade and a member of a local car club. At first glance, it is obvious this car was carefully handled. It has been kept in near-perfect condition since it was built. The body and frame have both been blocked and finished to perfection before having jet black base/clear paint applied. A subtle red pin stripe runs down both sides of the body, complemented by a hand-painted spider on its web, with "Nocturnal" (the car's name) artfully painted just above.

Red steel wheels with V8 embossed poverty caps, wrapped in black-wall radial tires, provide a neat, intentional old-school look to the overall appearance. In keeping with that look, a straight axle has been used up front, fitted with disc brakes for safety, and set off with chrome shocks. Since this is a fenderless build, original-style headlamps are mounted directly to the frame.

The small-block Chevy engine is mildly cammed, fitted with aluminum performance heads, and topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and an intake manifold. Headers carry the exhaust through chrome side pipes, and the engine is generously appointed with chrome accessories. Power travels through an automatic transmission to the coilover 12-bolt rear end, equipped with a pinion-mounted emergency brake assembly.

A simple button-tufted design is used on the seat upholstery, with the signature spider web sewn into the upper passenger side. Just beyond the three-spoke steering wheel, you see seven classic instrument gauges fitted into the jet-black dash, providing the driver with all the necessary driveline information. The carpeted trunk opens rearward, exposing the gas tank filler. If you are a street rod fan, this open-wheel roadster is a must-see. Its overall condition is stunning and as near perfect as you will find. Come on in and make this one yours before it gets away.
