Up for sale to the public for the first time in over 65 years is the John Cordell survivor 1931 Model A hot rod. John built this awesome hot rod in 1962 in San Leandro, California. He painted the car lacquer Orange using a Hoover vacuum system then drove it over to Tommy the Greek to have it pinstriped which is still on the car along with the same lacquer paint from 62. John built the 283 small block that’s in the vehicle running 6 stromberg 97’s. It has an early mor-drop front axle that’s been chromed, a 55 Chevy rear end and chromed Buick finned brakes. The American racing wheels have also been on the car since the early 60’s. The car comes with its top frame but one of the bows are cracked. Aside from the electric fan, spark plug wires, overflow tank, headers and the automatic transmission that was swapped in place of the 4 speed, this car is an untouched piece of hot rodding history. This car has never been available to the public and the only reason it is now is because John passsd away a few years ago. John had been collecting speed equipment and automobilia since the early ’50s. John Cordell a BCRA hall of famer has raced everything from drag cars to midgets, sports cars and even drag boats. Cordell was a master engine builder that specialized in Ford V8-60 flatheads for vintage race cars. He had one of the largest assortments of bearings, pistons and rings for 60s that I’ve seen in years. If you raced at Fremont you would have known John and this car. It’s super important whoever the next caretaker is to please keep it as is with the exception of possibly putting a 4 speed back in it. Located in our showroom in Grass Valley California and can help ship worldwide. $31,900
