This is my 1930 DeSoto Coupe that I have been working on for the past year. I just had all the glass replaced, painted, and the bumpers re-chromed. It was sold to me as a 1930 with 1931 bumpers but I have not determined the exact model. It is NOT a CF because I ordered all new glass for a CF and none of it fit. Looking to determine exactly what model it is. The title says 1930 but it sure looks like a 1931 SA to me. Any comments welcome.

I owned two other DeSotos before I purchased this one...a 49 and a 52. I love DeSoto!

My 1930 DeSoto has a crate 350 Chevy engine with Holley Fuel Injection, 400 Turbo Automatic transmission, and an S-10 4x4 rear end. It has a Heidt's IFS, 4-wheel power disc brakes, Vintique wheels, and Old Air A/C. Working on getting the interior redone.

Looks like you have a nice collection of DeSotos. I would think the 30 would be equivalent to what people now call a resto-mod. I have been building a 60 Adventurer 2 dr hardtop as a rest-mod. The exterior is back to original, but I have added 4 wheel disc brakes, Holly Sniper FI, cruise control, and Vintage heat, defrost, A/C.

 

How does the Hllly FI work on this car?

Yes, it is a resto-mod. The car is in Florida only temporarily. Plans are to transport it to my home in New Hampshire as soon as I can arrange transport. Once here, it will get a new wine colored interior. Thank you.

The Holley Sniper FI was on the car when I bought it. I don't know much about it since I have not driven the car yet. My son in Florida has driven the car and says it works very well.
