1929 Ford Model-A with 250 HP Cosworth Rally Engine!

Ford_MTA_0Talk about the ultimate sleeper; Kari Makela and his fellow workers at the Mäkelä Auto-Tuning company (MAT) that’s based in Finland have created a one-of-a-kind 1929 Ford Model-A equipped with a rally-bred Ford Cosworth engine! When the owner of the 1929 Ford Model-A visited the Finnish company he not only asked to restore his classic vehicle but he also wanted to give it some extra power without however ruining the car’s vintage appearance.

The guys at MAT did precisely as asked fully restoring the Model-A to its original condition and adding a 250 HP 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder powertrain from a Ford Escort BDA Cosworth Group 4 Rally Car! According to the Finnish company, the rally-powered Model-A can go from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5,0 sec while it achieves a top speed of 124 mph or 200 km/h. -More pics after the jump
