  • It doesn't get much more Miami than this... This is a 1930 Ford Model A, or at least it used to be one. These days it's a Rat Rod, with F1-inspired looks and about half a Honda S2000 underneath. Car enthusiast and tuner Ricky Boada has devoted himself to transforming an Instagram render into the real thing, mixing old Americana with a dash of JDM - what a recipe. Watch Rob Dahm tour around Miami in one of the wildest builds yet.

    Goomba James made this car into reality, I feel like he doesn't get the respect he deserves.

    For anyone wondering about the background music at 0:23 I can tell you a song that sounds really similar to it is called "Do Gunna" by an Indian Rap Duo named Seedhe Maut which was produced by "Sez On the Beat".

    Only thing I am sad about is the fact that they couldnt figure out better driving position that squizing your head down. I can imagine it would have been impossible any other way but thats the only complaint I can have. Great build, looks great - Is this the car from NFS 2015 or the one in NFS was just inspired by this one?
