Gateway Classic Cars is proud to offer an all steel 1934 Ford Cabriolet. This cabriolet has been done up in a very unique style with a certain retro feel. Back in the 1960s this particular car was used in an unsanctioned race referred to as the Missouri Dark Horse Race. Hot rods of all types would meet up in either St. Louis or Kansas City and race to the other city using a different route each year. The race would always take place in the middle of the night under the cover of night. With history as an outlaw racer, it has been restored in a similar style. The exterior is finished in a satin black with custom painted racing markings as well as plenty of period style decals. The roaster sits on red steel wheels with hub caps and wide white wall tires. The body sits atop a painted red frame to complete the color scheme and the underside is rather impressive. The frame is drilled for lightness and the suspension components are nicely painted as well. Perhaps the coolest feature of this '34 Ford is the drive train which is all Ford! From a '66 Mustang, the car sports a 289 CID V8, a C4 automatic transmission, and a 9" Ford rear end. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt and have only tallied 616 miles since. The roadster is certainly road ready, and ready to drive. It would however make a nice vehicle to take to local car shows and tell a bit about its history. It would be also be fun to retrace the old Missouri Dark Horse Race route (under the speed limit of course). This unique 1934 Ford Cabriolet can be seen in our St. Louis showroom, or at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please call 618-271-3000 with any questions, or email
