Vehicle Description
Here's one of those great builds where you instantly know someone
took the time to customize every inch of it. This 1930 Ford
Roadster pickup is a boldly-colored steel body laid over a custom
frame with its unique flathead V8 on display for the world to see.
Oh yeah, it's the kind of attention-grabber that you'd expect to
pay a lot more to take home.
Let's start with the first impression. The steel body sitting way
back on the frame with the cab channeled over it. It gives this the
kind of low-slung, swept-back sensibility that make it look fast
just sitting in the parking lot. And people can even recognize the
style at night because that green almost glows in the dark. Plus,
the black not only look slick, but it's also the perfect place to
showcase the hand-painted pinstriping on the hood, headlight
surrounds, grille, and even the gas tank that has been neatly
integrated to peer out of the top of the smooth tonneau over the
truck bed. Plus, this has all the great classic hot rod touches,
like the front suspension on display, classic Ford V8 logo in the
grille, tall Firestones in the rear, and a couple of velocity
stacks sticking out of the hood. It's a very cool total custom
build.
There's a nicely fitting black convertible top, but really, you're
going to want to show this interior off to the world. That's
because the full color scheme is continued inside to give a uniform
feeling to this whole build. The leather seating looks terrific
with the green streak that runs seamlessly into the door panels.
And more than just eye-appealing, the individual cushioning divided
by cup holder center console provides some nice comfort. And
speaking of comfortable, each seat also has an individual heater,
which will make you quite happy on any early morning run to the car
show. The three-spoke all-black steering wheel looks great against
the bright green dash, and even the pinstriping returns for great
added flair. But what you'll really like is the full set of gauges,
including the very important SunPro tach.
The bright namesake heads of Ford's famous 239 cubic-inch flathead
V8 might be the first thing that grab your attention, but it's far
from the only detail people will be looking at. Because this has a
lift-off hood, we love how they took the time to have the firewall
and engine block match the body color. So just like the interior,
you'll love showing this motor off to the world. There has been a
solid investment in the fundamentals and performance of this V8. So
not only does it have plenty of newer components, but also it has
go-fast foodies like a Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, a
performance intake, and wrapped headers. And you have full control
over this V8 and its thunderous soundtrack with the modern T5
five-speed manual transmission. Also take some time to look to the
undercarriage photos. You'll love how the custom frame contours to
fit this roadster pickup body perfectly. Plus, you'll also spot
great driving features like the front disc brakes and QA1
adjustable coilovers in the rear.
Slick, unique, and memorable - thoughtful builds like this are
rarely this obtainable. So don't miss out, call today!
