Vehicle Description
There is something that just looks right about a full bodied '34, 3
Window Coupe with a flame paint job. Modern running gear and a
custom interior. With room in the trunk for your gear, it will make
you want to load this car up and travel. Just be ready for all the
attention you will get while driving it.
Start out with a nice red paint job, then make it look like it's
white hot at the leading edge, blending back through yellow, then
to orange, all edged with blue pin-striping. Nicely done. A classic
waterfall grill is flanked by LED headlights for night-time
cruising. Chrome bumper forks lead the way with the front turn
signals tucked discreetly up under the body. There are nice blue
pin-stripe flourishes on the center of the hood and on the trunk
just above the handle. Teardrop taillights dress the rear fenders
which have dual exhaust tips peeking out from under them, finished
off with a chrome rear bumper. Set the car on Torqs wheels
staggered with 15s in the rear and 14s in the front to give the car
the nice rake and a look that a car like this deserves.
Open the suicide doors and check out the beautiful custom interior.
The seats, door panels, console and headliner are white, almost an
ivory really, with just enough color to compliment the wood tone
Grant steering wheel and the tan carpets. The dash treatment starts
with a body color upper panel. Then the inserts on either side of
the dash along with the insert in the center console are machine
turned aluminum. Below the auxiliary engine gauges, trimmed in
chrome as is the steering column, are the ventilation controls.
Below them is the stereo. Finish off the interior with billet door
handles and power window with the switches in the door panel for a
first-class cabin to cruise it. Throw your luggage in the nicely
trimmed out trunk, and take a ride.
Ride in confidence you can, because this car has a Ford 5.0 Liter
V-8 and 4 speed automatic trans. The engine makes nice power thanks
in part to being warmed over with an Edelbrock four-barrel carb and
intake manifold. Keeping things from getting too warm is an
aluminum radiator with hoses protected from damage by Aeroquip hose
coverings. Chrome touches in the engine bay include an alternator,
distributor, and oil cap, with polished aluminum for the valve
covers, air filter housing and air conditioning compressor making
for a great looking engine compartment. The front suspension
instills confidence while you drive with rack and pinion steering
working through coil springs handling the curves, and vented front
disc brakes getting you slowed down between them. A Ford 9 inch
rear end on coil springs gets the power to the ground through
255/70R15s in the rear and 185/70R14s in the front, all mounted on
Torqs 5 spoke wheels.
If you have ever had the urge for a street rod with a flame paint
job, come on down and check this ride out. Then ride it home and
enjoy all the attention you get along the way.
