Outstanding Build Quality & Featured in Street Rod Builder
Magazine
This 1938 Ford 81A Club Coupe can be traced all the way back to the
original owner in 1938; four total drivers have appeared on the
title across its lifetime. The previous owner stripped this beauty
down to bare metal and rebuilt it from the ground up with the very
best components money can buy, so it drives sensationally and looks
like a brand new classic automobile. We have broken down the major
customizations and parts below-
The Body
A close-up inspection of this 1938 Ford 81A Coupe reveals an
absolutely flawless exterior with high end custom paint, beautiful
flowing chrome work and sensational body lines. The polished blower
blends seamlessly into the hood like it was there from day one,
which accurately summarizes everything about this entire build-
extreme elegance and very tasteful. The grille up front looks like
a piece of art in itself and the build is completed with 14"
Torque-Thrust II wheels with BFG radials up front and 15's in the
rear. You can spend weeks staring at this gorgeous body before
fully appreciating the outstanding craftsmanship and
sophistication.
The Interior
The interior of this 1938 Ford 81A Deluxe Body Club is also first
class with a custom white leather interior extending from floor to
ceiling. The dash is finished in the same breathtaking exterior
urethane paint and the VDO gauges are mounted on simple stainless
to give a beautiful vintage look/feel. Likewise, the chrome floor
shifter and the tilt steering column with Banjo steering wheel
really stands out as exceptional. You'll only find the slightest,
most minimal signs of wear in the interior anywhere. It would have
been very easy to go over the top but the current owner really
nailed it- which is why this one keeps bringing home first place
trophies wherever it goes.
The Drivetrain
Additionally, this 1938 Ford 81A Deluxe Body Club really goes to
another level with a show quality engine compartment that also
delivers some serious power. The polished Weiand 6:71 blower really
completes the look and all that power is handled nicely with an
full air ride suspension with a four link rear setup with a panhard
bar and a Mustang II front suspension and a Flaming River rack &
pinion steering. With a forged steel crank and so many extras to
make this the most complete street rod around, it would be almost
impossible to find a higher quality build on the open market.
Multiple Trophy Winner Driven Only 650 Lifetime Miles
Overall, this 1938 Ford 81A Deluxe Body Club Coupe is one of the
nicest examples we've ever seen and it still has Best in Show
potential on practically any stage. You couldn't build this elite
street rod for anything near the current asking price and it's
definitely going to become the pinnacle of one serious collection
in the days ahead. It simply won't last at this price. For more
