Vehicle Description
1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe
History
The term "hot rod" refers to the early days when a person would
take a typical car, modify it by removing fenders, hoods, and
various parts of the body and in doing so reduce weight. Also
engine modifications were typical with tuning options, and
replacing engine parts to increase horsepower, as well as the
entire engine, were typical of the movement. The goal was to
increase straight line speed, which was tested originally on dry
lake beds in the northern Los Angeles area.
A wonderfully built 1933 Ford interpretation shows the true
definition of "hopped up". From its chopped roof, to its massive
Boss 302 engine, subtle flat black field with gloss flames
emanating from the engine compartment, this immaculate custom
street rod is stealthy, as well as sinister. The gearshift knob
sums it up, depicting a racing helmeted, goggled, breather equipped
vintage style drag racing head, this car will not stand still for
long.
Exterior
A fenderless replica Model 40-3 window coupe/roadster, chopped top
1933 Factory Five reproduction body sits atop a Factory Five
chassis. Suicide doors make use of Ford reproduction handles and
rear-view mirrors. Enclosing the engine compartment, are 2 side
hood panels adorned with chrome cooling vents. A replicated
vertical ribbed grille true to the design, in brushed aluminum, has
two sealed beam side mounted headlights, as well as miniature
aftermarket turn signals. The rear deck has a mechanically actuated
trunk, and reproduction tail lights, dual polished stainless pipes,
and a push bar make a simple but beautiful presentation. Chromed US
Mag wheels wrapped with Towel City pie crust cheater slicks in the
rear and treaded 175 R 15's on the front.
Interior
Dual black racing seats with Simpson harnesses sit in a red and
black vinyl interior. A deep red thick pile carpeting covers the
inter floor and foot boards and works in conjunction with black and
red vinyl transmission hump and the center console coverings. A
gray headliner adds a beautiful contrast to the interior. Red
painted steel makes up the dash board and centered within is a
cluster of Dakota digital gauges. An adjustable steering column
with machined aluminum turn signal actuators, and column adjustment
wand. The trunk houses the battery and a Boyd Welding all aluminum
fuel tank.
Drivetrain
The big Boss 302 fed by a Quick Fuel Tech 650CFM carb puts out a
respectable 340HP. Coupled with a TCI C4 automatic transmission,
and an 8.8 Ford 3:27:1 ratio differential, provides the Hot in hot
rod. BBS polished stainless headers, as well as a dual polished
stainless-steel custom exhaust system provide perfectly tuned music
to the motorhead's ears. Rear suspension shows triangulated 4 link
with coilovers, and front has cantilever coilovers. 4-wheel
hydraulic disc brakes will bring the car to a halt to receive your
winner's trophy.
