Vehicle Description
The 1933 Fords were the founding fathers of the hot-rodding
movement. They were modified in endless ways from mild to wild.
This 2-door coupe is a beautiful example of one that is full of
both show and go. It has great vintage character on the outside,
modern comforts in the interior, and modern tech dressed up for the
show in the drivetrain. Check it out.
The fiberglass body of this car is very clean with good gaps and
lines and an outstanding paint job in classic Black. The look is
kept super clean by leaving the fenders off which highlights the
tapered lines of the car. Up front, that tall grill of curved
vertical bars leads the way with Ford badging at the top and some
sweet custom pin striping on the hood. Big round headlights flank
that grill and there is plenty of chrome shining brightly for
everyone to see on the drop axle, shocks, bumpers, and finned
aluminum brake coolers that are all polished up. From the side, the
silhouette is unmistakably '33 Ford with a bit of chassis rake that
gives the car a pretty aggressive stance. Out back, there is more
of that custom pinstriping on the long gentle curves of the trunk
and a simple but good looking chrome bumper.
Step inside this car and you are surrounded by a rich Black
interior. The door panel sets the tone by being simple but
gorgeous. It has a triangular pleated center panel with a smooth
surround. The bench seat follows suit with pleated leather seating
surfaces with smooth surrounds and nice side bolsters on the outer
edges. A custom three spoke wire steering wheel is wrapped in
leather and mounted on a tilt column with polished V8 center
button. Behind it is a black dash with a white faced, backlit,
Autometer gauge cluster. The speedo is in the center with four
smaller engine gauges around it. There is a plaque on the dash from
a vintage speed run at El Mirage with the controls for the Vintage
Air A/C system to the right of it and the vents underneath. The
shifter for the automatic transmission rises from the floor and
there is a Sony head unit mounted behind the seat.
Pop the hood and you will find a 350 cubic inch motor with Cadillac
valve covers squeezed down in that tight little engine bay. A gloss
black filter housing gathers up air for an Edelbrock 4-barrel
carburetor and a GM intake. Those valve covers are blue with
Cadillac spelled out in silver and long tube headers wind their way
out the bottom to Flowmaster mufflers. A chrome alternator keeps
the battery charged up and there's a new Sanden A/C compressor
along with new plugs cap and wires assure a good spark. A fresh
radiator with electric fan makes sure that things keep running cool
and power flows back through a THM700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission. A Ford 9", Currie rear end with 3.70 gears gets those
Red wire wheels tuning and chromed radius rods along with the
springs and shocks not only look great but offer the adjustability
that provides for that nice bit of chassis rake. Up front a chromed
transverse spring compliments the rest of the chrome in the
steering and brakes for an awesome look all around.
Vintage character on the outside, modern comforts on the inside,
and chromed up tech in the drivetrain and engine. Come on down and
check this car out.
