Vehicle Description
If you like the looks of the 1934 Ford Cabriolet, but would like
something a little more modern underneath, this handsome streetrod
might fit the bill. Powered by a strong 350 V8 and loaded with
4-wheel power disc brakes, and a supple suspension, this is the '34
Ford you could drive every day and show off at every red light.
The body is, of course, fiberglass, but these days that's no
demerit, especially when someone else has already done all the
sanding and fitting for you. Titled as a 2005 ASVE, this body style
offers the same open-air good looks as a roadster, but with the
added benefit of a removable hard-top you can take it anywhere,
anytime without worries. The original-style suicide doors have been
shaved of their respective handles, the hinges have been hidden,
and they pop open with the touch of a button, and the sweeping
fenders give it a classic look. Fit and finish are well done, and
the maroon paint is a very refreshing change from the usual reds
and blacks you see at every show. Clearly someone had another
mission in mind when putting this car together, one that was as
much luxury as hot rod performance. A one-piece hood, a custom
grille insert painted gold to match the swooping body accent and
pin-striping on the rear end, and flush-mounted tear-drop
taillights give it a fully finished look that neatly bridges
tradition and function. Man, what a great looking car!
Tan ostrich leather covers the interior, further reinforcing this
car's luxury-oriented personality. The split-bench seat is a custom
piece, and the rest of the interior was built around it. Door
panels are simply elegant affairs with matching tan vinyl and
ostrich inserts that warm things up and offer some visual interest.
Matching burgundy paint covers the dash, which is full of gorgeous
vintage-style gauges from TPI-Tech, and there's a custom steering
wheel on an Ididit tilt column. A B&M floor shifter at short
reach and an AM/FM/CD stereo give you the kind of comfort and
convenience that make any car a pleasure to drive, especially one
with this hotrod's great custom looks. Overhead there's a tan hard
top that seals nicely on top of the fiberglass body, and there's a
fully carpeted and upholstered trunk that provides plenty of space
for your car show goodies.
That's no garden-variety small block under the hood, it's a
powerful 350 cubic inch Chevy motor, famous for prodigious torque
and a keen ability to rev. The engine bay is neatly arranged and
easy to service, and thanks to the wonders of an Edelbrock 600CFM
4-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake, it starts instantly and is
ready to rumble. Accel HEI lights the fires and there's race grade
equipment throughout, from the shorty headers to high-torque
starter. The dual exhaust has a throaty rumble, and the suspension
offers an AirRide system, a tubular front end and 4-bar trailing
arm set-up in the rear. A 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission
with trans-cooler spins a 9-inch Ford axle out back and disc brakes
are at all four corners to ensure modern levels of braking
performance. Handsome and shiny staggered Ridler chrome wheels are
in excellent condition and wear 225/45/18 front and 245/45/120 rear
performance radials that ride great and look right on the
full-fendered Ford.
Ultra-clean, comfortable and packing a potent powertrain, this '34
Ford is a no-compromises rod that over-delivers in every way. Call
