Vehicle Description
Street rod motoring is all about distinction, and it's hard to do
better than this. A genuine steel-bodied example of the rare 1935
Ford 5-window coupe built with a distinct two-tone, a comfortable
A/C interior, and plenty of Ford V8 power. It's everything you want
in one very cool package.
1935 was a great year for Fords. This was a new, sleeker design
with the now-iconic wrap-around grille highlighting the list of new
features. Smoothly flowing fenders that encapsulate the wheels and
gently rounded bodywork make it beautiful, and so they took their
time for a careful restoration (and we have the photo book to prove
it!) Finish quality is quite good, with doors that close easily and
good gaps all around. The two-tone Iris and Plum are nice
complementing colors - even the pinstripes have a complementing hue
to make this look like a well-coordinated total paint package. And
the metallic glow of these give off love to highlight all the
curves of the body and rounded fenders. Plus, there's great detail
work with the frenched license plate, integrated third brake light,
frenched marker lights front & rear. And everyone loves the look of
genuine wire wheels.
Inside is a custom gray interior built for luxury. It starts with
the late-model two-tone buckets that are vastly more comfortable
than anything out of the 1930s. The tweed cloth used here matches
the side panels, lower dash, and even the trunk for a full uniform
appearance that always impresses anyone peeking inside. But more
than just impressing strangers, you'll enjoy a long list of comfort
features, including power driver's seat, power windows, and an
AM/FM/cassette stereo w/CD changer. You'll love getting behind the
banjo-style steering wheel and peering at the full set of backlit
VDO gauges. And while these are great updates, this never loses
that vintage feeling. That's thanks to classic features like the
front tilt windshield and roll-down back window that allow
old-school breezes through the coupe. And whenever that's not
enough to cool you off, R134a air conditioning can do the job.
When you lift either side of the butterfly hood, those bright valve
covers proudly announce you have proper Ford power in this blue
oval classic. It's the mighty 351 cubic-inch V8. It inhales deeply
with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with
authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. But don't just listen
to the rumble; follow its path in the undercharge photos. There
you'll see nice details like a color-matched chassis. Plus, you'll
also spot nice upgrades like the tubular A-arm front suspension,
three-speed automatic transmission, and front disc brakes.
There's less than 4,500 miles on this careful build, which is why
everything looks so thoughtful and crisp. It's a great total
package, and it's ready to run right now. Call today!!!
