Vehicle Description
You've seen it in the car world countless times. It's the phrase
"too much to list." Well, we tried here, but this 1936 Ford Model
68 3 Window Coupe is a top tier show rod in which every detail has
been executed and tweaked in the relentless pursuit of perfection.
There is plenty of information included with the car, including a
professional appraisal performed in 2018. It says the caliber of
all work performed on this vehicle is of the highest quality. The
entire vehicle is both highly detailed as well as being extremely
well finished by Tommy Carr of Carr's Hot Rods and Customs in Gold
Hill, Oregon. The builders did a masterful job of creating a
fully-equipped state of the art custom, while maintaining the
essential character of a timeless classic. Starting with a
hot-rodded 350 Chevy small block, stroked to 383 cubic inches, the
engine compartment visually integrates with the theme of the car.
The bold color scheme carries over and the three deuce painted carb
setup fits right in with a quintessential vintage hot rod. The
engine room also features an Automation tri-power linkage and fuel
rail, Vintage Air polished serpentine drive, and chrome A/C
compressor. Pairing this engine with a Turbo 350 automatic provides
a robust yet reliable power team ending up with the tried and true
9-inch Ford third member. In a competitive show environment, the
first objective is to capture the attention of the spectators as
well as the show judges. Mission accomplished via the show quality
Planet Green Pearl paint with Wimbledon White Pearl on the top
side. The effect is stunning in any light. Custom pinstriping and
graphics augment the gleaming paint. The all-steel body is smoothed
and filled, and features a filled and chopped top and solenoid
operated shaved doors with hidden hinges. It's topped off with a
frenched power antenna and a roof-mount satellite antenna. The
satellite antenna is a tip off as to the high-tech nature of this
build. The brilliant paint is nicely set off by a chrome '36 Ford
grille. You'll also find '40 Ford LED tail lights, a rolled rear
pan, smoothed '40 Ford bumper, and custom Ford logo exhaust tips
that are subtly integrated into the bumper. It sits on a custom
fabricated and painted notched frame, which by the way can be
dropped way way down. The car has Air Ride adjustable air bag front
and rear suspension with a quick and easy Level Pro Max system to
facilitate cruising and showing in maximum style. This baby is
slammed! For perspective, consider that on the Pro Max number one
setting, the rear bumper is a mere 3� inches from the ground. It
looks super cool, classic, and ultra-modern all at the same time.
Indeed, while showcasing the classic character of a revered 82 year
old automotive icon, this 1936 3-window Coupe now sports nearly all
the options and creature comforts you would expect to find in a
modern high performance automobile, all expertly executed. It looks
like it has regular crank windows, but the handles actually actuate
the power windows. The rear window is power operated as well!
Overhead is a custom console with a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo installed.
And would you believe cruise control? Yes, and Vintage Air air
conditioning with a very tidy control panel. You'll be riding low
in the lap of luxury. The custom interior surrounds you with
sumptuous white leather from the comfy bucket seats to the
headliner. There's more leather on the door panels, kick panels,
rear panel and shelf, a custom fabbed leather armrest, and leather
wrapped surrounds for the side and rear windows. Award-winning
looks, great performance, and max comfort -- they're all here. What
takes a winning show rod over the top is the details. This one has
American Autowire wiring, Air Ride Technologies 4-way ride 3-stage
air bag controls, a polished oil pan, billet transmission dipstick,
polished bolts and fasteners, chrome tubular a-arms, and a polished
horn. Here's a great opportunity to own a true state of the art
West Coast custom. The craftsmanship and execution of this fabulous
'36 contribute to an overall impression of sheer excellence. Each
element: exterior, interior, suspension, mechanical quality, and
the overall concept and integration, will surely rank high on the
judge's scoresheet even at the most competitive of events. Between
shows, take your 1936 Ford Model 68 3-window Coupe out and enjoy
the ride.
