Vehicle Description
Daring to be different is great, especially if the distinctiveness
is as good looking as this 1938 Dodge Business Coupe. With an
all-steel body, slick paint, custom A/C interior, a powerful
stroker V8, and those huge rear tires, this is the perfect way to
fit in with the street machine crowd while still remaining very
distinctive.
It only takes one glance to see there was a lot invested in this
custom build. The maroon has a nice modern gloss, and so the
clearcoat luster flows over the curvy fenders like they were
waterfalls. The bumpers have been removed front and rear to
continue this smooth attitude. There's plenty of classic appeal
here with the bright vintage grille, full-length trim, and ram hood
ornament leading the way. But really, we all know this is a true
street machine. It announces its powerful intentions with the
polished dual exhaust tips and hot rod-style pinstriping on the
trunk. Plus, those bright Weld Racing wheels draw extra attention
to the ultra-wide Mickey Thompson Sportsman rear tires to show
there's true power meeting the pavement.
Open the doors and you'll see a nice mix of performance and
comfort. It starts with tan bucket seats that offer much more
modern comfort than the Dodge Brothers made 80 years ago. This
pattern sets the tone for the door panels, carpets, and headliner.
Even the business coupe's extra-large trunk is finished to match.
Plus, you've got all the best in modern comfort features like power
windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod input, and cold-blowing R134a
air conditioning. The driver gets a wood rimmed three-spoke sports
steering wheel, B&M shifter, SW auxiliary readouts, and a large
column-mounted AutoMeter tach.
Under the hood is serious V8 power. This 383 stroker motor offers
big block displacement in a small block weight. And this is a fresh
powerhouse installed only about 7,500 miles ago. Plus, you have all
the right power upgrades, like a Holley four-barrel carburetor and
Holley performance intake. There's a three-speed automatic
transmission with a shift kit to optimize the power. This feeds a
stout Ford 9-inch rear with 3.90 gears. As you look at the
undercarriage photos, you'll see more nice upgrades like a Mustang
II-style independent front end, and the rear is a narrowed
four-link with adjustable coilovers. Plus, you have front disc
brakes and rack & pinion steering for optimal control over this
street machine.
This is a custom where you enjoy serious power and a serious rumble
all from the comfort of an A/C interior. That makes for an
unbeatable package you need to get your hands on right now. Call
