Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Roadster
The 1934 Ford is infamously known as the classic that saw Bonnie
and Clyde end their run as they were ambushed and killed in a
stolen one of these cars in May of 1934. This association isn't all
they are known for though because the 34 Ford is the base to some
of the coolest hotrods on the road today. There is something about
these classics that just beg to be turned into street rods. The
clean 34 you see here is a more traditional car as the
customizations have been kept very subtle while incorporating more
traditional old school style. The car is all original Henry Ford
steel except for the Bob Drake running boards and rear splash pan.
The custom rear splash pan was created to incorporate tail lights
because for a while the car was being driven as a Highboy. The
fenders have since been reinstalled which have the original style
taillights but should you ever decide to go back the Highboy route
it is already set up and ready to go. The paint is a nice two tone
combination that incorporates a light Blue on the body and a dark
Blue on the fenders. The body was done around 15 years ago and the
fenders around 5. One of the cool things about this car is the some
of the history on it. It was originally turned into a Hotrod in
1952 and the current owner has actually known this car since 1955.
He didn't get the chance to purchase until 20 years ago but still
that is 65 years of knowing this exact classic! The chrome on the
car is all good and it has its original bumpers which look great in
front and rear. The retractable top on it is new and a Dark Blue
cloth with rear glass. It comes with a clear plastic cover to keep
it protected when stored. The wheels are nicely painted Red and
have chrome hubcaps and wide white wall tires.
Continuing with the traditional style the car is powered by a 296
c.i. flathead V8 motor. It features Edelbrock heads, a 2 deuce
intake, dual Stromberg 97 carburetors, a Harman Collins cam,
Johnson adjustable lifters, Mercury crank, and headers with dual
exhaust. The block has been relieved and bored to 3 5/8s. Paired
with the motor is a 3 speed manual transmission transferring power
back to the standard Ford rear end with 3:54 gears. Up front the
car has a dropped, drilled, and filled I beam axle. The suspension
is the original buddy spring suspension system. It has drum brakes
on all four corners with Buick drums up front.
The interior of the car has all been redone in a Dark Blue leather
and is in great shape. It has a Bench seat and custom door panels
with arm rests. The dash is out of a 1940 Ford which is a cool
touch. It utilizes all of the original 40 Ford styling, gauges,
trim, etc. The column shift set up is also out of a 40 Ford as is
the steering wheel. They suit the car nicely and look great. The
trunk has been reupholstered as well and has a bench rumble
seat.
This cool traditional hotrod has a lot of cool features and is
ready to go!
