Vehicle Description
This no-expense spared, blank-check built 1933 Ford 3-window coupe
might just be the most perfectly-proportioned hot rod ever
designed. Just look at the curves on this slick, all-steel example:
the raked and chopped top, the smooth taper of the fenders that are
stuffed to the brim with bling, and the way the insane two-tone
paint covers the incredibly straight body. And she's not just a
looker either, because the hardware underneath is top class with a
572 V8 augmented with dual quads and a huge blower system providing
the power, a custom chassis and frame planting it to the ground,
and a custom leather interior transporting the passengers. Nothing
is perfect in this world, but I can say with confidence that I've
never seen a streetrod come closer.
The body on this show-piece is all Henry Ford steel - at this price
point it darn well better be - and even the original frame was
retained, although it was boxed for greater stability and finished
to an incredibly high-end level. Up top the bodywork and finish are
so nice that the word "excellent" doesn't even begin to explain
things, and if you think the pictures are amazing, wait unit you
get a look at this beauty in person. The look is ideal and full of
custom touches that are highlighted with a lowered stance, a 3-inch
chopped roof, extended running boards with exhaust cut-outs, and a
custom rear roll pan that all work together to give the rod a very
unique and tough attitude. But the fun doesn't stop there, as more
custom tricks were added to this insanely expensive build,
including a custom 3-piece Hagen hood with a cut-out for the big
chrome blower, custom-fit window glass, and custom hand-built
taillamps that were smoothly integrated into the rear fenders. The
full-fendered Ford positively glows in the sunlight thanks to a lot
of metallic and pearl in the custom finish, which is show-quality
throughout and is the kind of paint that wins trophies at big
shows. The paint was borrowed from the Lexus modern line of
finishes, Champagne Gold over Candy Red, with custom pinstripe work
finished by expert Mitch Kim. The contrast between the colors works
perfectly on the coupe's body and it's allowed to do almost all the
talking, with the original '33 Ford grille, wheels and engine
providing the accompanying bling. Those Stock-looking King
Bee-style headlights give it a traditional look up front, and the
polished and painted frame and chassis peeks out just enough from
underneath to attract the eye. Everything fits together
beautifully, and if there are any flaws they're incredibly small,
further proof that this '33 Ford is in a class of its own.
The custom interior is just as beautifully finished, with
strikingly sculpted bucket seats, an innovative center arm rest and
console, and a matching headliner and door panels. Experts at Jon
Lind Interiors did the work, and the leather upholstery those pros
used is super high-end, featuring cream seat covers accented with
red ostrich accents that are continued throughout the cabin. Plush
carpeting below looks amazing and helps control noise and heat, so
this Ford feels a lot more substantial than it would have in 1933
and all the amenities are included: A/C, tilt wheel, and a kicking
stereo. You'll note that the custom dash was finished to match the
leather and exterior paint scheme and then filled with very cool
digital/analog dials inside an all-in-one pod. The Vintage Air A/C
system is neatly integrated into the lower dash and custom center
console, and the Eclipse multi-media head unit powers a kickin'
stereo system that sounds downright spectacular in the
well-insulated cabin. Add features like the chrome Ididit tilt
column, power windows and trunk, and a Billet Specialties steering
wheel that seems to match the gauge panel, you have a car that's
built to cruise yet still retains the flair of the original design.
A large fully upholstered trunk was made to match and makes it
practical, too; just imagine taking your next road trip in this
awesome coupe!
If you're going to have a high-impact hotrod with a six-figure
price tag, it had better be able to dance, so this one sports a 572
cubic inch Chevrolet V8 with plenty of go power. Dressed with a
giant 871 blower induction system from The Blower Shop, a matching
pulley drive system, 572 aluminum heads, and a pair of Holley
4-barrel carbs, it definitely has the high-performance hardware.
Fortunately, it backs it up by running extremely well and making
big horsepower, yet it's still docile enough to drive regularly.
Polished chrome valve covers, polished chrome accessories
throughout, all inside a beautifully painted engine bay means it
looks as good as it runs, and with Sanderson headers, a full MSD
ignition system and Ron Francis wiring, and a huge Walker aluminum
radiator, it runs incredibly well. Its good road manners are no
doubt aided by the GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a
narrowed 9-inch Kugel rear axle, along with all the sick custom
stuff going on underneath. Up front, there's a chromed 4-bar
dropped-tube set-up to give it modern ride and handling, not to
mention 4-wheel power disc brakes, while the rear is a triangulated
4-bar coilover set-up. Everything is dripping in chrome and gallons
of Candy Red paint, and it's so nice that the new owner should
travel with mirrors to set-up at every stop. A custom exhaust with
Sanderson long-tube headers sounds spectacular and uses cool
outlets built into the running boards. Finally, that perfect stance
is enhanced by insanely shiny Billet Specialties wheels wearing
225/45/18 front and 275/40/20 rear Toyo performance tires.
This is an incredibly impressive rod that's freshly finished and
ready to collect countless trophies. Low miles, a great one-off
build, and a classic look that will stand the test of time, all
ready to rock. Call today!
