Vehicle Description
If you're like most gearheads, you remember the days when modifying
your hot rod meant removing extra parts, cutting a little metal and
hammering out some fresh curves. But, as time progresses,
technology progresses, and what once existed as merely a backyard
hobby has now grown into a hyper-competitive, multi-million dollar
industry. Today, unless you have a decade and deep pockets, it
takes a serious plan and skilled craftsmanship to even think about
competing with the world's best street rods. And when it comes to
planning and craftsmanship, it doesn't get much better than this
all-steel Dearborn Deuce. A modern take on time-honored hot rod
tradition, this slick little roadster is a super cool custom
that'll fulfill your needs faster, and cheaper, than any project
you've spent years idealizing!
STEEL A GLANCE
Built to be cruised and enjoyed to its fullest extent, this
top-notch Ford was constructed on an excellent foundation. In the
world of modern street rodding, it doesn't get much better than 850
pounds of Dearborn Deuce sheetmetal. Twice as heavy as most
all-steel reproductions and, in fact, featuring a substructure that
weighs as much as most competitors' entire bodies, every Dearborn
Deuce is stamped, welded and sealed by the same Detroit entities
that supply major OEM automakers. That level of precision results
in a reliable and authentic custom that, in addition to requiring
minimal paint prep, retains all its original lines, functional
parts and structural integrity. It seems only natural, then, that
this Deuce's staunch body displays smooth panels and a straight
profile that would give any composite queen a serious run for its
money. And, since a profile that nice deserves to be seen and
celebrated, it wears decidedly regal Metallic Blue two-stage that's
exalted by a tight cloth top and tasteful red and blue
pinstripes.
At the front of that pigment, color-keyed frame horns hang a
polished spreader beneath a polished grille, a Ford-branded shell
and trick, dual-mode headlights. Behind that shell, a three-piece
hood runs vertical louvers toward a short windshield that anchors a
polished frame between polished mirrors. Those mirrors reflect
shaved doors, subtle fenders and a shaved deck. And at the bottom
of that deck, LED taillights illuminate a second polished spreader,
a body-matched fuel tank and a "V8" branded fuel cap.
TRI THE POWER
Splay the car's hood and you'll find a reliable, 350 cubic inch
Chevrolet small block that's been polished, rebuilt and fitted with
storied Tri-power induction. Revs are created when polished and
louvered air cleaners float wind into a spry Offenhauser intake
that's topped by a trio of stainless-lined Rochester carburetors.
At the perimeter of that intake, polished Edelbrock valve covers
cap iron heads, which cap an iron, color-keyed block. Behind those
heads, a familiar points distributor shoots spark through loomed
MSD Super Conductor plug wires, which snake around coated block
hugger headers. Billet pulleys spin a polished alternator opposite
a polished AC compressor. At the front of those ancillaries, a
polished expansion tank and giant puller fan dress a beefy aluminum
radiator. And items like a polished dipstick, a Lokar throttle
linkage and a coated fuel pump highlight the builder's astute
attention to detail.
CRUISE WITH EASE
Under this sweet cruiser, a dressed and cooled 700R4 4-speed kicks
a 9-inch Ford axle that's built with a posi-traction differential
and big, 3.90 gears. That drivetrain pushes a 4-link rear-clip
that's dampered with adjustable QA-1 coil-overs. Opposite those
polished stilts, polished wishbones tilt polished Pete & Jakes
shocks around a polished and drilled Drop Beam. That suspension
rolls under a sturdy Dearborn Deuce chassis, which seats manual
steering between manual disc and drum brakes. A high-octane
soundtrack is provided by glasspack-style mufflers, which bark
through stainless tailpipes. At the corners, painted Boyd
Coddington blades spin 165R15 Nankangs in front of 285/70R15 BF
Goodrich Radial T/As. And cool detailing includes stainless lines,
a polished horn, a polished filter cover and a quality Wilwood
proportioning valve.
RIDE IN STYLE
Inside this awesome roadster, class is the name of the game as a
tasteful leather cockpit crafts a stylish complement to the car's
perennially pleasing paint. Pop the doors and you'll find a
contoured bench that rides both firm and supportive between pleated
side panels. Below those panels, tight carpet floats piped floor
mats around a polished brake pedal, a polished spoon accelerator
and a tall Lokar shifter that's founded in a body-matched boot. At
the front of that rug, a sculpted dash centers clean VDO telemetry
next to controls for Vintage Air conditioning, controls for fluid
power windows and controls for Rockford Fosgate audio. And in front
of the driver, a '40 Ford steering wheel laps a tilting column
that's finished with modern Cruise Control and a MQQN knee-knocker
tach.
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this awesome custom carries the
kind of retro swagger every traditional enthusiast dreams about.
From its timeless body to its comfortable cockpit, there simply
aren't many cooler cars out there. Looking for an engaging cruiser
that's an absolute blast to own? Come claim this impressive Ford
Deuce!
