Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Coupe Convertible
The great thing about the evolution of hot rodding is: over the
past 30 years a vast array of excellent products has continually
streamed onto the market. And presently, anyone with a checkbook
and an affinity for going way too fast and looking way too good can
build anything from state-of-the-art avant-garde to old school
cool.
This sweet Ford coupe, wrapping a modern chassis and reliable V8 in
show stopping aesthetics, is a ground-up build that combines the
core strengths of original hot rodding with an uncompromising
vision and top-notch componentry. And, if you're looking to score a
fully sorted custom that mixes classic good looks with proven road
manners, it's a strong candidate for your next street rod!
Exterior
A 34 3-window Factory 5 fiberglass body covers a Factory 5 frame.
It is bathed in beautiful metallic bronze and has a nifty shield
style front vertical ribbed grille. This is flanked by 2 single
headlights which have been custom made to fit the proportion of the
car. Now fender-less, bumper-less, and a hardtop that is slightly
chopped and also removable, the fiberglass is all in excellent
condition. Beautifully curvaceous lines for this body and sporty 17
inch from and big 20-inch rear American Racing Torque Thrust
Special Edition wheels are wrapped by all season radials. Take a
bow and grab the gold medal for this bronze painted rodder.
Interior
Within a fiberglass bronze frame the door panels have some padded
tuck and roll vinyl and a single armrest. Very stylish oval door
actuators are in the sill area. Moving inside 2 broadcloth buckets
courtesy of a Mazda Miata in charcoal gray are between the doors.
An undulating fiberglass painted bronze dash is fronted by an
Ididit tilt steering column topped by a modern banjo styled rally
steering wheel. A horizontal lineup of black bezel white faced
circular gauges graces the center of the dash, along with the
ignition and a few buttons. Charcoal gray carpeting showing some
wear covers the floors and goes into the toe kick areas.
Drivetrain
Shoehorned in the engine bay under the front flipping faux cowled
hood is now a 302ci V8 with Ford Racing badged valve coverings.
There is a 4-barrel carburetor strapped to the top and a T5 5-speed
manual transmission on back which throws power rearward to a Ford
8.8 inch pumpkin. Headers and stainless-steel mufflers aid in the
evacuation of spent fossils and air.
Undercarriage
The gray powder coated Factory 5 frame is very structurally sound.
At either end of the rear axle are Ford brakes. A 4 link with coil
over shocks, (QA1 shocks and springs), are on the back and upfront
is independent coil springs, (QA1). Power disc brakes are on all 4
corners and all its looking just great underneath.
Drive-Ability
This 302 cuber fired right up and off to the test track where
skating on American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and All season
radials is not an everyday occurrence in a hot rod. It has nice
smooth acceleration, good handling and a smooth ride. All functions
were working just great and it's a head turner. We had the whole
town beeping at us! Note that the top can be removed for the
convertible experience.
Factory 5 fiberglass, and a newer 302ci V8, modern interior and
chopped top, this bronze beauty is meant to be driven, unlike those
baby shoes you have on your dresser! And now stand for the
presentation of the medals and our national anthem!
