STK 3084 1942 Street Rod
There were not many Fords built in 1942 as assembly plants were
being converted to produce equipment for the military. That said,
no factory ever produced a Ford coupe like this one. Our absolutely
stunning 1942 Ford Street Rod is a masterpiece. The Ford received a
full restoration (2012) that incorporated tasteful customization
with a broad range of mechanical enhancements - all meticulously
carried out. The end result is truly stunning. The coupe body was
modestly chopped and refinished in a virtually perfect coat of
Mocha Frost Metallic. All handles and trim have been shaved and the
headlights, taillights and exhaust outlets have been beautifully
'frenched'. Electric door latches are managed by three separate
systems and the front fascia has been carefully redesigned to give
the vertical bar grill a whole new look. The front bumper has been
retained and the rear was deleted. Finally, the exterior is
accented with 17"/18" 5-spoke Billet Specialties wheels that mount
Pirelli performance radials. The well-designed interior is pure
craftsmanship. Smart beige leather is complimented by a stylish
dash that incorporates a full package of digital gauges.
Comfortable bucket seats (power driver), custom center console,
A/C, power tinted windows/trunk and tilt-wheel complete the
interior. Sounds are furnished by a premium Pioneer AM/FM/CD sound
system and the fully upholstered trunk has a power release. A
beautifully detailed engine compartment (note the custom firewall)
houses a 454ci Chevy big-block that sounds amazing and is very
streetable. It is equipped with a high-rise intake, Edelbrock carb
and electric fuel pump. The hydraulic cam burbles with a mild
lift/duration and tube headers exit into a free-flowing dual
exhaust. An aluminum radiator w/electric fans handles cooling and
an Optima battery furnishes juice. The 700R43 automatic trans
transfers torque to a GM 10-bolt differential with street gearing.
A virtually spotless custom chassis mounts power steering, power
disc/drum brakes w/Hydroboost (pressure supplied by power steering
pump to power the brake booster) and multi-link rear suspension
w/coilover shocks. This handsome '42 Ford street rod is ready for
its new home - your Blue Oval garage? ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS
IS".
