Vehicle Description
What do you get when you combine the smooth aesthetics of a
show-worthy street rod with the spry spirit of an old school muscle
car? This incredible Ford custom! With the universal appeal of high
dollar eye candy, and the road going prowess of a fully sorted
cruiser, this slick coupe is a unique, well-built classic that
provides its owner the best of both worlds. And what's better: you
can have your showstopper and drive it too for a fraction of the
money and time it takes to complete a ground-up build!
GO GREEN
A head-turning street rod that's dashed with a fair amount of
muscle car swagger, this all-steel Ford features a detailed, custom
appearance that's highlighted by a spectacular coat of reposeful
Spies Hecker two-stage. That pigment wraps a solid 1940 profile
that, during a detailed rotisserie restoration, was stripped bare
and lovingly massaged to form. And today, this classic rolls as one
lights-out head turner that's virtually guaranteed to make you weak
in the knees!
There really isn't much you can do to make an early '40s Ford more
attractive. The car's streamlined styling was a homerun when
originally introduced and, today, it's a stunning example of some
of the strongest elements of the highly regarded Art Deco movement.
At the front of this cherry custom, broad fenders center a polished
Standard Grille between stainless-trimmed headlights and an
elegant, Ford-branded hood. That hood points classy stainless trim
in front of opposing doors, which swing polished mirrors over
padded, all-steel running boards. Opposite those boards, an
unchopped greenhouse hangs tinted glass between electric wipers and
an ornate, Ford-branded trunk. And beneath that hatch, a second
chrome bumper splits the difference between polished exhaust pipes
and traditional taillights.
POWER FOR THE AGES
Pop the hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of proven Chevy small
block that looks good and runs great! A billet air cleaner funnels
wind through a coated Edelbrock carburetor, which revs thanks to a
quality Lokar linkage. That carb feeds a chromed Edelbrock
Performer EPS intake, which looks great between billet breathers
and billet valve covers. The fires get lit by a reliable billet
distributor, which sequences spark between a polished Flame-Thrower
coil and loomed Taylor plug wires. Spent gases fall through
stainless block hugger headers. At the front of those tubes, billet
pulleys spin an aluminum water pump between a polished alternator
and a polished AC compressor. At the front of those ancillaries, a
polished aluminum radiator centers a large electric puller fan
between a polished cap and corrugated hoses. And the glossy gray
mill looks great amid choice details like trick dipsticks, a cream
firewall and polished hood supports.
SEAMLESS UPGRADES
Take a long look under this classic and you'll find a roster of
significant modifications that add up to impressive dynamics and
big performance gains. The buff 350 utilizes a cooled TH200-4R
4-speed to twist a tough Ford 9-inch that's built with big, 3.70
gears. That axle pushes a sturdy Ford frame that was fully stripped
and rotisserie restored during the car's detailed rejuvenation. A
Mustang II-style front-clip leads traditional leaf springs that are
coupled with small lowering blocks. Tubular control arms cage
manual rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are quick and precise thanks
to power-assisted discs. Plenty of cruising comes courtesy of a Bob
Drake fuel tank. Spent gases are managed by aluminized pipes, which
thread Xlerator Turbo Mufflers. And power pounds the pavement
through painted steel wheels, which spin staggered BF Goodrich
whitewalls around stylish Art Deco stainless.
CLEAN AND CUSTOM
There's no shortage of street rods with custom interiors, but a
classic this cool always stands out! Installed by Twin City
Upholstery of Bloomington, Illinois, the car's custom cockpit kicks
off with a split-bench seat that's covered in a sea of plush
leather. In front of that throne, a classy, two-tone dash hides
modern, 12-volt wiring behind crisp Dakota Digital telemetry and
controls for Vintage Air conditioning. A polished mirror reflects a
dynamic headliner, which shades sculpted side panels that are
dotted with billet handles. Clean carpet frames polished,
floor-mount foot pedals. And the driver spins a timeless, "V8"
branded steering wheel around a tilting Flaming River column.
This striking Ford is a nicely finished classic that was built to
be driven AND seen. It uses top-notch components from some of the
best names in the business to create a unique custom that mixes
killer personality with awesome curb appeal. Looking for a road
ready hot rod that's guaranteed to draw a crowd wherever you go?
