Vehicle Description
Looking for an incredible Ford custom? Want it in a package that
doesn't require red ropes and a car bubble? Well, as the old saying
goes: 'Car culture starts where the assembly line stops'. And now
that more enthusiasts are starting to migrate to muscle cars, cool
creations like this neat Ford sedan are becoming more exclusive and
more approachable. The product of a detailed, ground-up build, this
sweet street rod wraps spry Chevrolet Performance power in trick
PPG two-stage that dramatically emphasizes form. And if you've
always dreamed of owning a choice hot rod that's both fun and
classy, it's your ticket to classic car bliss!
MAKE YOU BLUSH
A head-turning street rod that's dashed with a fair amount of
muscle car swagger, this impressive Ford features a detailed,
custom appearance that's highlighted by a spectacular coat of PPG
Vibrance Make You Blush two-stage. That pigment wraps a solid
profile that, perfected during a four year restoration that
involved a six-figure check, has been 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, a smoothed bumper guards a
familiar De Luxe grille, which rides between halo headlights, LED
parking lamps and an elegant, "V8" branded hood. That hood points
classy stainless at opposed wipers, which clear a one-piece
windshield between a filled cowl and a smoked greenhouse. Massaged
doors slide one-piece glass between matted boards, shaved drip
rails and simple mirrors that reflect traditional handles. And at
the back of the car, a second smoothed bumper traces LED
taillights, a polished trunk handle, a "V8" branded fuel cap and
sculpted quarters that are fashioned around coated exhaust
tips.
MAKE YOU SMILE
Activate the massaged hood's custom latch and you'll be carried
into a valley of brightwork that's surrounded by glossy PPG
foothills. Sourced directly from Chevrolet Performance, this
sedan's charming personality comes courtesy of 350 cubic inches of
hot ZZ6 crate engine that twists stout 9.7 to 1 compression into an
easy 420 horsepower and 408 lb./ft. of tire twisting torque. The
mean motor's energy mixture is supplied by FAST sequential fuel
injection, which hangs snazzy, red-tinged rails between a red
throttle body, a billet air cleaner and a polished Racing Head
Service intake. That intake feeds aluminum Fast Burn cylinder
heads, which hang billet breathers and billet valve covers above a
hydraulic roller cam and aluminum roller rockers. Inside the 4-bolt
block, a forged and shot peened crank spins forged and powdered
rods under hypereutectic pistons. A billet distributor sequences
fire between a polished coil and loomed MSD Super Conductor plug
wires. That fire is kept in check by a custom aluminum radiator,
which is mated to a polished cap, a polished reservoir and opposed
electric fans. A polished and red-tinged serpentine drive spins an
aluminum water pump between a polished alternator, a polished AC
compressor and a polished power steering pump. Spent gases cycle
through coated shorty headers. And first-rate details include trick
dipsticks, custom fluid reservoirs and billet Ringbrothers hood
supports.
MAKE YOU LEAN
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 ZZ6 utilizes a dressed and shielded
T56 6-speed to twist a tough Ford 9-inch. That axle pushes a world
class Roadster Shop chassis, which threads adjustable Penske
coil-overs through an independent front-clip and a 4-bar rear-clip.
Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are
quick and precise thanks to monochromatic Wilwood calipers, which
squeeze 20 pistons around a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors.
Spent gases are managed by coated pipes, which make excellent use
of coated MagnaFlow mufflers. Power pounds the pavement through
Schott Mod 5s, which spin 225/40ZR18 Michelins and 245/40ZR20
Michelins under requisite mini tubs. And detailing is, of course,
top notch, with this Ford's PPG-coated floors dotted with trusty
items like stainless fluid lines, a Wilwood proportioning valve and
a billet SSBC master cylinder.
MAKE YOU HAPPY
There's no shortage of street rods with custom interiors, but a
classic this cool always stands out! The car's extraordinary digs
kick off with modern bucket seats that are a covered in a sea of
plush, two-tone leather. In front of those seats, a custom,
satin-finish dash centers brushed controls for Vintage Air
conditioning below red-tinged Classic Instruments telemetry and
Excelon Kenwood audio that's finished with Bluetooth, Navigation
and a rearview camera. A custom, leather-wrapped roll bar strings
three-point harnesses between custom, satin-finish side panels.
Trick billet handles slide power-operated windows toward a custom,
splined headliner. Custom foot pedals front a short Long shifter,
which sails premium carpet that pads a custom floor, which conceals
all the car's wiring. The driver spins a polished, banjo-style
steering wheel around a tilting, satin-finish column. And
naturally, the passengers stow essentials in a carpeted and
custom-upholstered trunk.
Fully sorted and ready to cruise, this impressive Ford is a
timeless take on approachable street rodding. With great
performance, a classic driving experience and killer looks, it's
the kind of car that'll have you thanking yourself with every walk
to the garage. Call, click or visit https://www.RKMotors.com for
