Vehicle Description
One day we might look back and consider today the zenith of street
rodding. With an endless assortment of components, a deep pool of
talent and many ways to fuse the two together, the possibilities
are simply limitless. And the best part is: modern rods can be as
driver-friendly as production cars while offering twice the style!
The artistic culmination of custom leather, a professionally
polished profile and small block Chevrolet power, this spectacular
roadster is about as nice as hot rods come. And with modern audio,
Vintage Air climate control and a custom chassis, it's a fully
sorted cruiser that's ready for years of enjoyment. Want to view
the street rod scene from the best seat in the house? Take a close
look at this awesome Ford!
THE SHAPE OF CUSTOM STYLE
Sourced from Coast To Coast Street Rods of Beauceville, Quebec
City, Canada, this hot roadster's quality fiberglass body was super
clean before its six-figure build even started. But nonetheless,
the car was subjected to a full, ground-up massage that included
hours of labor-intensive prep. Naturally, that dramatic attention
to detail was highlighted in equally dramatic pigment, which
manifests as sweet House Of Kolor Tangerine Kandy. And today, with
an undeniable nod to timeless Ford design, this classic rolls as a
banner show piece that celebrates the best virtues of modern street
rodding.
Thanks to high quality trim and first-rate form, this hot rod
really puts the "cool" in old school. At the front of the car,
hand-made billet bends an artistic grille between alluring '37 Ford
headlights. Those bezels lead airbrushed spears, which stretch
between slinky mirrors and chrome Chrysler door handles that pop
predictable Carriage Doors. Those doors swivel between fiberglass
boards and a lift-off top that's finished with tight black cloth.
And behind that cloth, a smooth decklid centers a frenched tag
between polished exhaust and custom LED taillights that feature
airbrushed bezels.
SMOOTH STYLE, SMOOTH POWER
If you think the exterior of this classic is impressive, you're
going to LOVE what's under its hood! Smooth, sorted and ready to
roll, the car's high performance LT1 is widely regarded as one of
the best small blocks ever produced. At the front of that
Corvette-sourced mill, a polished serpentine drive spins lucid
power steering opposite a chromed alternator and a chromed AC
compressor. A polished air cleaner fronts proven Street &
Performance fuel injection. That system feeds a dressed factory
intake, which feeds factory aluminum heads and GM-spec internals. A
relocated battery provides fire for loomed Taylor plug wires. Spent
gases exit through coated block hugger headers. And cooling comes
courtesy of a big Performance Rod & Custom radiator that's backed
by a color-keyed puller fan. Visually, not a detail was missed
under this Ford's tidy bonnet. Niceties like chromed valve covers,
chromed breathers, braided hoses and a polished oil pan give the
color-keyed small block decidedly show worthy aesthetics. And the
car's Tangerine Kandy engine bay stands a smooth firewall behind
polished dipsticks, polished fluid reservoirs and a polished
starter.
CUSTOM STYLE, CUSTOM FOUNDATION
This roadster's pert profile and proven powerplant roll on a custom
chassis that's been professionally smoothed and fully painted. The
spry small block torques a dressed and cooled 700R4 4-speed, which
spins a painted driveshaft that turns big 4.10 gears. That slick
drivetrain pushes a fourth generation Corvette rear-clip behind a
Mustang II-style front-clip. Naturally, that fully independent
suspension has been fitted with adjustable Air Ride Technologies
bags that are fully programmable. Turns come courtesy of power
rack-and-pinion steering. A polished brake booster jolts modern
calipers, which clamp cross-drilled rotors. At the center of the
floor, custom, fully coated exhaust breathes through coated
SpinTech mufflers. And at the corners of the chassis, stylish Boyd
Coddington blades turn 215/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front
of 295/40R20 Falken Azenis.
THE FEEL OF GOOD TIMES
Pop this classic's suicide doors and you'll find a full custom
interior that perfectly matches the aforementioned hardtop. Stylish
leather sills cage clean carpet beneath billet foot pedals and
sculpted side panels that front modern power windows and modern
power door locks. Plush seats, dotted with stylish ostrich accents,
frame a tiered console that's centered on a chromed Lokar shifter.
A Tangerine Kandy dash streaks custom airbrush art through Classic
Instruments Velocity telemetry. The driver spins a polished and
ostrich-wrapped steering wheel around a polished, tilting column.
Naturally, the car's trunk features a full suite of leather and
ostrich. Professionally installed audio pipes a rearview camera
through Pioneer touchscreen command while bumping tunes through
hidden Blaupunkt amps and crisp Infinity speakers. Easy miles pass
thanks to modern Cruise Control. And if owning this classic doesn't
make you cool enough, there's a whole Vintage Air climate system at
your fingertips.
Despite the availability of components, building a quality street
rod that looks, runs and drives as it should is still a serious
undertaking. The builders of this Ford didn't cut a single corner,
and it shows from every angle. With all the right parts, and
tasteful looks that will always draw a crowd, this slick little
roadster would be a great addition to any garage. Call, click or
