Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is excited to offer this
gorgeous Merlot Jewel Red 1936 Ford Cabriolet replica. Starting
with a Total Cost Involved frame that was set up for a lowered
stance, the front was outfitted with chromed tubular upper and
lower control arms, chromed sway bar and stabilizer bar, coil-over
shocks, Mustang II power rack and pinion steering, and disc brakes.
Out back, a Ford 9-inch rear with 3.70:1 gears and TractionLoc
differential was chosen to handle getting the power to the ground,
and chromed gas shocks handle the damping. The power train consists
of a 1997 Ford Racing 302 CID H.O. V8, with GT-40 heads, and a
Mustang Cobra aluminum intake. Backing the 302 is a Ford C4 3-speed
automatic transmission. A large aluminum radiator keeps the 302
cool, and a custom serpentine accessory drive system makes belt
changes easy. A 20-gallon stainless steel fuel tank with high flow
fuel pump sends as much fuel to the 302 as your right foot needs,
and the custom dual exhaust handles getting rid of the spent
fossils from the 302, as well as providing that vintage hot rod
sound. Other goodies on this glass-bodied street rod include Ron
Francis wiring harness, Lokar shifter, through-frame brake lines,
and chromed real wire wheels with classic raised white letter BFG
Radial T/A tires at each corner. The hood, engine side panels, and
grille are steel Ford pieces, and their fitment is nicely executed.
A real NOS (New Old Stock) Ford gas lid has been outfitted with a
lock, which is a nice touch. There is even a "Ford blue" LED
lighting system for the undercarriage, which provides a cool glow
at night. The interior was thoughtfully designed by a Ford
engineer, and includes a full complement of vintage Ford style
gauges, a nicely integrated vent system and cold air conditioning,
Kenwood Dual DIN touch screen LED display-equipped AM/FM/Satellite
radio head unit with backup camera display, integrated Bluetooth
hands-free connection, GPS tracking by Lojack, four Harmon-Kardon
Kappa speakers, JL Audio 500 watt 4-channel amp, a Euphoria
subwoofer, and Kenwood tweeters. This baby can belt out the tunes!
Front seat occupants will enjoy the smell of the leather trim and
find comfortable accommodations in the perforated leather-equipped
high back buckets. If the sun beats down on you too much, just
raise the custom beige cloth top. Rumble seat passengers get
treated to a more weather-resistant synthetic leather bench out
back. This '36 Ford replica has everything a street rodder needs to
have a fun time getting to all of the car shows you'll want to
attend (or just plain cruising in style on those summer nights).
With cold Air Conditioning, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial
Tires, Seat Belts, and a great sound system, you can't go wrong!
