Vehicle Description
This 1937 Ford Coupe has come a long way since gracing the pages of
Rod & Custom magazine back in September of '72. The brown metallic
paint may show some battle scars from years of cruising, but it
still gleams in the sunlight, capturing the timeless allure of this
classic custom. With a raked stance courtesy of polished aluminum
wheels - 14s leading the charge and 15s bringing up the rear - all
wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A rubber, this vintage Ford means
business. The front tires, at 195/70R14, might seem modest, but the
beefy 255/70R15s out back suggest there's some serious power
waiting to be unleashed.
Swing open the door and you'll be greeted by a tan interior that's
aged like a fine wine. The burlap-style upholstery on the bench
seat has weathered the years with grace, offering both comfort and
character. Chrome accents around the windows and doors add a touch
of flash, while the leather-wrapped three-bar steering wheel feels
like an old friend in your hands. The Stewart Warner gauge package
keeps you in the loop, and the Pioneer AM/FM cassette player,
paired with an underdash vacuum gauge, is ready to provide the
perfect driving soundtrack.
Lift the hood and you'll find a meticulously detailed 289 cubic
inch Ford V8, eagerly awaiting your command. A trio of Holley
two-barrel carburetors perched atop an aluminum intake manifold
hints at the power on tap, while polished accessories like the
radiator catch can, fuel rail with chrome filter & fittings,
alternator, main fan pulley, water pump, and timing cover add a
dash of style to the engine bay. Stainless steel shorty headers
funnel spent gases into a custom dual exhaust system with
aftermarket mufflers, creating a throaty rumble that's sure to
announce your arrival. A smooth-shifting Tremec 5-speed manual
transmission harnesses the V8's power, sending it back to an 8-inch
rear axle. And when it's time to rein in the ponies, manual brakes
with discs up front provide confident, fade-free stops.
