For Sale: 1937 Ford Roadster in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Henry Ford didn't make them this good looking! It's a new fiberglass body sitting on a new chassis! Modern Corvette engine plus it has a custom Interior and a removable hard top! Plus it has air conditioning and an automatic overdrive transmission. Less than 1,800 miles since completion. 1 owner for the past 20 years. This show car is sophisticated and stylish!

EXTERIOR: Sleek! Excellent clean all fiberglass body by Wild Rod Factory. Notice no trim and no door handles. They really accentuated the lines and made them even more gorgeous. Integrated led taillights, recessed license plate, and port holes flanking either side of the hood are just a few of the custom body modifications. The stainless steel front grille is purely exquisite. Original style teardrop headlights with integrated turn signals. Power locking deadbolts keep the suicide doors secured while cruising. The removable hard top is extremely nice with a dark grey canvas exterior and a red upholstered underside that matches the interior perfectly. It's sitting on a sweet set of staggered wheels by Billet Specialties. 17" in front and 18" that are extra wide in the back, and the overall stance is just killer.

INTERIOR: This red just tickles the senses! Beautiful door panels all molded and upholstered. Smooth clean dash with an integrated LED gauge cluster, ignition, and all the knobs/buttons including climate control for the air conditioning are hidden underneath, this really gives it a modern custom look. The upholstered bucket seats are very comfortable and supportive with ample room for 2 adults. Air ride controls are located on a panel behind the seats for easy access. The center console has built in cruise control switches and a sweet Lokar shifter. The speakers and vents were fabricated into the kick panels and cleans the look up even more. They even have custom made floor mats on top of the plush red carpeting. It wired with a modern blade style fuse panel. The custom billet pedals, and a chrome tilt column with custom billet wheel (that matches the rims perfectly) nicely round off this interior.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Modern Corvette LT1 350 engine rated at 300 horsepower. This is a good reliable stock engine that is equipped with fuel injection. Additional amenities include air conditioning and power steering. It's nicely dressed in ribbed aluminum valve covers and breather. It is also flanked by a set of compact headers. It has an aluminum radiator with an electronic fan that keeps things cool. What an organized and clean looking overall presentation!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Power lift trunk lid, the button is concealed under the dash. Very nice boxed, upholstered, and carpeted to match the interior. Chrome Billet hinges and rod are a classy detail. It has an Alpine stereo system with the controls neatly incorporated (remote control included). The quick fill gas cap is easily accessible for refueling. A totally killer finished trunk and colors!

UNDERSIDE: Underneath it's very nice and fresh looking! Everything is red and nicely compliments the interior: the chassis, the control arms, the supports, even the rear end is painted red. The frame is all boxed, very substantial with many supports. Up first has tubular control arms, air bags and shocks with rack & pinion steering too. Out back is a four link setup with tubular control arms, air ride and shocks. It also has a composite gas tank. Power disc brakes at all 4 wheels with the master cylinder/booster nicely concealed underneath. Really neatly bent custom exhaust with polished rectangular tips exiting out the rear. Looking up at the LT1 engine it's nice and clean with a high torque starter. The 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission and driveshaft look spotless too. It has a Ford rear end. The floors look amazing and are painted body color.

SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we fixed the driver's side carpeting, rewired the horns, installed a rear view mirror, adjusted the fuel gauge setting, tightened the u-joints, tightened the steering column, and replaced the axle seals.

This is a full blown custom hot rod, top to bottom. The high end workmanship speaks for itself. If you are in the market for a real showstopper, look no further!
