For Sale: 1933 Ford Model 40 in Mansfield, Texas

Vehicle Description

1933 Ford 3 Window Coupe

The Street Rod hobby emerged by taking a vehicle manufactured typically prior to 1949 and modifying it for style, safety, reliability and incorporating more modern features and technology. Out of those cars the early 30s Ford was king and completely took over the craze. That being said, not all Street Rods are created equal. This 1933 sits at the top of the list for the level of detail that went into its construction. If you want a Street Rod that puts others to shame, look no further. We have dealt with a ton of cars over the years both in the business and on a personal level. At first glance even those familiar with these cars would have a tough time identifying this car as a non steel car. The build was completed in 2007 but you would have no idea it wasn't just completed yesterday. Nothing on it is dated and it has been kept in immaculate condition since being finished. It took 2 years to build and it was all professionally done. The Redneck body features full fenders and running boards with a 3 1/2 inch chop. It has Dupont Black paint with a multi stage clear coat and has been polished out with a mirror like finish. It has a beautifully chromed front grill and details like keeping the door handles, adding the cowl lights, having chrome swan neck mirrors, the steel taillights, the painted headlights, the louvered steel hood and covering the running boards all work together to give the impression of an all steel car. It even has the stock style bumpers in place which a lot of people neglect to add to these cars. The glass is all in great condition throughout, tinted, and it has a nice polished aluminum windshield frame. The doors are suicide but electric safety pins have been added along with a warning system for safety. One really neat feature is on the nose the car wears a chrome Greyhound hood ornament. This would originally act as the radiator cap but it is currently all for looks. To open the hood you have to remove this ornament and then once the hood is up you can put it back in place or the car comes with a chrome flat cover to put in place. It may seem like a small detail but features like that really show how well the car was thought out and designed. The car has a great stance and rides on a set of Foose Nitrous II polished aluminum wheels. They are 17x7 up front and 18x8 in rear with Falken radial tires.

The steel hood opens from either side and reveals the Chevrolet Fast Burn ZZ4 350ci engine that is rated at 355 hp. It is loaded with chrome and polished components everywhere you look. It features Street Performance chrome "ZZ4" valve covers, a chrome air cleaner, polished aluminum intake, a chrome water pump, chrome pulleys, chrome drier, polished aluminum compressor, MSD Flamethrower distributor and an Edelbrock polished aluminum dual quad carburetor set up. The car has a great sound through jet-coated headers into custom exhaust with stainless steel tips that exit below the rear bumper. Cooling is no problem due to the Griffin high performance aluminum radiator & condenser with a stainless steel hose kit and electric fans. Combined with the motor is a 700R4 automatic transmission with transmission cooler and a Corvette stall converter, servo and governor. The car is very clean underneath with a complete Pete & Jake's frame. It also has a drilled and chrome front I beam axle, chrome ladder bars, and chrome shocks. The Superbell Super Stopper brake kit is an excellent system that incorporates 3/8 inch rotors, finned polished aluminum backing plates and polished 4 piston Wilwood calipers. Everywhere you look there are high quality components in place. Other nice features include the 17 gallon stainless steel fuel tank.

Inside the car has a custom 2 tone Red and Black leather interior that is in excellent condition. The upholstery looks fresh and was done in a roll n pleat style. The Glide Engineering contoured bench seat has a center folding armrest and the interior was set up specifically for improved leg room as these cars are notoriously difficult for taller individuals to fit in. It also has modern Black lap belts. The carpeting is in great condition throughout with no issues. It has a custom overhead console that houses all the switches and controls. This was done in an effort to keep the dash clean and minimalistic. It is painted the same gloss Black as the body and is reserved for the chrome adjustable AC vents, Vintage AC controls and Autometer 5 gauge panel with tachometer mounted in a Billet aluminum bezel. The Banjo style wheel is custom made and tops off the chrome tilt column with stainless u-joints and shafts. Other noteworthy features include the Lokar 16 inch floor shifter, chrome pedals, Secret Audio AM/FM/10 disc CD changer with remote and Quality Restorations turn signal lever. The car even has defrost which is an often forgotten about feature on these cars. The trunk is all nicely carpeted and houses a kill switch and courtesy light.

This professionally built classic has to be one of the nicest '33s on the road. It has a total of 5,244 miles since completed and was built to be driven and enjoyed. It still looks fresh and has been appraised for $125,000.

This car is worth every penny of $88,500.00!
