INTRODUCTION: A Ford motor in a Ford with a 5-speed manual! Mostly
you will find Chevy motors with an automatic trans. This is a
quality build throughout. It incorporates the vintage charm with
some modern enhancements making fun to look at and twice as fun to
drive!
EXTERIOR: Anyone else think of ZZ Top when they look at this car?
Its a classic hot rod: '33 chopped three window coupe with suicide
doors and full fenders. It's a very high quality fiberglass
reproduction body that is absolutely straight and fits very nicely.
The running boards have some custom curvatures and the hood is a
metal three piece that can open from either side. The red paint is
polished smooth and glossy. I like that it has original style door
handles and original style big headlights. The headlights and
lenses have Ford script on them, the turn signals are built in. The
mirrors are updated and have built in turn signals too. In back is
a set of teardrop LED tail lights and a third brake light below the
rear window. It rolls on a really nice set of polished Billet
Specialties wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires, of course much
fatter in back for that hot rod look.
INTERIOR: This is a first class interior! The entire inside is
upholstered including under the dash and behind the seat. There is
a lot of custom sculpture work on the door panels and headliner.
It's a very comfortable Wise Guys power seat. Down on the floor it
has premium Mercedes style square loop carpet with matching mats.
It also has leather boots around the chrome e-brake and the Hurst
5-speed shifter. The dash is clean and simple dash,the controls are
below out of site. A nice looking set of easy to read Classic
Instrument gauges includes a tachometer and it's showing 3,500
miles since the build. The tilt column has a beautiful deluxe
wheel. The stereo is overhead and the speakers are custom
integrated into the rear panel. 3 point retractable seatbelts were
installed.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Yes, it has a Ford motor! It's a crate 351W
making 365 HP with Roush heads, aluminum intake, a dual feed Holley
Street Avenger 670 carb, Mallory Unilite ignition and a set of
coated headers. It's dressed up in some very nicely custom painted
valve covers and air cleaner. The front of the engine has a
polished alternator and polished A/C compressor. The engine bay is
a nice smooth red finish.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment is done with the same
amount of detail as the interior! A switch inside the car operates
the power lift trunk. It's been boxed beautifully and upholstered.
The floor has the premium carpet. Behind the panel you'll find the
battery.
UNDERSIDE: Powder coated chassis, the frame is boxed and has
tubular supports. Up front it has a TCI independent suspension with
tubular control arms, swaybar, coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack
and pinion steering. In back is a four link system, also with
coilover adjustable gas shocks. It has disc brakes at all four of
the wheels and a working e-brake assembly. A very nicely bent
exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers and dumps was ceramic
coated black. It goes all the way out the back with flared polished
tips. It has a composite fuel tank from Tanks Inc, braided
stainless fuel lines and an inline chrome filter. Looking up at the
motor, it's clean and it has a high torque starter. A heavy duty
scatter shield covers a Center Force hydraulic clutch and it has a
crate 5-speed Richmond trans. The rebuilt 9 inch locker rear end
was powder coated. It is very clean and proper under this one!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: This is a well built hot rod with class!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
