INTRODUCTION: This is an absolute first class build in every
respect! It's a real, all steel 1934 Ford, not a reproduction. It
was professionally built by high end builder Forsaken Rod & Custom.
With just over 1,100 miles since completion, the craftsmanship and
restoration quality are exceptional, the color combination is
stunning, and it looks every bit as good as it drives. From the
show quality details to the performance, this '34 Ford is the
complete package!
EXTERIOR: This is a real 1934 Ford- not a reproduction and it
retains its all steel body and fenders. The body is pristine, with
every inch straight and smooth. The black paint is like a mirror,
polished to such a deep, reflective finish it looks like you could
reach your arm right into it! It maintains that nostalgic '34 Ford
character with ribbed rubber running boards, big headlights with
Ford script lenses, a chrome grille topped with the Greyhound
ornament, original style door handles on the suicide doors,
stainless bumper brackets and polished bumpers. It also features a
chrome windshield frame and black canvas convertible top. Turn
signals are neatly incorporated into the headlights and factory
style taillights. Beautiful 15 inch red powder coated multi spoke
wheels with GoodYear that are fatter in back, giving this classic
Ford the perfect hot rod stance.
INTERIOR: Absolutely first class! This recently completed custom
interior was created by Steve Holcomb at Pro Auto Custom Interiors,
known for world class work. It's finished in glove soft genuine
Italian leather with nicely cushioned seats, black inserts and
silver buttons. The matching door panels are beautifully done, and
even the area behind the seat is completely upholstered. Premium
square loop carpet and matching mats finish the floor, while all
the black paint is as deep and glossy as the exterior. A full set
of classic style gauges includes a tachometer and clock. The neatly
integrated digital climate control lets you set the temperature and
forget about it. An $8,000 stereo system was just installed and
sounds incredible, with speakers cleverly incorporated into the
leather kick panels. Best of all, there's a 5-speed manual shifter
sticking out of the floor! A tilt column and beautiful steering
wheel complete the driver's area. There's also a surprising room
inside- I'm six feet tall and fit comfortably with no problem at
all.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Mechanical jewelry! Pop the hood and it looks
like a jewelry case packed with polished hardware. And yes, it's
Ford tough with Ford stuff- no Chevy motor here! Built by
Performance Machining, the 408 stroker started with a Ford 351
block that was deburred and smoothed. It features polished heads
and a custom made intake topped with a Tri-Power carburetor setup.
It's dressed to impress with tall chrome Ford Racing valve covers,
a chrome air cleaner and a fully polished Front Runner system,
including the brackets, serpentine pulleys, A/C compressor and
alternator. An oversized radiator with an electric fan and overflow
bottle keeps it running cool. It also features an electric choke,
electronic ignition and coated headers. It looks spectacular, but
it's certainly not just for show- this 408 runs strong and does its
job!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is finished to the same high standards
as the interior by Steve Holcomb. It's completely boxed and
upholstered in rich red Italian leather with black cloth inserts
and silver buttons. Premium square loop carpet covers the floor,
and even the underside of the trunk lid is beautifully upholstered.
The battery is neatly hidden behind one of the finished panels.
UNDERSIDE: This undercarriage is every bit as impressive as the
rest of the car. It rides on a Progressive chassis featuring a
boxed frame with tubular center supports for exceptional strength
and rigidity. Up front is a chrome Heidts Superide independent
suspension with tubular control arms, adjustable coilover gas
shocks, and rack-and-pinion steering. The rear is equipped with a
polished four-link system, tubular control arms, and adjustable
coilover shocks. A custom fabricated, polished 3 inch stainless
exhaust system runs underneath with Vibrant resonators and Kooks
mufflers. All new fuel system. The brake system has been completely
upgraded with front disc brakes featuring polished calipers, rear
drums, all new lines, and an electric emergency brake. Looking up
at the drivetrain, you'll find a chrome oil pan and a new Ford
Motorsports high-torque starter. A Tremec TKO 5-speed, and a custom
driveshaft leads back to a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.70 posi
gears. The chassis and frame are finished in high-gloss black,
while the clean metal underside is protected with durable black
chip guard coating. As a thoughtful touch, remote battery terminals
are conveniently mounted underneath for easy access.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: We bought this from a gentleman who loves building high
end custom cars. He bought this '34 already in amazing shape, then
spent tens of thousands making it even better. He's only selling
because his next project is a $400,000 custom truck. You're getting
a truly standout car-you won't pull up next to another one like
it!
