Vehicle Description
This 1939 Ford Deluxe 5-window coupe is a sought-after classic. Not
just an iconic design wrapped in modern metallic paint, it has a
more modern suspension, upgraded A/C interior, and a fuel-injected
V8 heart.
If you were thinking about running moonshine in this one, think
again. The extended trunks of these cars were a favorite of
liquor-running outlaws, but in this case, the once inconspicuous
styling is now long gone. Modern Dark Green Metallic paint has
plenty of clearcoat to make sure it shines brightly on this super
straight body. Plus, the chrome bumpers, sweeping side trim and the
standout Halibrand wheels are the kind of feature that never slip
away unnoticed. By 1941, Fords would carry a softer design language
with a more rounded front end and less pronounced fenders. So, this
aggressively sharp-nosed coupe has always been the perfect one to
get the hot rod treatment. In fact, the demand is so high for these
coupes that there are now fiberglass re-creations out there. That
makes us happy to say this an original, steel bodied, 1939 that
received a thorough restoration and all the right upgrades.
Inside it feels like no expense was spared to give this
businessman's coupe plenty of real modern conveniences. The single
bench seat up front was upgraded to two modern leather buckets, but
those who need a kind of drive-in closeness to the passenger could
utilize rear bench (a rarity in business coupes.) The driver gets a
highly stylized chrome and wood steering wheel with the Ford V8
logo prominently in the center. Beyond that, a full set of SW
gauges have been expertly added to the dash so you'll think a tach
was in there from day one. Instead of a modern radio being added in
to ruin the classic feel of the dash, there's a hookup in the trunk
for your modern music players that will directly connect to the
amplified stereo system. Even the air conditioning controls have a
vintage appearance, and it runs modern R134a to blow ice cold.
Under the hood, the original Ford flathead V8 was swapped out for
something with substantially more power and turn key reliability.
You're looking at a fuel-injected GM Performance Ram Jet 350. This
crate motor is known for offering plenty of power, and modern
reliability... and that's exactly how you should view this custom
coupe. Another upgrage example is the 700R4 four-speed
transmission. It's stout enough to handle all the extra power, and
the overdrive gear makes it an easy highway cruiser. Add in an
upgrad to an independent front suspension with tubular A-arms,
front disc brakes, and power steering and you have the ultimate
driver. Now you can see how this is a great power package that's
also easy enough to drive on the morning commute.
This is a coupe that could have been a moonshiner back in the day,
but survived to be a creature-comfort hot rod. Your own legend
begins here, but you should act fast. We know these cars of this
quality don't stay under our showroom lights long. Call now!!
