For Sale: 1934 Ford Panther in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

We always dream about the labor of love that we'd build if cost was no object, but seldom does that ever become a reality. This 1934 Ford Panther is one of the select few fantasies that has jumped into real life. And with its triple 350 Chevy small blocks (yes, three!), custom chassis, and amazing flowing bodywork, this is your chance at a one-of-a-kind that's build to impress.


Before we get into the 24-cylinder powerplant, take a moment to appreciate all the work that has gone into containing it. After all, there is an amazing amount of elegance that was custom built into a roadster that has a yacht-like motor. The long flowing fenders give this the appeal of the Mercedes 540K, and the grille reminds us of the Jaguar SS100 (likely the inspiration for the Panther moniker.) But the rear end is where the heart of this custom car's name is - it's the iconic slope of a 1934 Ford roadster. All these international design cues merge together in a custom presentation that is both striking and memorable. It also helps that the burgundy is an amazing application that will change tones in the sunlight. And as people get closer, they will spot more and more of the details that come from Larry Hook's custom pinstripe artistry. And because this one is truly going for timeless elegance, it is capped off with wire wheels.


Inside the red leather is just the right sophisticated tone against the exterior burgundy to again remind us of the best from Europe. And this is done with a very purposeful feeling. After all, the burgundy on the dash has a red pinstripe to match the seats, door panels, and carpeting. Plus, a car like this has plenty of gauges, and each has the same red needles. It's a truly thoughtful build. And while you will enjoy the woodgrain steering wheel and golden gearstick, there is a premium AM/FM/cassette stereo and heater to make sure that your passenger is always comfortable, too.


Revealing the monster motor is a stunning presentation. The custom aluminum hood is operated by a series of pneumatic cylinders and electric motors to create a show all on its own just by how the smoothly it opens and closes. And once revealed, you might never get the crowds to leave because the sight of three Chevy 350 small block V8s is better than taking a car guy to Disneyland. But what makes this truly amazing is the amount of thought that has going into this build. You have a custom air topper that looks like an etched work of art as it unites the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors. Plus, Edelbrock intakes, exhausts, and custom Panther valve covers are all polished to an award-worthy shine. There are just so many intricate pieces to go over that we don't have the space to mention it all, but give us a call, and we'll happily tell you all the details. Just know that this beautiful beast was built to be a true runner, and in fact, the middle V8's main role is to aid in cooling. More than just a strong running motor(s) the suspension was built for show and go, too. It starts with a custom square tube chassis that will have you keeping mirrors under this at the events. After all, crowds are going to want to see the bold paint, shiny chrome, and pinstriping that makes this undercarriage look better than some people's car bodies! The strength of this custom chassis is combined with a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, fully independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. See what we mean about it being a thoughtful build that you can drive? So this Panther might appear like a sleek exotic animal, but you are quite able to tame it.
