Vehicle Description
There's a reason 1934 Ford coupes are expensive: they're gorgeous
and steel ones are quite rare. Building one yourself means doing it
in fiberglass, or you can purchase this already built steel car
with a great classic look and start having fun immediately. Doesn't
seem like a very tough decision, does it?
This 1934 Ford 5-window coupe definitely has The Look. At a glance,
you can instantly spot a steel car, and it has a crispness and
level of detail that's tough to get in any fiberglass reproduction.
None of the body panels have been modified or chopped, giving you
an old school look that still has everyone's hearts fluttering
today. Even the door hinges are stock! The fenders are also steel
and fit well and don't detract from the graceful curve of the
running board along the lower edges of the bodywork and
suicide-style doors are always cool. The handsome dark hunter green
paint looks great (it's hard to capture in our studio, but it's a
lovely shade of dark green) and they made the right decision when
they left off the graphics and other distractions; you simply can't
make a '34 Ford coupe look better than this. It retains all its
wonderful original details, including the pointed grille, dipped
bumpers, and cowl lights, which really help with the look. A few
custom details like a deleted spare tire carrier and '39 Ford LED
taillights ensure it won't be mistaken for a stocker, and it has a
fantastic highly polished look that will draw appreciative glances
from everyone who sees it.
The tasteful tan interior uses Lexus-grade leather and makes the
cozy coupe feel spacious, not claustrophobic like some chopped
3-windows we've seen. A wide bench that makes the most of the floor
space is a big part of it, and even six-footers can get comfortable
behind the wheel. A tilt column helps, and it's fitted with a
leather-wrapped billet banjo wheel that looks like it was born
there. Attractive gauges from Auto Meter give it a vintage look and
the painted instrument panel ties together nicely with the wheel
and Vintage Air HVAC vents. There's an AM/FM/CD stereo overhead and
that crank in the center of the dash opens the windshield for great
ventilation on the roll when you don't need the A/C. And since this
car was built for cruising and ideally suited to road trips,
there's also a bit of storage behind the front seats and a genuine
rumble seat still living out back!
Interestingly, this cool ford carries a GM powerplant, but not the
one you'd expect. It's a 4.3 liter Vortec V6, which is a neat fit
in the Ford's narrow engine bay. Considering that it's technically
� of a 350, well, it's easy to see why the choice was made and it
makes plenty of power to make this rod feel fast no matter what.
It's topped by a throttle body fuel injection system so it starts
instantly and idles properly, and the long-tube headers and custom
dual exhaust give it a very un-V6 soundtrack. A 4-speed automatic
transmission feeds a modified rear end, and while everything was
neatly finished and highly detailed, you can see that this one was
built to drive, not sit on a trailer. Gorgeous Torque Thrust wheels
keep the old-school hot rod look and allow it to wear staggered
205/70/15 front and 235/75/15 rear radials for the perfect
stance.
A turn-key rod that will still make jaws drop, this '34 Ford is the
answer to the age-old question: steel or fiberglass? The choice is
easy. Call today!
