This cool 34 Ford was built by North Texas Rod and Custom in a 60's
Hot Rod style that really looks great. Don't let that flat Black
paint fool you into thinking it is a Rat Rod because despite having
that vintage Hot Rod feel everything was extremely well done. Since
being completed the car has only been driven 700 miles to break in
the motor and work out any kinks so by purchasing it you are
getting a freshly built car. The Outlaw body and chassis are all in
great shape with no issues. Outlaw is one of the top manufacturers
for these bodies and have a great reputation. The body has been
reinforced with steel and painted in Flat Black catalyzed enamel.
Custom 34 graphics were hand painted on the side to have a faded
sign lettering look which suits the car well along with the custom
vintage correct pinstriping. The 3 piece hood incorporates custom
louvers that have also been striped as well. The car has the
"California" Pete and Jake front/rear bumpers which fit with the
overall look perfectly. The body has been shaved of any handles so
remote door poppers are now used to gain access to the interior
through the suicide doors. 1938 Ford LED taillights have been added
in the rear with circle combination headlights with turn signals up
front. It also features a custom front grill. The car has a great
stance and rides around on reverse chrome wheels with baby moon hub
caps which again are perfect for this type of car. This wasn't a
car that was just thrown together with random parts. Every piece
was thought out and put in place as a shout out back to the 60's
when Hot Rodders were building these custom Fords.
Powering the car is a completely rebuilt 350 Chevrolet V8 motor
paired with a Turbo 350 transmission with remote oil cooler. The
motor has been built up with a powder coated Edelbrock intake, a
600 cfm carburetor, HEI distributor, Weiand valve covers, chrome
alternator, and chrome AC compressor. The motor runs very well with
no issues. The engine compartment has a great look with a custom
engine turned firewall and vintage auto decals. In back the car has
a Ford 8" rear end with 3:55 ring and pinion. Other nice
drivetrain/suspension features include the Flowmaster mufflers, a
front sway bar, front disc brakes, 4" drop straight axle, hidden
battery cut off switch, and remote battery terminals.
The interior is done in a very nice Red upholstery and is all tuck
and roll. A custom center console was built for the car and
provides additional storage space while housing the Lokar shifter,
AC controls, and power window switches. It also has an overhead
console which is where you will find the Pioneer AM/FM/CD player.
The split bench seat is very comfortable and 3 point seat belts
were installed which is a nice safety feature you don't see in most
street rods. The dash features a custom "Muroc" instrument panel
with Stewart Warner gauges. Muroc refers to the old Muroc dry lake
that was a popular spot for racing back in the day and is where the
engine turned bezels started to become a popular look. Other
vintage hot rodders will pick up on a lot of these features and
instantly know the owner wasn't just copying the look out of a
catalogue but recreating the cars he had in the past. In front of
the driver is a chrome tilt column topped off with a Banjo steering
wheel. The trunk of the car has been upholstered just as well and
features a custom built/painted to match battery box.
This is a great running/driving car that also has a look that gets
a lot of appreciation at shows. If you could somehow transport it
back to the 60's it would fit right in. Plus, the car is basically
brand new so take advantage of someone else's hard work and time.
You couldn't build the car for our asking price so get it while
it's still available!
