Vehicle Description
Every time you read the stories from some of the best hot rod shows
in the country, you always come across one of those complete builds
that looks like it made no compromises and someone wrote a blank
check to create the ultimate vehicle. Now's your chance to be one
of those elite few. This 1937 Ford Minotti Coupe comes with a
unique exterior, luxury A/C interior, and its nitrous V8 - it's
time to be the envy of everyone.
It's hard not to get excited about a custom this slick. The
fiberglass body was expertly crafted by people who understand how
flow works. That's why the polished grille seamlessly transitions
to the headlights. The crease on the hood frames the two-piece
windshield. The hoodline creates a styling element that runs the
entire profile until it blends with the rear wheel arch. And the
shape of the rear helps form the taillight design. This is
thoughtfulness on display, and thoughtfulness is sexy. That's
especially true when you wrap it all in a black that has so much
luster that it they could eliminate most of the chrome for a very
modern appearance. But all great hot rods have brightwork, but this
one reserves it to show off its performance prowess. The suspension
elements are polished to be on display for the whole world, and we
love how the Billet Specialties alloys are staggered 15/17 inches
front/rear to always remind you where the power is coming from.
Inside is a level of comfort you'd want in a modern car. It starts
with the cashmere-colored leather bucket seats that have modern
bolstering for all-day comfort. The side panels, rear storage area,
headliner, and the grip on the Billet Specialties steering wheel
match this color for a true uniform feeling. Even the trunk has
been expertly upholstered. The dash looks fantastic with the wood
appearance that nicely coordinates with the exterior-matching slick
black. And we always like to see a full set of gauges done with
classic markings, so we can stay fully informed while still looking
vintage. A premium custom like this is not only supposed to look
great, but also offer you the best in comfort. That's why you have
great features like power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel,
and ice-cold R134a air conditioning.
This motor deserves to be on display for everyone to see. It starts
with the kind of investment in polished components that likely had
a budget rivaling some people's paintjobs. But don't let the
mesmerizing flash prevent you from seeing the substance underneath.
This is a 350 cubic-inch crate motor that has been upgraded with
quad Inglese dual barrel carburetors, a performance intake,
aluminum heads, serpentine belts, an aluminum radiator, and ceramic
coated headers that feed the thunderous dual exhaust. And if you
checked out the trunk, you'd also be ready to see the full nitrous
system that takes this hot rod into supercar territory. But more
than just a great motor, you'll need to view the undercarriage
photos to fully appreciate this build. There, you'll spot great
hardware like the strong TCI chassis, four-link front suspension,
four-link in back with coilovers and Currie 9-inch rear end. Add in
a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, modern General
Graber UHP tires, and four-wheel disc brakes, and this looker is
also an easy driver.
With less than 3,500 mile on the build, this full custom machine is
barely broken-in. But the only way to have all eyes on you this
weekend is if you call today!
