1934 Ford Coupe Street Rod Probuilt 400 AC All power

1934 Ford Other

DUAL 4BBL, 4 DISCS, A/C

If you're going to build a hot rod, going subtle probably isn't the first thing on your mind. With 3800 miles on the build, this 1934 Ford 3-window coupe is all about getting attention, but it's also the rare rod that's got the horsepower and engineering behind it to be insanely fast and completely safe.

Finished in 2009, this spectacular Ford combines a vintage hi-boy look with some modern tech to make one of the most radical yet civilized rods we've experienced. The fiberglass body was completely worked over to make it stand out and then every inch was covered in brilliant custom Tangelo Pearl paint that seems to glow like it's radioactive. Traditional-looking flames lick across the doors and towards the back of the car and everything has been shaved: door handles, hinges, cowl lights, everything. There might be some confusion when folks first see this one, because there's a '32 grille shell up front, flanked by a pair of big commercial-style headlights, but you can't argue with the look. The chopped roof and aggressive rake make this one look fast just sitting still, and the detailing makes it stand out once it's parked. Note the simple taillights out back, the flush-mounted rear deck, and the beautiful panel alignment. This is a really nice rod.

The interior is upscale with cinnamon leather, tan accents, and a few whimsical touches. The buckets are comfortable for long cruises and there's plenty of legroom in the sleek coupe. The purple-rimmed steering wheel has an old-school look and adds a flash of contrast that actually works rather well, and there's a full set of Auto Meter dials arrayed across the dash. Most of the secondary controls are in an overhead console and it's all race-grade hardware, including the nitrous setup that is to be used at your own risk, because this sucker's already bloody fast. The door panels are beautifully sculpted and accented with billet hardware. Comfort upgrades include ice cold A/C, power windows, and remote door openers with hidden back-ups that we'll refrain from mentioning here for obvious reasons. The trunk is neatly upholstered with matching tan carpets and that's one heck of a big, blue bottle!

The engine is a 1974 vintage 400 cubic inch small block V8 that was built for combat. It's bored .060 oversize and filled with a Scat superlight forged crank, H-beam rods, and flat-top pistons, so the bottom end is plenty stout. There's a Comp Cams solid-lifter camshaft, so it definitely has that hot rod sound and there are dual Demon 4-barrel carburetors up top on a tunnel ram intake manifold. It's street friendly with a 10.83:1 compression ratio, although those gorgeous Sanderson headers make one heck of a spectacular soundtrack. The transmission is a reverse manual TH350 3-speed automatic with a trans brake, which maybe you'll need if you use the 150 horsepower shot of nitrous. The front suspension is fully chromed and everything under the car was beautifully detailed to match the bodywork. There's a disc brake at all four corners and it sure looks like every component was built to be admired, because it's been painted or plated and shows almost zero signs of use. Out back, a beefy 9-inch Ford rear end with 3.75 gears inside hangs on a custom 4-link suspension with coil-overs and the whole assembly has been reinforced for both performance and looks. Beautiful Billet Specialties wheels are fitted with a traditional-looking big-n-little tire combination, with those rears measuring 15-inches wide!

It has a couple of small rock chips as shown in pics. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping.

I have had a lot of questions in regards to the condition of the car. It has 3 small rock ships the size of a pin head. 1 small scratch on bottom of door about half inch long (Lower corner of driver door). Tires are from original build so they have 3800 miles. Interior is in great shape with very little wear on carpet. It was built in 2009 and has been driven. It is not a "perfect car" however pretty darn close as you can tell in pics. Please come view the car at anytime.
