Ground Up Built 3 Window Coupe 350 V8 Automatic OD Ford 9in Leather A/C

Despite being best-known for their classic good looks and pure American swagger, 1930s Fords were the hot rod of choice for many a young gearhead who had a thirst for power and a need for speed. Today, spectacular blue oval resto-mods are much more common than their decades-built stature would lead you to believe. That means, to really turn heads, enthusiasts need unique cars that are exceptionally well-done. A fitting example would be this impressive 3-window. Mixing a hot rodded small block with substantial drivetrain upgrades and a comfortable custom interior, this well-built Ford is a heck of a lot more fun than a restored-to-original car. And if you're looking for a great combination of timeless style and modern performance, it's a choice classic that simply can't be beat!

BRILLIANT AESTHETICS

This awesome Ford's smooth and solid body began life as high quality Ronson fiberglass that was carefully sculpted into some of the coolest automotive curves to ever leave Dearborn, Michigan. During a detailed build that's seen casual enjoyment since its completion, that rugged resin was layered in a cool combination of green and silver 2-stage. At the front of that pigment, a glass shell centers a billet grille between a steel hood, amber parking lamps and stainless-trimmed headlights. Those casings reflect stylish louvers, which follow slick glass running boards through shaved suicide doors. Above those doors, a short greenhouse hangs a small wiper between polished mirrors. And behind that glass, a shaved trunk shades a billet fuel filler between polished tailpipes and stainless-trimmed tear drop tail lamps.

PROVEN POWER

Great looks are only part of this roadster's appeal: it also does a very good job of going really fast and making lots of awesome noise! Check the car's billet-trimmed engine bay and you'll find a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet small block that churns big power into ample torque. At the top of that hearty mill, a trick Edelbrock air cleaner funnels wind into a bright Edelbrock carburetor, which is seated on a polished Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. That intake feeds aluminum heads, which balance a polished Edelbrock cap on polished Edelbrock valve covers. At the back of those covers, a hot ProComp distributor sparks loomed Taylor wires, which slink around coated block hugger headers. At the front of those tubes, billet pulleys spin a polished alternator opposite a polished AC compressor. And at the front of those ancillaries, a beefy Walker radiator makes excellent use of a big puller fan.

EXCELLENT CRUISING

Every good street rod has a solid foundation. Flip this Ford upside down and you'll find a roster of mechanical improvements that mix classic looks with modern mobility. A trusted 700R4 4-speed spins a requisite Ford 9-inch that's finished with mild, 2.73 gears. That smooth drivetrain pushes a thoroughly massaged chassis, which follows tubular control arms with two Viking coil-overs and two QA-1 coil-overs. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are provided by four power-assisted discs. There's a throaty exhaust system that makes excellent use of bold Magnaflow mufflers. And everything rides Billet Specialties blades, which turn 195/60R15 Toyo Extensa A/S in front of 225/70R15 Toyo Extensa A/S.

COOL COMFORT

Pop the doors and you'll find a custom leather interior that's warm and welcoming. Modern bucket seats surf rich carpet while a small console stacks chrome power window switches behind a long Lokar shifter. In front of those seats, a billet-trimmed dash lights Omega Kustom instrumentation beside Vintage Air climate control. The driver strolls the boulevard through a polished Lecarra steering wheel, which spins a leather-wrapped rim around a polished, tilting column. And the beats keep bumpin' thanks to a roof-mounted Sony head unit and roof-mounted Kicker speakers.

Sure, there are a lot of '30s Fords on the market. But how many have been massaged to this level of drivability and appeal? Mixing a high-quality build with impressive power, custom upholstery and spectacular aesthetics, this coupe is the kind of car that recruits fans wherever it goes! If you're looking for an exceptionally nice cruiser that's twice as much fun and twice as reliable as an all-original roller, you're looking at your next classic!
