This five-window coupe was built using a 1934 Henry Ford steel body that was acquired by the seller’s father in the 1960s, and it was built into a hot rod in the early 2000s. The body was fitted with fiberglass fenders and repainted red, and the interior was redone with black upholstery. The 239ci flathead V8 was rebuilt with a Mercury crankshaft, a “3/4 race” camshaft, adjustable lifters, and Edelbrock finned aluminum heads, and it was then topped by a 3-71 supercharger and a pair of reproduction Stromberg 97s. A five-speed manual transmission and newer Ford rear end were retrofitted, and it rides on body-color steel wheels with staggered tires and has hydraulic drum brakes. Inherited by the seller in 2022, this hot rod is now offered with and a clean Iowa title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1934 Ford.

The seller tells us their father acquired the 1934 Ford in the 1960s, and it was disassembled and stored until the early 2000s. At that time, the seller’s father acquired fiberglass fenders and rebuilt the car as it sits today. A nerf bar was used up front, and the car retains a vinyl roof.

Staggered tires are mounted on the body-color 14″ front and 15″ rear steel wheels, and ’50s-era hydraulic brakes were used. The steering box is believed to be a Chevrolet pickup unit. The front end uses a reverse-eye transverse leaf spring and unsplit wishbones, and out back a parallel leaf setup with a more modern Ford rear end was fitted.

The interior was redone with black upholstery and red-painted metal surfaces, and a Jensen CD stereo was mounted in the dashboard. The trio of knobs to the driver’s right control the headlights, choke, and throttle.

A four-spoke wheel and custom piston-style shifter were fitted along with a tachometer and modern gauges. The seller estimates around 8k miles have been driven since completion of the build.
