This 1936 Ford five-window coupe was built by Jesse James and West Coast Choppers in the early 2000s. It is finished in metallic purple over black and purple leather and powered by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a chopped roof, Nash front grille, custom-fabricated hood, flamethrower exhaust, Pete and Jakes front end, front disc brakes, rear air suspension, custom airbrushing, and 1200-watt stereo system. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, this chopped five-window coupe is now offered with toy versions of the car and a clean Arizona title.
Modifications to the steel bodywork include an 8″ chop, a custom-fabricated hood and hood sides, a Nash front grille, Bugatti-style taillights, and shaved handles and trim. The metallic purple paint was applied at Hot Rods by Boyd and features a metal flake roof section. The doors and trunk lid are opened with electric poppers, and a flamethrower exhaust system is installed. Video of the flamethrower in use can be viewed in the gallery.
Steel 15″ wheels are paint-matched to the body and mounted with 165-series BFGoodrich wide whitewall tires. The car is equipped with a Pete and Jakes dropped-axle disc-brake front end, split wishbones, and a rear air suspension.
The cabin is upholstered in black and purple tuck-and-roll leather with purple carpets. Amenities include a fore/aft-adjustable bench seat, airbrushed snake artwork, a floor-mounted shifter, power windows, a pop-out windshield, West Coast Choppers branding, and a custom stereo consisting of a JVC CD player, a 1200-watt Audiobahn amplifier, two subwoofers, and twelve cabin speakers.
The steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 440 miles.
The air suspension tank and compressor are mounted in the trunk along with the battery.
The 350ci Chevrolet V8 is equipped with a custom-painted air cleaner housing.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. Additional underside photos can be viewed in the gallery.
Various toy versions of the car are included in the sale.
The car is titled in Arizona using the Assigned Identification Number AZ364610.
