This 1936 Cord 810 began its life as a Westchester sedan before becoming the subject of a custom build by a marque specialist in the 1990s that included the conversion of its bodywork to a two-door configuration and the installation of a 350ci small-block Chevrolet V8. Additional work following the seller’s acquisition 16 years ago included the installation of a General Motors 700R4 automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels through a 3.70:1 limited-slip Ford 9” rear end. It rides on a custom perimeter frame supported by Mustang II-style independent front suspension, triangulated four-link rear suspension, and adjustable coilover shock absorbers. Finished in black, the car also features power steering, power-assisted Wilwood cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes, staggered-width 15” wheels with Cord chrome covers, mechanically operated pop-up headlights, burgundy cloth upholstery, air conditioning, power windows, and an engine-turned dashboard with Classic Instruments gauges. This custom Cord 810 two-door Westchester is now offered in Costa Mesa, California, with a fitted indoor car cover and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The Cord 810 was introduced in late 1935 for the 1936 model year and returned for 1937 as the 812 before the Auburn Automobile Company ceased manufacture of the Cord marque. Gordon Buehrig-penned styling included a “coffin-nose” front profile with a louvered wraparound grille, a rear-hinged hood, hideaway headlights raised via dash-mounted hand cranks, concealed door hinges, and a locking fuel-filler door. Six body styles were offered during the Cord’s production including a pair of two-door convertibles and four four-door, fixed-roof variants.

This example’s fastback Westchester sedan coachwork was modified during the 1990s build to create a two-door, fixed roof configuration. Work included relocation of the B-pillars 6” rearward of their original positions, elimination of the rear doors, and elongation of the rear-hinged front doors to the 42” length utilized for the factory convertible variants. A perimeter frame was added underneath the unibody during the project. The body was refinished in black following the work, and a ceramic coating is said to have been applied in preparation for the sale, at which time the headlight cables were lubricated.

Burgundy-powder-coated Chevrolet Rally wheels measure 15×7” up front and 15×8″ at the rear and wear chrome Cord hubcaps and stainless-steel beauty rings. Michelin wide-whitewall tires from Diamond Back Tires measure 215R15 and 235R15. Power-assisted Wilwood Dynalite four-wheel disc brakes were added during a mechanical refresh performed by DF Metalworks in Huntington Beach, California, after the seller’s acquisition and feature four-piston calipers acting upon slotted, cross-drilled, and ventilated rotors at front and rear. The brake fluid was flushed in preparation for the sale.

The cabin is trimmed in burgundy cloth over folding front and fixed rear bench seats with matching upholstery over the door panels and rear side panels and a color-keyed headliner, carpeting, and lap belts. Modifications include Specialty Power Windows, Vintage Air air conditioning, and a Pioneer CD player. The driver-side power window unit was replaced in preparation for the sale.

The banjo-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in burgundy leather and sits on an Iditit tilt column ahead of a burgundy-painted dashboard. A Cord engine-turned panel has been retained and houses custom Classic Instruments instrumentation with burgundy dial faces including a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges monitoring fuel pressure, fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage. The six-digit odometer shows 8,300 miles, approximately 4k of which have been added under current ownership. The oil pressure and coolant temperature gauges are inaccurate.

The 350ci Chevrolet small-block V8 is said to be a crate engine that was supplied in 1995 and features an Edelbrock 1406 four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, HEI ignition, and custom valve covers. The cooling system was updated following the seller’s acquisition with a Stewart Stage 2 aluminum water pump, a Walker Super Cobra copper and brass radiator, and a SPAL 2600-cfm shrouded puller fan modulated by a Derale PWM control unit. An Odyssey 980 battery is located in the trunk and is equipped with a cutout switch. An oil change was performed using synthetic oil in preparation for the sale.

The driveline has been converted from front- to rear-wheel drive and features a Stage 2 GM 700R4 automatic transmission from Mad Dog Transmissions that was installed during the work by DF Metalworks after the seller’s acquisition of the car. Also fitted at that time was a solid axle featuring a J&S Gear Co. 3.70:1 Ford 9” rear end with a limited-slip differential. Suspension modifications during the project included the addition of a Mustang II-style front end that incorporates .204-wall DOM Spartan Rod Works upper and lower A-arms, dropped forged spindles, a chrome sway bar, Carrera adjustable coilover shock absorbers, and rack-and-pinion power steering. Rear suspension utilizes an Art Morrison triangulated four-link setup with a sway bar and Bilstein adjustable coilover shock absorbers.

The title lists the car’s identification number as FB1501, which corresponds with a Cord engine number but is stamped on the cowl tag as the serial number. FB1501 is also stamped on one of the frame rails, and the stamp is shown in the photo gallery below.
