This ’33 Ford is a fiberglass-bodied Tudor sedan built around 25 years ago with a body sourced from Redneck Corporation and a boxed frame from Frames-N-Thangs, with a total cost estimated at ~$128k by the builder. It rides on a Jaguar-style front and rear suspension from Kugel Komponents and staggered Budnik wheels, and it has disc brakes and power steering. Power comes from a fuel-injected 5.7 LT4 V8 linked with a four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9″ with a Truetrac differential. The custom interior features air conditioning, Dakota Digital gauges, a tilt wheel, cruise control, ProCar bucket seats, and a Clarion CD stereo in a custom roof console. Acquired by its current owner in 2020, this ’33 street rod is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with records and a Florida title listing the car as a 1933 Ford.
The fiberglass body was sourced from Redneck Corporation and features a chopped top, full fenders, and running boards. The hood is a three-piece steel unit, and the grille insert was sourced from Jim Wrench. The headlight buckets are cast-aluminum reproductions with halogens, and out back there is a frenched third brake light and ’39-style LED taillights. The doors have poppers, and the body was painted Mitsubishi Patriot Red according to the build sheet.
The car rides on a custom boxed frame from Frames-N-Thangs. Both front and rear independent suspension were sourced from Kugel Komponents and included disc brakes. The front end has 2″ drop spindles and 450 lb-in chrome-plated springs, while the ball joints were sourced from a ’75 Vega.
The 16″ and 17″ wheels are from Budnik, while the steering rack is a modified power rack-and-pinion unit from an Omni. A power brake booster and stainless-steel brake lines were also used.
Paul Atkins Custom Interiors trimmed the ProCar Magnum front seats in parchment leather. Vintage Air climate control was installed along with sound/heat insulation and Wilton wool carpeting, and three-point seatbelts and power windows are provided for the front occupants.
The Clarion CD stereo is mounted in a console in the roof.
The Budnik steering is mounted on a tilt column with cruise control from Ididit. ~3,400 miles are on the Dakota Digital cluster.
Records indicate the Corvette 5.7-liter LT-4 V8 was purchased from Street & Performance as a crate motor. An LT-1 water pump and Lokar throttle cable were utilized along with headers from Street & Performance. The stainless-steel tank is a reproduction from Rock Valley, and the fuel lines are braided stainless-steel. The selling dealer tells us the oil was recently changed.
The 700R4 transmission was purchased from Phoenix Transmissions in Dallas, Texas, and it has a 2,400-rpm stall converter and a cooler. The Ford 9″ rear end is from Currie Enterprises and has a Detroit Truetrac differential.
