1936 Ford Coupe
The Model 48 was put out by Ford in 1935 as a replacement for the popular V8 powered Model 40a. These received a large redesign and would continue to be refreshed annually until 1941. The combination of price, practicality, and looks set Ford far ahead Chevrolet for the top sales in their first year. Ford definitely ruled this decade, even today, as the Fords of the 30's are a go to for street rodding over other manufacturers. This nice Model 68 coupe is a 5 window .....
version and is all factory steel painted in a Dark Red. Nice Gold pinstriping wraps the entire car accenting the bodylines nicely. It wears its original front/rear bumpers which are nicely chromed. It has a lot of the stock style trim as well with the V8 on the nose. It rides on matching steel wheels with beauty rings, Ford hubcaps and new Hankook tires.
The drivetrain of the car has all been redone and it is powered by a Chevy 350 V8. The motor runs well and is fitted with Edelbrock chrome valve covers, a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, chrome alternator, and a 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor. The transmission is a Turbo 400 automatic that sends power back to the 12 bolt rear end. A Mustang II front end has been added which also brought along power front disc brakes. The car runs smoothly and sounds good through the dual exhaust with chrome tips out of the rear.
Inside the car it has nice Gray upholstery with a bench seat. The carpeting is in good condition and on the floor is a Hurst t-handle shifter. The dash is all nicely painted and in addition to the original gauge it has added VDO gauges for fuel, amp, oil, and temperature gauges. Under the dash of the car an aftermarket Dual AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth/Aux stereo system has been installed and sounds great. The trunk of the car is carpeted and extends forward to behind the seat so it has a ton of storage space. The battery has been relocated to the trunk and has a nice custom cover. On the underside of the deck lid it has been upholstered and has a custom "V8" recessed in place.
This is a neat classic that is being offered up at a very reasonable price. Pick it up while it is still available!
