Uh oh – another bad boy just rolled in here! Staring straight at our ‘32 Revolver with its Inglese induction, it snorts fire, showing that its blown Mouse is more than up to challenging for showroom supremacy. The result of a six-year build, this car is killer in every sense of the word. Evil-looking in black, near flawless in its execution and as loud as is it brash this is an outlaw hot rod if I’ve ever seen one!

Start where you’re supposed to – at the power plant. That’s a seasoned 350 block stuffed to the blower hat with new parts. We’re talking a new steel crank, new rods, Keith Black pistons, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, roller rockers, a fat Crane cam, a CSI electric water pump – the works. March billet brackets hold the 130 amp GM alternator, Mallory supplied its billet small cap distributor and MSD provides the ignition box, spark plug wires and mighty starter motor. There’s a set of polished aluminum valve covers that match the air cleaner hat and breather cap, a Road Demon carb, Earl’s braded fuel lines, a billet fuel pressure regulator, and additional bling from the chromed oil pan and timing cover. Ceramic coated Roadster headers with bolt ons muffle the exhaust (sorta) and, oh yeah, there’s a massive Weiand polished 8-71 blower sitting under there! Sure, all those parts minus the blower would have almost been too much for the chassis (and sanity) but another couple hundred horsepower never hurts!

Originally there was a plain-Jane TH350 behind the mill, but that was quickly axed in favor of a World Class T5 5-speed manual. That’s right – now you have to figure out how to hang on with one hand while jamming a shifter with the other, left leg jamming down on a hydraulically operated clutch! Sound like your kind of mayhem? Me too! Rounding out the drive train is a built Ford 9” rear, cut down just for this ride and stuffed with 4.10s, suspended by a five link setup and coilovers. The front consists of tried and true street rod stuff with a flipped axle, Pro Shocks dampers, GM discs, braided brake lines and tight urethane bushings. The frame is chassis black while the bottom of the car shares its gloss with rest of the body. An RCI fuel cell sits out back, doubling as the trunk floor.

Pop the remotely operated doors open and climb inside. The smell of rich leather is intoxicating! The top of the dash is gloss black, the carpet is wool, and damn near every other surface is leather. Those seats don’t just look comfortable – they’re supple and soft in a mix of leather and microfiber fabric. They’re even heated! G-force Racing four point harnesses keep you held in while a Pioneer head unit sends its signals to a four channel Boss amp and on to four loud Boss speakers. There are plenty of switches to keep your fingers happy, an Ididit polished column topped with a billet and leather steering wheel let you set your favorite white knuckled position, Classic Instruments gauges in the dash and an Auto Meter tach and shift light on the column keep you informed – you’ll want to suck the eyeballs out of the back of your head and check ‘em every once in a while!

The trunk’s decked out in leather, from the sides to the top to the floor. The fuel fill for the cell is back here, and the battery box found itself covered in the same microfiber as the seat accents. There’s even a flamed, chromed fire extinguisher!

House of Kolor Jet Black covers the Outlaw (brand) 3” chopped body with a shade several steps darker than midnight, and it looks awesome. The flames on the body were laid down, then all of the pin striping was done by hand, with a brush – no prefab stuff here! Weld Pro Stars with Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R tires, 24×5×15 up front and 29×18×15 out back set a classic stance and give the chassis a fighting chance of harnessing the huffer up front. 5 3/4" tri bar headlamps with blue dots in the center are a classic touch with modern bulbs inside for efficient night lighting, and there are a handful of billet pieces such as the taillights and the rear view mirrors, but a ton of adornment isn’t what this ride’s all about. You don’t tack on attitude!

With just 435 miles since completion, this sinister ‘32 is a fresh ride, fully sorted and gorgeous. It’s the perfect ride for a twisted rodder, someone looking for a car that’s different than what’s in their neighbor’s garage, or one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse!Add caption

What happens when you take a ’23 Ford body, bolt it to a custom fabricated frame, drop in a dual-quad 383 stroker motor and pile on a list of mind blowing parts for good measure? You get this incredible custom T-Bucket which has been transformed into a wild, in-you-face head turner that instantly becomes the center of attention wherever it goes. Featuring a killer small block Chevrolet motor, a custom leather interior and a level of detail that requires multiple looks to fully comprehend, this stunning red Trike is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own the fastest, brightest and baddest thing on three wheels! If you’re the kind of enthusiast who likes to look good, win trophies and spin heads at a very high rate of speed, your hot rod chariot has arrived!

Professionally fabricated as a motorcycle designers personal pet project, this one-of-a-kind 1923 T-Bucket Trike required five years to complete and includes $65K worth of parts alone! The project began with a custom built Boyd Coddington Pro-Fab chassis which was equipped with a Harley Davidson Fatboy front end, a ladder bar rear suspension and chrome oversize coils. Once the undercarriage was bolted together and the FiberFab US cockpit and fenders were test fitted, a top-notch coat of Viper Red paint was evenly sprayed across the whole bike and buffed to a brilliant shine. When the vivid red completely cured, Crazy Horse Custom Paint out of Waxhaw, North Carolina was contracted to detail the smooth body with realistic flames and awesome looking sinister faces. The result is an outrageous show piece which is comfortable, fun, easy to operate and would be totally at home at any car or bike show in the world.

At the front of the trike, a polished telescopic fork holds a chrome Indian headlight and chrome Harley Davidson side lights above a 16 inch polished aluminum Fatboy wheel and 120/90 Metzler ME 880 tire. At the side of that polished wheel, a chrome covered disc brake system utilizes a chrome sleeved brake line and chrome caliper to squeeze a giant rotor; and above that polished wheel, chrome Harley Davidson bolt caps center a custom fabricated front sight over body-matched metal. Behind the front fork, chrome steering rods run across the top of a completely detailed small block Chevrolet engine to connect the interior mounted handle bars to the front wheel. And chrome externally mounted Sunpro gauges combine with a chrome shift light and chrome trimmed accent lights to add a little form and function. At the front of the cockpit, a smoked and custom etched windshield is bordered by a custom frame, chrome supports and a cool pair of chrome iron cross rearview mirrors. At the sides of the cockpit, diamond plate steps ride behind chambered and baffled ceramic coated side pipes that hang just in front of custom cut rear fenders which taper into gnarly looking flames; and at the back of the cockpit, a custom 2.5 inch chrome roll bar hangs an LED CHMSL above a small diamond plate clad storage bin and a polished 15 gallon Peterbilt fuel tank. Below that tank, polished 22 inch Star 277 “357 Killa” wheels spin 265/35 Nitto NT420 tires and body matched brake drums at the sides of a custom rear valence, chrome S&W Racing wheelie bars and a chrome trailer hitch. And if all that visual pop still isn’t enough to get you noticed by everyone this side of the Mississippi, the entire frame has been decked with 154 LEDS and neon under lighting for an unbeatable custom night time glow.

The heart of this awesome build is a mean sounding 383 cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 which utilizes an Eagle stroker kit, a roller cam and Manly rods to creates so much power that the owner had to add restrictor plates for the sake of streetability. At the top of the highly detailed motor, two chrome air cleaners ride on top of two Edelbrock 4-barrel Durashine carburetors which are bolted to a rare side-by-side chrome Edelbrock intake manifold. At the sides of that intake, flame branded aluminum valve covers ride above aluminum Edelbrock heads, polished aluminum wire looms and full length ceramic coated headers. At the front of the motor, a fresh V-belt spins chrome pulleys which are connected to a chrome alternator, a chrome water pump and a chrome fan; and at the back of the motor, an MSD ignition system sends power from two Optima gel cell batteries to a reliable points distributor that’s equipped with high performance MSD wires. Cooling is provided by a polished aluminum radiator which is equipped with a chrome electric fan and a polished aluminum bowtie radiator cap, and detailed with polished overflow tanks with Harley Davidson caps and a stainless steel shroud. Motivation is provided by a proven GM Turbo-Hydramatic 350 transmission which sends power from a 3200 RPM stall converter to a 1997 10 bolt S-10 rear end with mountain flattening 3.76 gears. For this impressive engine, ‘detailed’ is an understatement. There’s braided hoses everywhere, a chrome starter, a body-matched and detailed firewall and master cylinder, a fuel pressure gauge, a complete set of pointed bolt caps, and even bowtie decaled motor mounts.

Jump on the diamond plate steps and climb inside the cockpit of this cool ’23 trike where the themes of custom and comfort combine to create a simplistic and fun driving environment. The massaging Saddle leather bench seat is stitched around cool gator skin inserts and perfectly meets Saddle leather door panels which feature custom molded flames. Under the seat, an MP3 compatible CD player sends tunes through three Alpine speakers; and in front of the seat, a chrome lock out shifter props a collapsible cup holder and a TomTom navigation system above excellent looking tan carpet. At the base of the shifter, a large Sunpro tach sits next to flame branded pedals, and a chrome fire extinguisher hangs below a wood faced dash that is complete with stainless trim and white Sunpro gauges. In front of the driver, chrome ram’s horn handle bars hold a VDO speedometer below stainless rods which connect to the adjustable damped steering; and in front of the passenger, a small glove box, which has been fabricated from a slot machine coin tray, holds a split cigarette lighter power source. Rivaling the most creative custom built interiors on the market; this unique trike is a 100% road ready piece which features an unmatched level of detail and drivability.

Included with the sale of this awesome trike is a stack of restoration and maintenance receipts, build photos and two pull behind trailers. The first is a 16 foot single axle Hallmark which is 8 feet tall and 8.8 feet wide and equipped with a side door, a 3,000 pound ramp, new eight ply tires, electric brakes, and e-rail tie down system, theft deterrents, black and white linoleum tiles, a 100 volt converter and grip plates bolted to its floor. The second is a custom built, polished aluminum diamond plate piece which is designed to pull either luggage or a handicap scooter behind the trike, and along with the trike, is easily loaded into the Hallmark trailer by only one person.

From its trick handle bars to its chrome oil pan, this 1923 T-Bucket Trike is completely sorted show stopper that’s ready to hit the road today. With $65K in parts alone, a custom piece like this could never be duplicated for anywhere near our asking price; and when you factor in the time and labor put into the build, its significance becomes very clear. Don’t miss your chance to own a bad ass custom with amazing street prowess and awesome curb appeal!

Ford Coupe

1930
Ford Coupe

Description

In the face of modern technology which continues to blow our minds with OEM quality and amazing custom cars, there is still something to be said about authenticity. Sure, tons of companies create super nice fiberglass replicas of some of the coolest Detroit metal to ever roll across Route 66; but at the end of the day, they’re still just a copy of the real thing. Featured in the October 2010 issue of Street Rodder Magazine, this classic 1930 Ford coupe is a REAL DEAL, real steel street rod which combines the core strengths of its originality with a modern vision and top notch components. It is, by far, the nicest all steel street rod we’ve ever offered, and with its killer stroker motor, sophisticated suspension and completely custom interior, it’ll chew up replicas on the street just as easily as it does on the show field. Are you one of those discerning gearheads who wants the excellent driving experience of modern street rod technology AND the authenticity of a real antique car? This world class Ford coupe is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!

This hot coupes smooth and solid steel body began life as a run-of-the-mill 1930 Ford Model A that would stay in the hands of its original buyer for almost 76 years. When the new owner took possession, he promptly shipped it to Dragone Classic Motorcars in Bridgeport, Connecticut where it underwent a celebrity style restoration that totaled $96K in parts alone. Once the classic lines were laser straight, a spectacular coat of Mercedes-Benz Glasurit Dark Gray Metallic urethane was buried in a glossy and wet looking clearcoat shell and buffed to a dynamic shine. Today, five years and 2,600 hours of labor later, the car displays solid vertical panels and a perfectly aligned profile which looks absolutely fantastic under its chameleon paint. And with virtually no imperfections, it’s a banner show piece that celebrates both 82 years of carefully calculated care by serious car guys and the integrity of Ford’s high quality products.

Everything on this 1930 Ford is exceptionally well-done. It mixes just the right amount of pre-war charm with high quality 21st century street rod details to produce gawking fans and create a lasting impression. At the front of the car, body-matched frame horns hold a polished spreader, which is complete with LED turn signals, below a correct stainless grille, a chrome headlight bar and two great looking 1932 Ford King Bee SS headlights. Behind that grille, stainless brace bars parallel full length Brookville fenders; and a chrome trimmed Brookville cowl anchors a like-new tilt windshield between chrome rearview mirrors and a small metal visor. At the top of the car, a steel ribbed roof insert hangs dark smoked glass above a Brookville decklid and lower lid panel. And at the back of the car, a familiar billet aluminum tag bracket is centered between 1950 Pontiac blue dot tail lights and a second polished spreader bar. The profile of the car combines the clean and simple look that is typical of classic fenderless hot rods with a number of traditional touches which add both style and character. Correct chrome door handles and correct bear claw hinges are present on the doors, and stylish chrome running boards seamlessly bridge the original front and rear fenders. Overall, this classic Ford street rod is in outstanding physical condition; and its top notch build integrates the greatest attributes of both old and new into a single, unifying vision which is the product of some of the best design and construction techniques in the hobby.

Take a gander behind the original stainless grille and you’ll find out exactly where this Fords tradition ends and its muscle begins. Professionally built and dyno tuned by Smeding Performance in Rancho Cordova, California this coupes 383 cubic inch extreme stroker V8 creates a stout 450 horsepower and 470 lb./ft. of dust swirling torque! At the top of the engine, four Demon 98 series carburetors, which receive fuel through a braided fuel line, blue AN fittings, a fluid filled Holley fuel pressure gauge and a chrome Edelbrock mechanical fuel pump, prop trick Mooneyes finned air cleaners above a polished Barry Grant Quadra-Deuce induction. At the sides of that Barry Grant induction, polished Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, which have been fitted with 2.02 and 1.60 stainless valves and capped with finned and polished valve covers, sit above full floating hypereutectic 9.8 to 1 pistons and high strength 5140 forged steel connecting rods. Those rods are turned by a 4340 forged steel crank which has been micro polished to perfection, and those pistons create compression thanks to a custom ground hydraulic roller camshaft with a .510/.521 lift. Fire is supplied by an MSD Pro-Billet distributor which sends spark from an MSD Blaster SS coil and MSD 6A ignition system to Accel Extreme 9000 Ferro-Spiral wires. And cooling is provided by a Walker 32 style Z-series radiator which sends water past a Walker low profile electric fan and shroud to bright blue flex hose and a chrome water pump. At the front of the block, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system spins a trick 140 amp billet aluminum alternator; and at the sides of the block, Sanderson ceramic coated shorty headers send spent gases into a great sounding exhaust system. As with its fully detailed exterior panels, nothing was missed in the engine bay of this sharp ’30 Ford. The smooth and clean small block engine perfectly matches the car’s Mercedes gray fenders. And show worthy ancillary items such as aluminum red wire looms, chrome motor mounts, a billet overflow tank and a polished stainless firewall add a nice finished look.

Underneath this impressive car, a custom, completely polished independent front suspension and a completely polished four link rear suspension utilize adjustable coil overs at each corner and anti-roll bars at each end, to provide a thoroughly modern ride and razor sharp handling characteristics. At the center of that custom suspension, a fresh TCI Auto Street Fighter Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic, which is equipped with a TCI Auto 3000/3400 Street Fighter torque converter and a finned pan and flywheel cover, sends power to a Currie nine inch rear end which carries stout 31 spline axles and ground pounding 3.55 gears. All that excellent metal is bolted to a Total Cost Involved frame which is painted metallic blue and sandwiched between stainless hardware and fresh Bitchin floor pans. Quick stops are provided by a frame mounted Summit Racing vacuum booster which pushes fluid through stainless AN lines to polished Wilwood Hi-Tech four piston calipers and giant 12 inch rotors. And a killer soundtrack is provided by a 2.5 inch true dual exhaust system which runs from the coated shorty headers to stainless Magnaflow mufflers and mandrel bent side pipes. At the corners of the car, 15 inch Coker powder coated smoothies spin 6.70-15 front and 8.20-15 rear Firestone 2.25 whitewall tires around stainless trim rings and chrome lug nuts. And everything from this hot rod Ford’s C.W. Moss Oak reinforced floor pan to its chrome oil pan is exceptionally clean, completely detailed for show and ready to hit the road tomorrow.

Take a look inside the car and you’ll find a spectacular looking leather interior that was professionally installed by Dragone Classic Motorcars in Bridgeport, Connecticut. At the center of the car, a plush Wise Guys leather bench seat is firm, provides good support and features sturdy two-point seatbelts. And at the sides of the car, custom leather door panels, which are equipped with billet aluminum window cranks, billet aluminum door pulls, chrome door handles and integrated map pockets, hang between custom leather side panels. Below the seat, cool Mr. Horsepower floor mats ride next to a billet accelerator pedal, a chrome emergency brake handle and a stainless Gennie Commander Lo-stick shifter with a flame Lucite shift knob. And in front of the seat, the cars original body-matched dash hangs a full set of Classic Instruments Mooneyes gauges below stylish billet trim, a billet rearview mirror and a custom leather headliner. In front of the driver, a polished Mark IV steering wheel rides on a polished Ididit steering column; and behind the cockpit, a completely upholstered trunk integrates an RCI 15 gallon lightweight aluminum fuel cell behind a billet trimmed Optima battery and a Moroso master kill switch.

Included with the sale of this all metal Ford is a copy of the cars original title, all of its books and manuals, and a stack of build receipts which total $150K.

You really can’t ask for a better street rod than this 1930 Ford. With an unbeatable combination of authentic good looks and modern hot rod technology, it’s the perfect car for any enthusiast who wants a top-notch build without spending two years and six figures achieving it. If you’re in the market for an immaculate show stopper that features the best of everything, don’t let the opportunity to own this awesome, all steel coupe pass you by!
