There's a reason 1934 Ford coupes are expensive: they're gorgeous and steel ones are quite rare. Building one yourself means doing it in fiberglass, or you can purchase this already built steel car with a great classic look and start having fun immediately. Doesn't seem like a very tough decision, does it?This 1934 Ford 5-window coupe definitely has The Look. At a glance, you can instantly spot a steel car, and it has a crispness and level of detail that's tough to get in any fiberglass reproduction. None of the body panels have been modified or chopped, giving you an old school look that still has everyone's hearts fluttering today. Even the door hinges are stock! The fenders are also steel and fit well and don't detract from the graceful curve of the running board along the lower edges of the bodywork and suicide-style doors are always cool. The handsome dark hunter green paint looks great (it's hard to capture in our studio, but it's a lovely shade of dark green) and they made the right decision when they left off the graphics and other distractions; you simply can't make a '34 Ford coupe look better than this. It retains all its wonderful original details, including the pointed grille, dipped bumpers, and cowl lights, which really help with the look. A few custom details like a deleted spare tire carrier and '39 Ford LED taillights ensure it won't be mistaken for a stocker, and it has a fantastic highly polished look that will draw appreciative glances from everyone who sees it.The tasteful tan interior uses Lexus-grade leather and makes the cozy coupe feel spacious, not claustrophobic like some chopped 3-windows we've seen. A wide bench that makes the most of the floor space is a big part of it, and even six-footers can get comfortable behind the wheel. A tilt column helps, and it's fitted with a leather-wrapped billet banjo wheel that looks like it was born there. Attractive gauges from Auto Meter give it a vintage look and the painted instrument panel ties together nicely with the wheel and Vintage Air HVAC vents. There's an AM/FM/CD stereo overhead and that crank in the center of the dash opens the windshield for great ventilation on the roll when you don't need the A/C. And since this car was built for cruising and ideally suited to road trips, there's also a bit of storage behind the front seats and a genuine rumble seat still living out back!Interestingly, this cool ford carries a GM powerplant, but not the one you'd expect. It's a 4.3 liter Vortec V6, which is a neat fit in the Ford's narrow engine bay. Considering that it's technically of a 350, well, it's easy to see why the choice was made and it makes plenty of power to make this rod feel fast no matter what. It's topped by a throttle body fuel injection system so it starts instantly and idles properly, and the long-tube headers and custom dual exhaust give it a very un-V6 soundtrack. A 4-speed automatic transmission feeds a modified rear end, and while everything was neatly finished and highly detailed, you can see that this one was built to drive, not sit on a trailer. Gorgeous Torque Thrust wheels keep the old-school hot rod look and allow it to wear staggered 205/70/15 front and 235/75/15 rear radials for the perfect stance.A turn-key rod that will still make jaws drop, this '34 Ford is the answer to the age-old question: steel or fiberglass? The choice is easy. Call today!
