Ford 3-Window Coupe Window Coupe 350 V8 1937
General description :
MINOTTI BODY, BUILT 350, INGLESE INTAKE W/ 4 2 BBLS, NITROUS, TCI, 4 LINK, A/C!!
Every time you read the stories from some of the best hot rod shows in the country, you always come across one of those complete builds that looks like it made no compromises and someone wrote a blank check to create the ultimate vehicle. Now's your chance to be one of those elite few. This 1937 Ford Minotti Coupe comes with a unique exterior, luxury A/C interior, and its nitrous V8 - it's time to be the envy of everyone.
It's hard not to get excited about a custom this slick. The fiberglass body was expertly crafted by people who understand how flow works. That's why the polished grille seamlessly transitions to the headlights. The crease on the hood frames the two-piece windshield. The hoodline creates a styling element that runs the entire profile until it blends with the rear wheel arch. And the shape of the rear helps form the taillight design. This is thoughtfulness on display, and thoughtfulness is sexy. That's especially true when you wrap it all in a black that has so much luster that it they could eliminate most of the chrome for a very modern appearance. But all great hot rods have brightwork, but this one reserves it to show off its performance prowess. The suspension elements are polished to be on display for the whole world, and we love how the Billet Specialties alloys are staggered 15/17 inches front/rear to always remind you where the power is coming from.
Inside is a level of comfort you'd want in a modern car. It starts with the cashmere-colored leather bucket seats that have modern bolstering for all-day comfort. The side panels, rear storage area, headliner, and the grip on the Billet Specialties steering wheel match this color for a true uniform feeling. Even the trunk has been expertly upholstered. The dash looks fantastic with the wood appearance that nicely coordinates with the exterior-matching slick black. And we always like to see a full set of gauges done with classic markings, so we can stay fully informed while still looking vintage. A premium custom like this is not only supposed to look great, but also offer you the best in comfort. That's why you have great features like power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, and ice-cold R134a air conditioning.
This motor deserves to be on display for everyone to see. It starts with the kind of investment in polished components that likely had a budget rivaling some people's paintjobs. But don't let the mesmerizing flash prevent you from seeing the substance underneath. This is a 350 cubic-inch crate motor that has been upgraded with quad Inglese dual barrel carburetors, a performance intake, aluminum heads, serpentine belts, an aluminum radiator, and ceramic coated headers that feed the thunderous dual exhaust. And if you checked out the trunk, you'd also be ready to see the full nitrous system that takes this hot rod into supercar territory. But more than just a great motor, you'll need to view the undercarriage photos to fully appreciate this build. There, you'll spot great hardware like the strong TCI chassis, four-link front suspension, four-link in back with coilovers and Currie 9-inch rear end. Add in a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, modern General Graber UHP tires, and four-wheel disc brakes, and this looker is also an easy driver.
With less than 3,500 mile on the build, this full custom machine is barely broken-in. But the only way to have all eyes on you this weekend is if you call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
