Ford 5-Window Coupe 350 V8 1931

General description : 1931 Ford 5 Window Coupe After Ford dominated the market with the Model T for 18 years sales began to trend downward as other manufacturers began to catch up with Ford's mass production system.  As these other manufacturers started to catch up suddenly items considered to be luxury features were becoming the new standard and Ford needed to continue to move with the times before they were surpassed.  The answer...the Model A.  It proved to be a good move for Ford because after being designed in late 1927 they hit the one million sold mark by early 1929 and later that same year doubled that by hitting two million.  There is no telling how many Model As are still around today and the production of fiberglass copies makes that even tougher to determine.  Due to this it is clear why "is it steel?" is undoubtedly the most common question we get on cars of this vintage.  The 1931 5 Window Coupe you see here is one of those steel cars but has been fitted with fiberglass fenders.  It is pretty neat to look at a car like this knowing that body was produced almost 90 years ago and not only survived but is still on a functional, driving, show car.  This car was built in the resto mod style and although the exterior looks somewhat traditional the guts have been modernized with todays improved mechanics and luxury.  The Red paint is in good condition and has a really nice finish.  All of the glass is good and it still has the correct pop out windshield.  It has the round chrome headlights with custom LED taillights in the rear.  The original style stainless radiator housing has been accented with some Red for a unique look and is topped off by the famous flying Quail hood ornament that was the result of hundreds of drawings by Ford and his team.  In contrast to that vintage original style the car is now fitted with custom aluminum wheels that are considerable larger than the originals and let you know that the car is probably packing a bit more heat under the hood than that old four cylinder. Open up the louvered four piece hood and you will now find a nicely built 350 V8 motor that runs great.  It features an Edelbrock intake, Weber carburetor, chrome alternator, polished AC compressor, Mallory distributor, aftermarket coil, MSD wires, and all braided lines.  The motor is very show worthy and combined with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission sending power back to a Corvette rear end.  The car is a nice driver especially after incorporating the modern disc brakes and rack and pinion steering system.  A ton of polished and chrome components were used throughout the build so the undercarriage on the car looks nice as well.  The interior is all custom and done in Red leather which is in great condition.  It has aftermarket dual bucket seats and matching lap belts.  From the carpet to the door panels and headliner everything really has that freshly done look with no rips/tears/stains.  The upper part of the dash is painted to match the body but the middle section for the Classic Instrument gauges is a custom polished piece that really looks good.  Then under that a lower section was built to give it a clean look, house the middle AC vent and to route the polished tilt column.  Music is provided via the aftermarket stereo that is tucked away in the center section of the headliner along with a dome light.  The trunk of the car is where you will find the gas tank and it has all been redone in Red leather as well.  This is also where you will find a battery cutoff and the relocated Optima battery. This classic could be yours for $34,900.00!
