The 1933 Ford "Vicky" Victoria was all about adding some styling class to the Ford lineup. So to find a hot rod with a great coordinating paint package, A/C interior, and performance small block under the hood, means it's upholding the Ford tradition while providing you with a modern and comfortable custom build.The body is Classic Motor Carriages fiberglass, which is a good thing if you love seamless flowing fenders over wide wheels with swoopy bodylines (Henry Ford steel just can't compare in this category.) Finish quality is quite good with plenty of attention paid to straight seams, excellent alignment of those massive suicide-style doors, and a lot of time invested in sanding the surface to make it smooth. Canary Yellow was never on the Ford color pallet in the '30s, and so this bold one announces its custom appearance from blocks away. And as this Ford gets close they'll love the details like the mirror-like chrome grille, bumpers, and headlight surrounds. Plus all the great airbrushed pinstripe accents around the hood and rear are a must for the best hot rods. And the final touch is a set of iconic Cragar SS wheels that are staggered 14/15-inches front/rear to give this the perfect aggressive stance.You'll love opening the door in a large crowd, because the moment you do, all eyes will be in you. The bold yellow of the exterior returns to nicely coordinate with the interior, and the addition of black is always a cool color combo. The dash might tell you this is the "Widow's Bite" but the experience is pure comfort. The custom seating has plush cloth inserts; you have power windows; there's a great AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth connection; and you even get to stay cool while looking cool with R134a air conditioning. But like any great custom rod, this is a true driver's coupe at its heart. Your right hand will gravitate to the Lokar shifter, and the left one will love the wood grain steering wheel. And beyond that, the full set of classic-style VDO gauges and a large tach let you know there's something special under the hood even before you twist the key.A motor like this deserves to be on display for everyone to see. There's a great shine on the air grabber, valve covers, master cylinder, alternator, and so much more. But when you look beyond the style, there's the substance of a 350 cubic-inch small block that's been enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and MSD ignition. Not only will you enjoy the extra power of this V8, but also the rumble will be your favorite soundtrack. But this build is far more than just a powerful presence. The crate motor has less than 1,000 miles on it, so you know you can depend on the V8. It has an upgraded radiator with electric fan so your classic can stay cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C running. There are also features such as power steering, front disc brakes, rear sway bar, and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. Starting to get the full picture? While everyone just sees a cool classic car, you get to experience far more modern luxury from behind the wheel.Complete with build recipes, this is the hot rod that's comfortable enough for the morning commute. So to find something so complete and turnkey ready for fun is a deal that you know will be going fast. Call today!!!
