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 fiberglass, which is a good thing if you love seamless flowing fenders and swoopy bodylines. Finish quality is quite good with plenty... of attention paid to getting it all looking smooth and straight. You see evidence of this quality everywhere from the fit of the iconic suicide doors, to the seamless presentation of the full two-tone pinstriping package. It all looks great against a bright white that really radiates in the sunshine. And as people come closer, they'll love the details that makes this a bit more modern. This includes the blacked-out grille, smooth front end (with indicators houses within the headlights,) frenched license plate, and the matte finish on the torque thrust wheels. There's plenty more custom touches when you open the door. The blue exterior pinstriping prepares you for the blue tweed inside. Plus, the custom door panels and headliner combine for a very nice uniform total package. Those cloth front buckets have the right modern bolstering to be long-haul comfortable. In fact, comfort is a central theme with great feature like power windows, an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input, 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. That's why you get a grippy sports steering wheel and a bright white dash that's dominated by clear VDO gauges. A motor like this deserves to be on display for everyone to see. There's a great shine on the valve covers, intake, tall funnel-shaped air topper, 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 and Edelbrock intake. Plus, the header-fed dual exhaust makes a fantastic rumble. But don't just listen to it; follow its path in the undercarriage photos. There you'll see the chassis that is painted to match the color theme inside and out. And with less than 12k miles on the whole build, it looks quite fresh. You're also going to spot great chassis upgrades like the Heidts Mustang II-style front suspension and a tubular control arm rear. Plus, with adjustable coilovers and disc brakes behind wheel, this street rod offers superior control. Add in the power steering and three-speed automatic transmission, and you have the recipe for a great cruising custom. This is the street machine that's been outfitted with great looks and the best features. So don't miss the Vicky with everything you want. Call today!!!
