The early Fords have been some of the most, if not the most, transformed cars in history. Originally a mild mannered family car, this iconic car has been a moonshine runner, a speed demon's best friend, a bank robbers getaway vehicle and has helped to create two genre's in the car world ' the Hot Rod and the Street Rod. The early Fords were loved by bootleggers all over the South for their speed and the size of the trunk.... They could haul lots of "shine" during the Prohibition and after, as the desire for moonshine didn't end with the end of Prohibition. Then during the later years of depression, notorious bank robbers Baby Face Nelson, John Dillinger and most famously Bonnie and Clyde drove and had guns a-blazing stand offs in 1934 Fords. The Hot Rod evolved out of a need for speed, a need for getting ones hands dirty and creating something faster. The Hot Rod really exploded after WWII when men had been trained to work on military vehicles and now wanted something to tinker with at home. They chose the early /mid 30'S Fords because they were light and modifying them was easy. Hot Rods and Hot Rod Racing were huge in California as many of the iconic photos of races in the dry lake beds of California will attest to. And they made Hollywood take notice too. Who could forget the movie "American Graffiti" with John Milner and his bright yellow 32 Ford Deuce Coupe? In the 1960's the Hot Rod with its exposed over-sized engine and raw open look gave way to the muscle car and "what's under the hoodâ€. This meant the evolution of the "Street Rodâ€, the tamer family friendly version. Or the "appearances can be deceiving" car. One thing is for certain, the evolution of these iconic cars has changed the automotive industry forever. * All Henry Ford Steel Car* Complete Frame-Off 5 Year Old Restoration* Over $200K Spent on Restoration* California Custom Frame* Deep Black PPG Exterior Paint* Black Leather Interior with Tan Ostrich Accent* LS7 Engine (Over 500 HP)* Doug Nash 5-Speed Transmission with Holley 3 Deuces* Polished Aluminum Heads and Intake* Aluminum Polished Radiator* Chrome Drop Headlight Bar* Electric Fan* Headers with Stainless Exhaust* Chrome Front Leaf Spring* 6" Fully Polished Drop Front End* 4 Bar Suspension Front & Rear with Rear Chrome Coil Overs* Halibrand Quick Change Rear End* Chrome Oil Pan* Fully Polished Radiator Shroud and Polished Water Pump* 4 Wheel Disc Brakes* 225/55/17 Rear with 195/55/15 Front Goodyear Tires* Boyd Coddington Aluminum Wheels* Classic International Gauges* New Wood Grain* 1932 Banjo Steering Wheel* Electric Wipers* Rumble Seat* Car is AMAZING FRONT TO REAR
