This 1934 Coupe appears to have been a tan car (as visible on the firewall) and the body was painted black in the 40’s or 50’s with a paint brush, giving it a very cool, worn-out patina look. Much of that paint has worn off or gotten thin over time.This is not a recreated patina.All of the original wood is still in the car and seems to be in very nice shape.
The body has been professionally chopped with a wedge chop (front chopped ½” more than the back) giving it an aggressive look and more headroom over the driver’s seat. Windshield posts are laid back giving traditional salt flat racer look and good visibility. Back window is now a mail slot.
Car has new floor pans. Body has the typical dings,a few dents, etc. but in great shape for an 86- year old car. Door bottoms are nice. Rocker panels and rear quarter panels had some pin holes, so the metal shop replaced with fresh metal.
Frame is obviously original and unaltered. I have the interior garnish moldings that were also chopped along with the windshield.
Original1934 flat head and running gear still in the car. Have been soaking cylinders with Marvel Mystery Oil in anticipation of rebuilding but have gone no further.
This would make a great TROG racer. If you know how hard it is to find an unrestored, untouched 32-34 Ford Coupe as well as the cost to have one correctly professionally chopped, you will know this is a rare bird.
Car is titled and ready to build. Please call (no texts) with questions. Steve @ 941-345-7978.
