Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1931 Ford 5-Window Coupe. The Model A was one of Ford's greatest successes, only bested by the predecessor the Model T. The âA" came in many shapes and sizes of the years with nearly 5 million being built in its generation from 1927 to 1931. One of those styles was the 5 Window Coupe, and its one of the most sought after today, some for originality, but mostly by hotrodders everywhere to make it into a street rod! Here we have one of those rare 5 window coupe street rods. Approaching the car, you see the light glinting off the Porsche red paint. Exterior is in good condition, you'll like the Hoosier Hood, the '32 Ford grille and the stainless exhaust and gas tank. The interior is grey cloth and in good shape. Under the hood is a 305 high output GM crate engine with power ran through a turbo 350 automatic transmission. Also holding this slick ride off the ground is a 4-bar suspension, coil over shocks and has a reversed-I-spring. Expanding on the build: the frame is new 2x3 Boxsteel with ¼" walls. The rear pan & drip rails are homemade, taillights from a '39 Ford and trunk handle from a '37 Ford. Front and rear fenders are from a '28-29 Ford. The car offers heat and air but A/C is not currently working. Reason unsure. Top is off of a 1972 Monte Carlo. And the list goes on. Current owner has had this car for 50 years this year!!! Bought from a private owner locally out of Louisville, KY back in 1971. Car is titled as a 1931 Ford Coupe and is clean and clear and ready to be transferred into your name now! Options on this Ford are: A/C, Power Steering, Power Brakes, CD Player, Allow Wheels and Radial Tires.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
