Ford Custom Corvette LT1 1939
General description :
1939 Ford - Coast to Coast Custom There are a lot of custom cars out there but the quality ones are few and far between. This 1939 Ford Coast to Coast Custom is one of those that clearly sits above the rest. Checking it out in person will easily show you that this wasn't some garage built kit car. The fit and finish is of the highest level which is a big part of why it does so well at car shows. Coast to Coast makes some of the highest quality fiberglass bodies out there and this is one of them. The elegant body lines flow perfectly into eachother giving it a tough yet very sleek classy appearance. This car is a Roadster but is typically run with the slick hardtop mounted in place. The exterior is coated in a two tone Silver and Black which have a beautiful shine. The paint looks great as is but by keeping it clean allows the future owner the creative room to add pinstriping, etc to suit their taste. A custom painted to match grill is found up front and give it a little different look from similar cars out there. The car has been intentionally kept free of a lot of chrome pieces but stainless trim does outline the tear drop style headlights up front. LED taillights are found in the rear and nicely accent the pointed rear fenders. Billet mirrors are mounted to each door and poppers are used to open the door as the body has been kept shaved and free from any handles or trim. Colorado Custom wheels are found under all four corners and are wrapped with fresh low profile tires. The car has an incredible stance which is entirely adjustable by the Air Ride Technologies shockwave system. It looks great sitting low to the ground at car shows but is very easy to raise up and set for the perfect ride cruising down the road. Turn the key and you will here the Corvette LT1 motor instantly roar to life. It has an awesome sound which is delivered to your ears via the custom dual exhaust routed out of the rear. The engine has plenty of power and utilizes a custom cover and Street and Performance mass air flow harness. An electric fan keeps it running cool at all times and the car cruises down the road with ease. The engine is backed by an automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and with no problems. Power steering, power brakes, power doors, and power windows are also all in place so you don't have to leave those comforts with the daily driver car at home when you head out to car shows. The interior of the car is done in all Black leather and the upholstery work has a nice finish. The dual bucket seats are comfortable and sit to each side of the custom made center console. Stewart Warner gauges are mounted to the dash as is the custom Pioneer AM/FM/CD player and aftermarket AC vents. An Ididit tilt column sits nicely in front of the driver and is topped with Billet steering wheel. This car was finished out very nicely and you can tell the work was done right by the way it drives down the road. You won't regret checking this one out in person! Make it yours for the reduced price of $69,900.00 $64,900.00! Reasonable offers will be considered!

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.
