Ford Roadster 2275 CC 1927
General description :
UNIQUE BUILD, 2275 CC STROKER FLAT 4 W/ DUAL WEBERS, 4 SPEED, RUNS & DRIVES GR8!
The Volkswagen Beetle overtook the Ford Model T as the world's best-selling car. So it seems quite interesting to merge these two in a full custom build. But more than just generate interesting stares, this 1927 Ford Model T replica has a custom interior and enhanced powerplant for extra fun.
This aluminum bodied full custom build has a personality all its own. The iconic lines of the Model T have a cool interpretation as it's given a sporty forward-leaning look. The short hood line, tall rear, and staggered 14/15-inch front/rear alloy wheels all make this one look like it always wants to be going forward. And with the upright grille, double windshield, and iconic V8 logo, it never loses its classic personality. In total, it's unmistakably a Ford; and it's also unmistakably an interesting build.
Inside, this one feels like a custom T-bucket with low-cut doors, low-back bucket seats up front, and a tall gearshift. Plus, with a full set of newer VDO gauges, you have much better info about what's going on in the engine bay than the Model T could ever provide. And when you twist the key, not only are the sounds all coming from the rear, but it also has a much throatier tone then you might expect.
We already mentioned that this is based on a VW, and that's a good thing. It's a stout platform that is very accepting of upgrades. In this one, it starts with a newer aluminum block that's part a 2275cc stroker motor package. Not only is that a far larger displacement than VW ever offered, but it's also fortified and enhanced with dual Weber two-barrel carbs, a SCAT crankshaft, 94mm cylinders, and a lighter flywheel. Plus, with the four-speed manual transmission and grippy modern tires, all the control over this custom build is firmly in your hands.
Something this unique and powerful is rarely this affordable. So if you're as intrigued as we are, don't miss out, call today!

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.
