Ford Roadster 350 CID V8 1939
General description :
For sale in our Houston showroom is this beautiful 1939 Ford Roadster street rod. Covered in an unmistakably flamboyant metallic green, this baby really stands out from the crowd! Featuring a detachable chopped hard top, this is one unmistakable hot rod. a 400hp 350 CID V8 with under 4000 miles on it lurks under the hood, and it's backed by a freshly-built TH350 3-speed automatic, which sends the power to the Ford 9" rear, with a custom 4-link setup handling getting the power to the ground. Coilover shocks are at all 4 corners, and its massive Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (225/35-ZR19 front, 295/30-ZR20 rear) wrapped around the Budnik billet wheels (19" front, 20" rear) all contribute to enabling this vintage hotrod to handle like a modern sports car. Power steering is there to help aid low-speed maneuverability, but it's doubtful you'll spend much time going slow! Don't worry if you get going too quickly because of the surge of adrenaline that will get to your right foot - your left foot can stab the slow pedal, and the multi-piston Wilwood brake calipers will grab the massive rotors (drilled/slotted up front, drilled out back) and haul you back to legal numbers in no time. Open the custom, shaved handle suicide doors, and the coolness continues...Inside, you'll find a completely custom interior, with plenty of creature comforts. A fully-polished Colorado Custom tilt-adjustable steering column is topped by a billet steering wheel, and the dash sports a full set of AutoMeter ProComp gauges to both keep the driver informed of critical vehicle systems, as well as to further the high-performance street rod motif. If the driver (or more likely the passenger) ever tire of the V8's rumble, there's a custom dual-DIN Kenwood touch screen head unit, with AM/FM/CD and Bluetooth compatibility. Once you get past all of the goodies, slip into the custom high-grade synthetic seats, strap on your seatbelt, fire it up, and hit the road in one of the coolest street rods you'll find. Options on this 1939 Ford Roadster include Aluminum Alloy Wheels, AM/FM/CD radio with Bluetooth, Performance Radial Tires, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, and Synthetic Leather interior.

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.
