1933 Ford Coupe

This 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe brings together an all-steel body, flathead V8 power and the details that define a traditional hot rod. A body-off restoration by the current owner paired the Ford's sweeping fenders and compact cabin with a four-speed manual transmission, a detailed chassis and a green leather interior. Finished in Black, the coupe carries a forward rake and period-style equipment throughout, with copies of build receipts and restoration photos accompanying the sale. The black finish highlights the Ford's all-steel bodywork, full fenders and ribbed running boards. Louvers across the hood's top and side panels add traditional details around the bright grille, while chrome headlamp housings, cowl lamps and bumpers provide contrast. A vinyl, black roof insert, opening cowl vent and rear-hinged doors preserve familiar early Ford features. At the rear, round taillights sit above the bumper, with twin exhaust pipes below. Black 16" steel wheels wear bright trim rings and Ford hubcaps and are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. Power comes from a flathead V8 reported to displace 304ci, equipped with dual Stromberg 97 two-barrel carburetors, a rare Edelbrock intake manifold and finned aluminum Edelbrock cylinder heads. Individual air cleaners and tall carburetor risers give the engine its distinctive appearance, complemented by a red-painted block and a finned remote oil filter housing. Dual exhaust with Smithy's mufflers supplies the flathead soundtrack. A BorgWarner T10 four-speed manual transmission sends power to a banjo rear axle converted to an open drive. Beneath the body, the gloss-black chassis features a solid front axle, transverse leaf springs front and rear, and front shock absorbers. Gloss-black rear axle housings and suspension components add detail, while four-wheel drum brakes complete the traditional mechanical package. The cabin pairs green leather with rich woodgrain trim, creating an inviting contrast that suits the Ford's traditional character. Pleated upholstery covers the bench seat and matching door panels, complemented by a coordinated headliner and sun visors. Brown carpeting anchors the interior, while woodgrain finishes extend across the dashboard and window surrounds. A black three-spoke steering wheel faces a Ford speedometer and original-style instruments within an engine-turned surround. The original-style ignition controls retain the traditional starting sequence. Additional AutoMeter gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, voltage and fuel are concealed behind a hinged dash panel. And a tall floor shifter with a brown knob, separate parking brake lever and bright interior handles finish the controls. This Ford offers the appeal of an early coupe built around the sights, sounds and hardware of traditional hot rodding. Its all-steel construction and restoration give it a strong foundation, while the accompanying receipts and photos provide a useful record of the work. For an enthusiast drawn to flathead power and classic Ford proportions, it presents a distinctive way to enjoy the hobby.
