Vehicle description
This is a rare piece of Hot Rod history! T his 1935 Ford 3W Coupe was built in 1979 as a state of the art, nut and bolt Project. The previous owner a well known film maker in the hot rod/drag racing industry, claim this to be the first pro street car ever built for street use! The car was meticulously put together, professionally tubbed and roof shopped 2,5" nearly 40 years ago. The bodywork on this car is absolutely astonishing, considering the age of the build. There where no wheels to buy from the shelves for a pro street car like this in 1978, so the owner had Ray Lipper to build a set for this spesific car. As you may know Ray Lipper later became the founder of the well known Centerline Wheels.The Wheels on this car is said to be the only set made, and are considdered as prototypes. This 3W coup looks right from any angle. It has a nasty attitude, but looks absolutely gorgeous at the same time. The all original rust free steel body, frame, bumpers, doors and fenders are perfectly assembeled and lined up. This is a high quality build. Everything on this car was done right, back then in 1979. Considerable amount of time and money was put into this car to get it perfect. According to the previous owner, no bondo/filler was used on the body prior to Paint! The body work is nearly 100%! In fact you could take this car to a show even today, and bring home a price or two. The last Paint job/make over was done 10 years ago, House of Colour Brandy whine. Crisp responce, nasty sounding 350 SBC engine (very low milage), with matching TH 400 transmission and Hurst Lightning Rods shifter. 4" dropped and chromed superbell four link front axle, and 8 3/4" Mopar rear end With P&J ladders. Disc/drum brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power door release, tilt/telescope GM column. The car has been driven on the road in the summer, mainly to and from different car shows and exhibitions the last three years. No problems or issues whatsoever. Having said this, please remember this is an old hot rod. The vehicle is not perfect. There are scretches and flaws in the Paint, and also minor mechanical issues to be adressed. The car is located in Norway where I live. It appears exactly as it was made nearly 40 years ago, the first pro street car, historically correct, untuched, and unaltered. A true piece of hot rod history, and a true trendsetter. I will assist in getting the vhicle shipped from Europe at buyers cost (approximately $2000). The car comes with an american title/VIN.
