If you’re not too fussed by vintage cars being true to period correctness, why not check out a Hot Rod? These are vehicles that have been customized to a great degree, retaining only a portion of their original persona, but augmenting and enhancing it with modern features. Take this 1927 Ford Hot Rod as a prime example. It’s based on a 1920s Ford, but has been extensively customized into what you see here. With a new engine, modern mechanicals, and some upgrades all over, it’s definitely a head-turner to behold. Plus, it’s got only over 6,300 miles to its name and currently waits in Texas.
Exterior and Interior
This 1927 Ford Hot Rod likely started life as a two-door or Tudor coupe, but it’s so far removed from that previous life that you’d be hard-pressed to see the similarities if you parked a period-correct example right next to it. This vehicle has been chopped, lowered, and rides on a set of black wheels with chrome hubcaps. The rear wheels, in particular, wear meaty tires that are definitely not just for show, but essential if the V8 up front is to gain any meaningful traction when you put your foot down. Other features include podded headlamps, a chrome radiator grille, exposed front suspension componentry, and, of course, an exposed engine bay. The passenger accommodations of this 1927 Ford Hot Rod consist of two low-back seats with black upholstery and lap belts. There’s a Dakota Digital gauge upgrade within the car’s dashboard, an aftermarket steering wheel, and the shifter for the car’s Powerglide transmission. There’s nothing else to distract you from the raw, visceral experience of driving this hot rod, but if you want to add, say, a radio, that’s entirely up to you.
Engine
Powering this 1927 Ford Hot Rod is a 5.3-liter LS1 V8 that’s been converted to use a Holley carburetor and an MSD ignition box. The engine is paired with a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission for that signature hot rod dragster driving experience. A Ford 9-inch rear axle handles power transfer to the road via those meaty rear tires that we told you aren’t just cosmetic, but highly necessary. Also highly necessary is the vehicle’s braking system, which, thankfully, has been upgraded to a 4-wheel disc system.
