Classic Fords from the 1930s make for fantastic restomod platforms. They’ve got that iconic look that many remember from the silent, old-school black-and-white gangster movies that defined the 1930s and 1940s. This particular 1934 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod is one such example, hailing from the 1932 Ford family. The 1932 Ford came in many forms, including sedans, roadsters, coupes, and cabriolets. This particular vehicle has received a full restoration and has traveled just 4,000 miles since then. Let’s have a deeper insight of what makes up this car, and why you should add it to your classic car collection – or use it to start a collection, for that matter.
The Wendescott full fendered body of this 1934 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod is a beauty to behold, especially as it wears a clean coat of matte black paint. The vehicle’s front axle has been dropped by four inches for that characteristic leaning-forward stance that many hot rods tend towards, as it makes the car look ready to pounce. Then, we’ve got a Hartz black cloth drop top, offering some weather protection for when things turn rainy. The interior of this 1934 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod is custom affair headlined by red leather. You’ve got a tilt GM steering column and an aftermarket Boyds steering wheel. There’s also a set of classic-styled gauges neatly nestled within the car’s dashboard. You’ll also be pleased to learn that there’s a hidden JVC head unit with a CD player, enabling you to listen to some modern tunes on your drives in this lovely hot-rod, although its punchy V8 engine also provides a compelling soundtrack. Pop the trunk and you’ll find it’s also decked out in red carpeting, with two wood boxes in classic luggage style, adding to the vintage atmosphere that this car exudes in some ways.
There’s a 350ci V8 under the hood of this 1934 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod, offering modern power and plenty of highway urge. The engine is mated with an automatic transmission and a set of Chevrolet 3.08 highway gears for effortless progress among today’s EVs and hybrids. Disc brakes have also been installed so that stopping this jaw-dropper is a fairly easy affair.
The 1934 Ford Model 40 Pickup is one of the most iconic shapes of the pre-war era, and this example reimagines that timeless design as a well-executed street rod.

The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it.
