Exterior and Interior
There’s really no mistaking this party bus for anything else on the road. This custom-built 1935 Ford is painted in a school bus-esque shade of bright yellow, with a black stripe down the side, and a playful “2 Kool 4 Skool” graphic. The owner reports that the bus’ grille and front bumper have been newly re-chromed, matching the Moto Metal wheels, which come in a staggered configuration: 18 inches on the front and 20 inches on the rear. The wheels are wrapped in brand-new Michelin Defender tires. Naturally, things get a lot more interesting once you step aboard the party bus. This Ford Custom features the dashboard from a 1959 Chevrolet, with a Vintage Air a/c unit, a power driver’s window, and power remote mirrors. Other driver conveniences include a tilt steering wheel and rear-view camera. Passengers, or should we say partygoers, can avail of a host of specially tailored features in the rear section. The interior is all new and fully customized, with storage under the rear seats. There’s a stainless steel sink equipped with running water, as well as a full 1-inch black granite bar with nine custom bottle holders and eight custom aluminum drink holders. Look to the ceiling, and you’ll be enchanted by this 1935 MY Ford Custom Party Bus’ nighttime sky, with its built-in light-up roof. Pierce Arrow lanterns are also mounted above the bar. A Pioneer audio player with Bluetooth capabilities and matching speakers keeps the party going. So, too, do the bus’ chrome dancing pole, four charging outlets, and a built-in Yeti ice chest with a trash can.
Engine
While you’d expect a party bus to feature some crazy interior modifications, what you may not expect from this 1935 Ford Custom is what is found under the hood: an engine and powertrain that wouldn’t look out of place in a hot rod, let alone a custom bus. This unique build is powered by a new Chevrolet 350ci crate engine. It features Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and Holley Hyper Spark ignition with new plug wires. The engine is mated to a GM 700R4 automatic transmission, with a Lo Kar shifter. Braking is courtesy of front disc brakes and an E-Stopp electric emergency brake. The suspension is from a 1984 Chevrolet, while handling the added weight in the rear are new QA1 adjustable shock absorbers. A 16-inch Spal electric fan assists in engine cooling, while a new chrome 200-amp alternator and a Red Top Ultima battery supply power throughout the party bus.
