The 1930s Ford coupes and roadsters have become cherished platforms for Hot Rod enthusiasts, and this 1936 Ford Deluxe Roadster from the Model 68 lineup exemplifies the beauty of authentic Hot Rodding that emerged from Southern California. Meticulously customized, this roadster retains its period-correct 239ci Ford 59AB Flathead V8 Engine, skillfully rebuilt by Coyote Flathead in Tucson, AZ. Despite its extensive transformation, the car maintains its true essence as a 1930s hot rod, blending both cosmetic and mechanical enhancements flawlessly. With just 2,000 miles since its rebirth, this open-top roadster proudly represents the spirit of classic hot rodding that originated from the west coast.
Exterior and Interior
This 1936 Ford Model 68 Deluxe Roadster Hot Rod showcases a sleek black paint job on its steel body, complemented by new chrome parts and custom-made skirts. The windshield and folding top have been artfully chopped by two inches, giving the car a more aggressive stance. The folding convertible top, in contrasting white, adds to its appeal. With new Firestone tires and Lyons caps, this hot rod boasts a vintage look that captures attention. Inside, the maroon leather-trimmed interior is reported to be new, offering a classic and luxurious feel. The two occupants can enjoy the comfort of a bench seat, while auxiliary gauges, like the Sun tachometer in the driver's line of sight, provide necessary information. The absence of distractions, including a radio, allows for a pure and focused driving experience. The reupholstered trunk ensures ample space for carrying groceries or luggage during your weekend classic car drives.
Engine
Under the hood, this 1936 Ford Roadster boasts a potent 239ci 59AB Ford Flathead V8 engine with some impressive modifications. Crafted by Coyote Flathead in Tucson, AZ, the engine has been bored 0.30" over for enhanced performance. Additional upgrades include a Harmon Collins dual coil dual point distributor, new Fenton headers, and Porter mufflers, all contributing to an exhilarating driving experience. The current owner has also equipped this hot rod with two new Weiand 2x2 97s intakes and Offenhauser headers, further enhancing the engine's capabilities. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a manual transmission and a Banjo rear end with a 3.54 ratio, skillfully built by Hotrod Works in Caldwell, ID. To ensure efficient braking, the car features Lincoln front brakes, while the handling benefits from a 4-inch dropped Ford axle, courtesy of Sids in Oklahoma. Other notable improvements include a rebuilt steering box, a new fuel tank, and a new fuel sender, all adding to the reliability and overall appeal of this extraordinary classic roadster.
