Fords from the 1930s are becoming quite desirable in terms of retromod platforms. With their gangster movie looks and quirky styling, these cars have a sort of allure to them that many enthusiasts of restomods seem to seek. However, it’s not always easy to find a ʼ30s Ford that’s worthy of restomod treatment. Some cars may be too far deteriorated to be restored, others might be lovingly-restored to original form and thus it would be a crime to restomod them. That’s why outfits such as Factory Five exist. Popularly known for their Shelby Cobra replicas, this company also makes replicas of other vehicles. One prime example of their excellent work is this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod with 6,498 miles on the clock. If you want a car that looks like a ʼ30s Ford that’s been restomodded, but comes with a modern powertrain and convenience features, this New York-based car is your best bet.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod showcases its iconic hot rod lines in a two-tone silver and blue paint job. Of course, it’s been given the full hot rod treatment, from exposed wheels sans wheel arches and fairings, to an engine bay that’s exposed on either side. A low windshield and a long stance further accentuate this distinctive look. Although our pictures show the car to be open-topped, we’re told that there’s also a convertible top and side windows so that you can button up when things turn showery or too hot. The interior of this 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod is largely classic-inspired, with its vintage-style gauges, flat dashboard and low-back seats upholstered in black leather. However, there’s one feature that you wouldn’t have gotten in the Thirties – air conditioning. Yes, this car has a Vintage Air set-up for use with the convertible top and windows in place, to keep you comfortable and chilled when required.
This 2017 Factory Five '33 Hot Rod isn’t just about show; it’s also got plenty of go. Under the hood – well, you’ll likely have already seen it via the exposed sides – lies a modern 5.0-liter Coyote V8, keeping things within the Ford family. Here, it’s mated with a 5-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes for a modern experience all round.

A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. 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. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
