By far one of the the best running driving and looking Sport Coupes around! We have put about 2000 miles on it, driven from NYC to NJ, Maine, Maryland, Connecticut, Montauk LI Pennsylvania and lots of other places. Cruises comfortably at 70 mph all day long, never above 180 degrees even on a 95+ degree day!

It was started with a genuine rust free real Henry Ford 1929 sport coupe body. The Jimenez Brothers http://www.jimenezbroscustoms.com/ made it a coupester and did the fautina paint.

This is a very nice little rod that is basically brand spanking new from the bottom up. Runs drives, steers, and stops with no issues matter of fact it drives PERFECT! It has some squeak's and a little rattle here and there but its also a HOT ROD. Folks love the paint but you can pick you own color and shoot it without having to do any major body work. You couldn't build this car for what I am asking. Car is for sale locally, so please if you are near the Bronx stop by and see it, it will be worth it....NOTHING HIDDEN!
