This remarkable, well sorted 1935 Ford Three Window Coupe was custom designed and built by the nationally recognized East Coast Hot Rod Garage, Denton Maryland. Having been selected as a “top five contender” for the prestigious Street Rod Of-The-Year sponsored by Classic Instruments, it was a cover car and featured Coupe showcased in Rodders Journal # 79. (Cover picture courtesy of Rodders Journal) Powerfully built showcasing a Ford 482 cid FE 580+ hp backed by a Tremec TKO-600 5 speed, spinning a 4:11 posi housed in a chromed Ford 9 inch differential. It boasts a unique unibody construction to handle the 610 ft. lbs. torque by integrating a custom Precision Hot Rods & Fabrications fully boxed 35 style frame to floor-pans and body for a super rigid welded single unit. While barely noticeable to the overall look, the cowl was stretched by three inches for all important body proportions, interior room and comfort. While nearly undetectable, it has a perfectly integrated 39 ford stainless trim and “one-off” 1939 Ford style trunk lid graced by a 1940 Ford trunk handle. The ride is enhanced by a smooth blend of power rack & pinion steering, power disc / finned aluminum brakes, air conditioning, a killer sound system and much more! Can provide 100+ pictures of the complete build in detail to potential buyers.

BTT Thanks all for some nice offers - so far not quite there yet - would welcome additional players to consider purchase.
Spring is here and time to get yourself in this Coupe! Offers are getting better but trades as part of the deal are not of interest. I'm coming off the initial $285K asking and willing to consider cash deal north of $225K. As you can imagine, the build cost of this machine is far far in excess of that amount.
