Professionally Restored Original 1938 Ford Coupe For Sale

For Sale is my beautiful 1938 Ford Flathead V8 (upgraded to 120bhp) - two Seater Coupe.
This is an original 80 year old car, having undergone a complete nut and bolt restoration, which included some very worthwhile mechanical upgrades. It presents beautifully today and is a very stylish example of pure Art Deco Americana. This car was purchased from a collector in America who had owned and cherished it for many years. This car is a splendid original example. The standard Ford 221 Flat Head engine was completely stripped and rebuilt and upgraded with Offenhauser alloy cylinder Heads with twin alloy inlet manifold, Isky Camshaft, Twin rebuilt Holly Carbs, Mallory electronic Ignition etc, etc. this work alone amounted to a cost of well over $10, 000.. Since the rebuild this engine produces 120bhp, it purrs along giving that gorgeous flathead V8 sound therefore easily keeping up with modern traffic. The gearbox was also fully rebuilt, suspension and shock absorbers upgraded. Brakes were converted to a new hydraulic system and all electrics renewed and changed to a 12V system . There is of course comprehensive documentation and a photographic record of the restoration. The car clearly looks absolutely stunning in its original colour black coachwork. Other very subtle modifications include a fully louvered bonnet and slight modification to the suspension, this gives it the perfect stylish look plus greatly improved road handling. The interior is also in splendid order throughout, all the gauges switches and lights work correctly. Included in the sale are a pair of very rare and totally original rear wheel arch covers, these were a very fashionable art deco period option, as they were designed to completely enclose both rear wheel arches to make the car look more sleek. This particular Art Deco style two seater Ford coupe was only built during 1938 therefore very few now remain in this original unmolested condition, many had been converted into racing or rally cars and especially hotrods during the 1940's and 50's.

Bad Points - Some very light paint scuff marks which are age related (very hard to see or photograph!) around parts of the external bodywork, two very tiny paint spots below the boot lid and some very minor paint chips on the door edges.

I would consider taking a vintage WW2 period motorcycle like a Harley Davidson, Indian, Zundapp or BMW in 'part' exchange..
