1931 Ford Coupe
I’ve decided to sell the coupe,body is all steel, in good shape, some patch panels installed before I got it,body could use some TLC, remember this thing is 75 years old and the last 35 of that it’s been a hot rod. I’ve driven this car about 2500 miles since last October and just finished a frame off re-do of the entire thing, it’ll run 70-75 on the freeway all day and not get hot, loves to leave rubber on the road while spewing smoke into the air, yeah, it’s a kick in the ass to drive.

Car just made an almost 1000 mile round trip, Paso, some coastal touring and almost back to Bakersfield! Ran great until the Ujoint let go! I'd drive this car anywhere, if it's still mine, I'm driving it the 1900 mile R/T to Speedweek.
