6.1L Hemi-Powered 1934 Dodge Coupe Street Rod

Description

The 1934 Dodge was bigger, sturdier, and more advanced than the car it replaced. As part of the DR series, it rode on a longer 117" wheelbase, featured an innovative independent front suspension, and showcased stylish sheetmetal in Coupe, Sedan, and Convertible bodies. Unique features included a graceful, sloping radiator grille, new headlights, a boxy greenhouse, and a sloping rear end.

While original '34 Coupes were motivated by a 217ci six cylinder, this all-steel street rod is powered by a modern 6.1L Hemi V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission. That powertrain is mounted in a modified, body-color chassis wearing rack and pinion steering, a coil-over suspension, and 4-wheel disc brakes.

This Coupe's body is finished in tan, with aftermarket chrome wheels complementing chrome side pipes. Its cabin has been redone in custom leather upholstery, with matching door and trunk panels. And aftermarket gauges with illuminated needles, a tilt column with a matching steering wheel, billet pedals, and a modern shifter console completes the custom look.

This 1934 Dodge Coupe street rod is now offered by the executor of the late owner’s estate with a clean Pennsylvania title.
