1934 Ford Custom Coupe 'In Excess' Hot Rod

Description

NOW OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1934 Ford Coupe has earned its place in history as one of the most iconic American cars produced and one of the most desirable hot rods in automotive history. Its beautiful body lines, reverse hinged doors, and sought-after grill, provide the Ford a memorable face and one that looks fantastic — even after almost 90 years. While the three-window coupe was a popular choice with hot rodders, the 34’ Ford would also emerge as a favored choice for the law enforcement who were chasing them. Even today, a stock '34 Ford still turns heads, yet when you add a Boss 429 with a Huhl supercharger dripping in chrome, it's a formula for success.
