Seller's comments about 1936' Ford

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1936 Ford 4-Door Slantback Sedan. This cool street rod comes to us today dressed in a driver-quality coat of Washington Blue paint with some tasteful light blue and fuchsia pinstriping. This Ford is an all-steel car with the exception of fiberglass front fenders and the body is nice and straight. The restoration of this car took place before 2000 when the most recent owner purchased the car. In this owners tenure, they only put 4,323 miles on the car and they kept all receipts for work done during that time. With such light use, its easy to see why the restoration has held up so well! The attention-grabber at the front end is the gleaming inverted pentagonal grille with vertical bars that sports a raised V8 and a Ford/Lincoln Greyhound ornament just above. These greyhound ornaments are tough to come by and we believe that this one is likely an original (not a reproduction). The bright grille is flanked by enormous egg-shaped headlights with bright bezels and swooping curved fenders. Beneath the grille is a chrome bumper that curves downward in the center and appears correct to the car. The bulbous hood opens with upward folding doors on each side that are adorned with three chrome trim pieces accenting two rows of vents. A bright hood spine leads the eye to the chrome-trimmed windshield. From the side youll see that the rear doors of this Ford are suicide-style (opening toward the rear of the car), making the entrance into the spacious rear seating area feel special every time you get in. Beneath the doors are solid steel running boards with nice black rubber mats from fender to fender. The doors open and close easily, line up well and have OEM-correct chrome handles. The top of this Slantback features an exceptionally nice black vinyl top that looks like it was just put on. Around the back, youll find a full spare in a body-color & chrome shell mounted to the center of the slanted rear. The rear bumper, like the front, is bright and correct to the car. Elongated factory taillights extend from the rear fenders with the drivers side fixture also offering a chrome gas cap. A modern third brake light is perched in the rear window and an antenna has been mounted to the passenger side of the bumper support. Extending out from beneath the rear are two chrome trumpet-style exhaust tips that let you know that this is no ordinary 36 Ford. This blue beauty rolls down the road on 8-hole aluminum wheels with knock-off spinners, all wrapped in BF Goodrich tires. Back when this Ford was new it would have come with a 221ci flathead V-8 under the hood that, while long-lasting, left a great deal to be desired in terms of horsepower and excitement. This has all changed now for this Slantback as it currently has a 1970 350ci 300+hp V-8 tucked under the hood! When the most recent owner purchased the car he was told that the engine was bored .30 over and had a performance cam. Though we have no way of proving that today, we can attest that this old Ford has more than enough power to make you smile every time you step on the gas. The 350 is topped off with finned Chevy valve covers, an Edelbrock Performer intake, a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, and a Holley Powercharger polished aluminum air cleaner. Exhaust flows through wrapped headers and glass-pack style mufflers before exiting the rear trumpets with an awesome sound. The engine runs nice and cool courtesy of a Walker radiator that was re-cored in 2008. The stout V-8 is mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic outfitted with a B&M stall converter that sends power to the rear wheels via a 10-bolt rear end. Also under the hood is a Vintage AC/heat system that is currently inoperable (we believe that the cause is improperly installed lines, though we cant say with certainty). Out on the road, this car handles great and is a pleasure to drive, courtesy of a Mustang II front end, power steering, and a rear spring kit, and front & rear sway bars from Chassis Engineering. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. If you have any additional questions, please call one of our friendly sales staff.
