Everyone likes a beautiful car
and no matter what make or model you fancy, there is always one
at the show that will cause you give up your loyalty to your
favorite , even if for just a minute or two. Well this is one
of those cars. For the die hard Ford fan there is nothing sweeter
than this 1933 Ford Roadster and for those who have a loyalty
to another brand it is a secret fantasy that overwhelms them
the second they lay eyes on this work of art. This trick 33 Ford
Roadster is the work and love of Tom Manton of Ringgold Georgia.
This beautiful Bad Boyz Toy is built on a set of Sacs Rails,
smoothed and painted to match the body and mounted with a 1993
Corvette foundation that includes a tricked out LT-1 Engine equipped
with goodies like Street & Performance Custom Brackets, Pulleys,
wiring harness & computer control chip, Block Hugger Headers
and more. She breathes through 2 1/4" aluminum exhaust pipes
that release through Turbo Tube Mufflers. Taking the power to
the road is done with a 4L60E automatic transmission sporting
a Lokar Shifter that lets you feel the horsepower being fed into
the Chromed Currie 9" Ford rear end, (complete with a set
of 3:25 Gears that turn power into fun!) Inside you will find
all the comforts you would expect in a classy rod like this including
a Hand Made and Stitched Heather Bone Leather Seats & Tan
Wool Upholstery by Jeffrey Phipps of Phipps Upholstery &
Custom Rod Products of Ft Lauderdale Fla , a beautiful wrap around
fiberglass dash, Dakota Digital Gauges, Billet Specialty Steering
Wheel, Ididit Chrome Steering Column and . The body is a Rat's
Glass Ford Roadster built and painted by Ken Janow of Creative
Concepts in Dalton Ga. The little touches like the 6" longer
doors, Duvall windshield, Smoothed body panels with finished
and smoothed running boards really make the Flame Red Spies Hecker
base coat clear coat look almost wet. Breaking is done with custom
Wilwood Polished power disc's on the front and rear. The 3 has
a TCI front suspension with chrome coil overs on all four corners,
chromed shocks, pan hard bar and power steering rack. Everything
underneath is either chromed or polished or to match the body.
"She is truly dressed for the ball!!!" This is all
riding on 15" x 7" Budnick Chrome Wheels on the front
and 14" x 8" on the rear mounted with BFGoodrich TA
Radial black wall tires. She does have a learher wrapped Carson
top with plexie glass for the back window. It does not have side
windows.and very little room inside the engine compartment so
no air conditioning. Pure and simple, it is a show car and not
a daily driver. The undercarriage is as slick as the top side.
She rides like she looks and if she is on the road the heads
are turning. No one can resist just a peak at her as she passes
by. Specifically what Tom had in mind and all done for the love
of the hobby. She is a multiple show winner and has scored tops
at the ISCA shows and has made a national Hot Rod Magizine plus
the Cover (CLICK

She is as top of the line as they come!!Special thanks go out
to Tom for letting me feature her as our February Toy of the
month. By the way she is also for sale and scheduled for auction
at ebay this week so get all your honey do's done for the little
woman and get ready to ask her if you can park this dream car
in your garage!! Enjoy the slide show below and thanks for stopping
by the site. It is here for you to enjoy!. |
