For Sale: 1936 Ford 2-Dr Coupe in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1936 Ford Fordor Standard Sedan It's not often I read of the owner removing original parts because they are old, and unreliable, all to improve performance, drive-ability, and reliability, at the risk of not having an original carwait! It's genius!! Hidden in the garage by night this mild-mannered Ford Fordor, (short for four door-go figure?), slant back, (as opposed to humpback with a trunk), leads a simple life, enjoying its time off from the daily grind.
By day, this sleeper, (so seeming), starts up and is ready to compete in Rallies, The Great Race Coker Tire Challenge, AACA Founders Club Tours, and AACA Tours.
Oh, did I mention it can easily be a daily driver too, and it's been up and down the East Coast.
Ladies and gentlemen this car is 87 years old this year, and it barely breathes heavily when it competes, and completes the aforementioned.
Exterior Original Henry Ford & Son sheet metal, this car sat in dry storage from 1962 to 1988 and was off road totally, when a complete disassembly began.
All of the body panels were taken apart and painted in black enamel in 1989/1990.
This body features all new glass and tracks, weather strip, bumpers, bonded rubber running boards, soft roof, shared B pillar latched doors, deluxe spare tire cover and fold down V8 badged trunk rack.
Some additional deluxe trim has been added to bling it up a tad.
Throw on some horizontal ribs on the cowled hood, grille surround, and hidden horn bezels.
Beautifully preserved gently curved chirped bumpers with vertical bars to protect them on front and rear and we are off to the rally.
Included are 5 wide whites, 4 of which are Ford Script and the 5th covered under a rear mounted black metal cover on the rear.
Now I would definitely put it in the visual snappy category.
Interior A completely new Lebaron Bonney company interior, carpet, headliner, rubber mat trim, etc.
has now been installed.
Noted is the driver's floor pan where the ONLY area of rust was found and had to be repaired.
Wonderful tuck and roll overstuffed benches sit in upholstered tub surrounds and are like new in their tan broadcloth presentation front and rear.
Door panels are nicely covered too and have shiny actuators and cranks.
The original brown fax wood bakelite banjo style steering wheel fronts the dash and is edged and centered with brown bakelite.
In that center is the V8 logo, which I treasure as one of Ford's greatest badges.
The brown steel full metal jacket dash top and front are of the art deco design and present with just a few spots and original warm cream gauges.
Hanging under the center of the dash are various new toggles and gauges to keep track of pertinent information such as accurate fuel amount, an oil pressure gauge, and a nifty switch to activate the exhaust cut out for extra power and extra fun! Rising from the rubber floors is a long handled shift lever and chromed handbrake lever.
In the center is a round styled deluxe radio.
Above is a tight headliner also in fuzzy broadcloth.
Noted seat belts are all around.
Drivetrain The original flathead has been upgraded to a post war 24 stud 59 A/B block which has been completely rebuilt with only the finest components, featuring a balanced reciprocating assembly with new forged pistons.
A new crab cap distributor, plugs and wires, high output coil, Pertronix point elimination, and a completely new wiring harness are installed.
On top is a chromed horn styled intake 2-barrel carburetor.
On back a rebuilt transmission with a new gear cluster, bearings, resurfaced flywheel and a new clutch pressure plate have been put on too, and its a 3 speed manual transmission.
Putting all this new found power to the asphalt is a 4.
11 geared rear axle.
Undercarriage Nary any sign of rust, structural integrity is A plus, remembering that this car is 87 years old.
A 21-gallon fuel cell with redundant electric fuel pump, allows this car to be driven over 250 miles without worry.
An aluminum radiator with electric fan can be seen from underneath, modern new hydraulic shocks, new linkages and tie rods, and new shackles and spherical bushings in springs all around.
NOS Ford drums with races and seals, bearings and linings, clevis pins, adjusting sleeve and cotter pinsallowing the brakes to actually lock up.
A solid floor pan is now seen above the X frame.
Drive-Ability She runs like a clock, and is wonderfully comfy to drive.
Our consignor has to sadly part with her due to recent knee surgery and now the clutch is difficult for him.
It was very easy in and out for me.
All functions are working as they should.
The list goes on and on with all the upgrades and redundancy needed for the rally competitions this car frequents.
If you are into original, all parts have been retained and you can slap them back on to make the car originalbut why would any want to? With the built-in reliability at no expense spared restoration/upgrading that has been put into this beautiful car, that absolutely is an everyday driver.
