Hi there.......I'm thinking pretty serously about selling my coupe, due to my health and other circumstances. But it's probbaly not cost effective for you...... but what do I know!
I have a 31 coupe...... pretty nice condition. It's running a 2.3 pinto motor, 39 ford tranny, banjo rearend with taller gears for freeway cruiseing, 48 ford hyd brakes, with 35 ford 16 inch rims and w/w's. Run's good.
Interior is black tuck'n roll leather, headliner is gray mohair or something like that.
Body is very tight and straight. There are two little rust spots about the size of a quarter.....but not rusted through. On each side underneath where the rear fenders bolted on at the bottom of the body....no big deal, easy fix.
I was turning it into a fenderless highboy coupe. So the fenders, running boards, frame skirts, front apron, bumpers, are off and sold.
But I have many new parts for it, such as..... a new 4 inch superbell dropped axle, a posies superslider spring/ with s/s hinges and perches. Dropped steering arms, Finned aluminum air scoops for backing plates.
A very nice set of split wishbones, compleate with new bolt-on hangers etc.
A set of king-bee headlights and s/s swan neck headlight stands. A new 32 ford radiator shell with a s/s insert grill.
A new set of guages with tach. electric fuelpump with moon fuel log with moon fuel pressure guage, and regulator..''allready installed''. And a very cool finned aluminum 'Arden' teardrop style aircleaner.
In the rear......I have a new set of 48 ford tailights and a set of 50 pontiac tailights. A new nos s/s hollywood license plate light and bracket. And I was going to change the rumbleseat trunk into a regular trunk, so I picked up a nice vintage set of art deco style 39 nash trunk hinges. And there's a bunch of other cool parts for it, just cant remember right now.
Here's a picture of it........ just imagine it without the fenders and stuff. And heres a picture of a coupe that I was useing twoards the style that I was going for.
I want $12,250.00 or might sell without the parts.
Thanks D.

Maybe not.......I think that I'm gonna try and finish it. I think just one more shock treatment....and I'll be ''right as rain''
