Vehicle Description

Vehicle Original VIN : 184104640




* This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 *

This 1937 Ford Model 78 Deluxe Rumble Seat Cabriolet is a rare and beautifully restored example, retaining 99.8% original "Henry Ford steel." The car has been in the same family for over 25 years and underwent a comprehensive, photo-documented restoration completed in 2018. Since then, it has been carefully garaged in Cincinnati, Ohio, and regularly shown at cruise-ins and car shows, where it consistently draws attention and praise.

Under the hood is a professionally built 383ci Chevy stroker by Pro-formance Unlimited (now Custom Crate Engines), dyno-tested at 462 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered through a rebuilt GM Turbo 350 automatic transmission with a TCI converter and an upgraded 8-inch rear end, offering smooth power delivery and excellent highway drivability. Additional highlights include MSD ignition, Edelbrock performance heads, Sanderson headers, and a March Performance serpentine pulley system.

The body was completely disassembled and restored with new steel panels where needed, meticulous panel alignment, and a high-end paint finish. It is finished in Dupont Axalta "Limited Addiction Red" with added pearl and metal flake, receiving seven coats of color and five coats of clear. The result is a deep, show-quality finish with outstanding presence.

Modern drivability upgrades include a Mustang II front suspension with disc brakes, power brakes, Classic Auto Air conditioning, aluminum radiator with electric fan, and a fully refinished chassis. The interior features durable vegan leather upholstery, South American Padauk wood trim, Dakota Digital gauges, power windows, and a hidden modern audio system. The car rides on American ceramic black-chromed wheels wrapped in Hankook tires and is topped with a fully custom canvas convertible top designed specifically for this car.

A rare pre-war Ford Cabriolet that seamlessly blends classic styling, modern performance, and show-quality craftsmanship.

Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing, and/or $240 documentation fees.
