This 1934 Ford 5-Window Coupe is a premium right-hand-drive hot rod, meticulously crafted from its original steel body and factory chassis. Presented in bare metal with a matte clear coat, the car proudly showcases traditional hot rod craftsmanship, including flawless panel alignment, lead-wiped seams, and reinforced chassis modifications. Built to an exceptional standard, it is fully certified with a detailed Victorian engineer’s report and meets all VicRoads Club Permit requirements. Since its completion in 2021, the car has travelled minimal miles and remains in outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition. Rare to find.

 

DRIVE-LINE:

Powering this coupe is the formidable 392ci Hemi V8, topped with four downdraft IDA Weber carburettors. A high-performance combination tuned for easy turn key cruising while delivering serious presence and raw old-school power. The engine is paired with a heavy-duty Turbo 400 automatic transmission and sends power to a robust Ford 9-inch limited-slip differential. Steering is managed through a Unisteer half-rack system with So-Cal stainless steering arms and a Flaming River collapsible column, offering precision and safety. Braking is handled by Wilwood twin-piston calipers on vented front disc brakes with stainless covers, complemented by Ford rear drums and a Wilwood 1-inch master cylinder with power brake booster. Suspension features a forged I-beam front axle with stainless Rod-Tech hairpins and a So-Cal four-bar front and rear end with Gaz adjustable coil-over shocks, delivering both performance and ride quality. The original chassis is professionally boxed and fabricated with X-Frames and a tubular rear cross member by TRJ engineering. An impressive custom twin stainless steel exhaust system completes the package.

 

EXTERIOR:

The exterior is the true standout in unpainted bare metal, sealed only with a matte clear coat that highlights the craftsmanship and fabrication detail typically hidden beneath paint. Nothing to hide. The original 1934 steel body has been subtly chopped and is reinforced with a custom-fabricated 50x25mm internal steel frame, offering exceptional strength and rigidity. Panel gaps are precise, with lead-wiping on full display — a testament to the builder’s skill and the no-nonsense philosophy behind the build. Every external component has been carefully chosen for both function and aesthetic appeal, creating a purposeful and aggressive stance that reflects traditional hot rod roots fused with modern execution. 

 

INTERIOR:

Inside, the car stays true to its stripped-down industrial character, with bare metal surfaces left exposed and finished to high quality standard. The interior features a single leather bench seat offering a touch of comfort and contrast, while simple rubber flooring continues the purposeful aesthetic. Instrumentation comes via a full set of Moon gauges, adding a period-correct hot rod feel while ensuring accurate readouts for vital systems. The lack of trim and upholstery is deliberate, highlighting the precision and cleanliness of the fabrication work, and reinforcing the car’s honest, traditional focused nature.

 

SUMMARY:

This 1934 Ford 5-Window Coupe is a rare and fully-engineered hot rod that blends traditional body work with great mechanicals and modern-day registration compliance. Built around an original steel body and chassis, this build features quality components throughout, with all the hard work completed, ready to enjoy. Victorian engineering documents, SR registration approved and minimal use since completion. A standout opportunity for any serious enthusiast seeking a no-compromise hot rod.

Honest, raw, and well executed, this is hot rodding at its traditional best.
