1936 Ford 3-Window Coupe – Ford Blue – Show Ready

Few cars capture the soul of American hot rodding quite like a 1936 Ford 3-Window Coupe, and this one does it with presence, performance, and documented care. Finished in striking “Ford Blue”, this steel-bodied classic is turn-key ready for cruise nights, weekend shows, or confident highway road trips.

Proven History & Documentation

This coupe has benefited from thoughtful stewardship. The last two owners—over the past 20 years—have maintained a detailed notebook documenting upgrades and enhancements. It's the kind of organized history that serious buyers appreciate.

Authentic Henry Ford Steel
• Genuine Henry Ford steel body
• Steel body with glass rear fenders
• Excellent fit and finish throughout
• “Ford Blue” paint applied in 2014 — still presenting beautifully

The stance is right, the proportions are classic, and the overall presentation reflects careful ownership rather than hurried modification.

Performance & Drivetrain

Under the hood sits a strong-running 400 cubic inch V8, modestly built for reliable street performance. With approximately 12,000 miles on the build, it delivers dependable power without sacrificing drivability.
• 400 CID V8 (mild performance build)
• 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission
• Ford 9” rear end with 3.55 Posi-Traction
• Mustang II front suspension
• Power steering rack and pump included (not installed)

This combination makes the car comfortable at highway speeds while maintaining that classic V8 feel.

Chassis, Wheels & Stance

The car rides on:
• Radir Tri-Rib III fully polished 15” wheels
• BFGoodrich tires:
• 175/65R front
• 235/70R rear

The tire stagger gives the car a purposeful hot-rod stance without going extreme. It sits right and drives confidently.
