1937 Ford Coupe Costs Less Than You Think, Has a Matching Trailer and a Big V8 Secret

If they get your heart racing, then you should check out the pictures of this 1937 Ford Coupe. The old-timer benefits from a few modern touches. For one, the body was made of fiberglass, preserving its classic appeal and making it rust-resistant.

We're not particularly fans of the purple paint finish, but it's not hideous. We think it would look better with a black look, especially with the shiny metal accents, including those on the wheels, providing some contrast. Privacy windows would also be an excellent addition, and these tweaks won't break the bank.

Black should also be the dominating hue of the interior, which now features a bit too much gray for our taste. It has a few custom gauges, cupholders, and shiny metal trim. As you can imagine from a build that ate numerous hours, everything functions accordingly, including the vintage air conditioning. That also applies to the icing on the cake, which is visible upon popping the hood open.

You can tell which car the engine powering this 1937 Ford Coupe came from, don't you? After all, it retains the original branding. Yep, that would be a Chevrolet Corvette, a 1997 model, according to the Garage Kept Motors listing, mated to an auto 'box. The C5-sourced V8 is a 5.7-liter unit with unspecified output. The LS1 powered the normal 'Vette models from that era, whereas the LS6, with an identical displacement, found its way under the hood of the Z06 from 2001 to 2004, kicking out around 400 hp.

An adjustable air suspension is part of the build, allowing the driver to lift and lower the entire body at the push of a button. For an elevated feel, the car is accompanied by a matching trailer, which was also finished in the same shade of purple and rides on similar wheels. It may not be the most practical design, but at least its future owner will be able to pack more bags for their future trips.

Now, this is the part where we have to talk about the finances, and you should know that this classic ride does not break the bank. In fact, it looks more expensive than it is, and you will have to pay $39,900 to sign your name on the dotted line. That's pretty much new Ford Explorer or F-150 territory. But is it worth the asking price to you, and if so, are you considering buying it? We would, as it would be nice to have around the office, though with the mods mentioned above.
