1937 Ford Cabriolet Custom Hot Rod – Rare All-Steel Rumble Seat Build

This 1937 Ford Cabriolet is a rare all-steel, rumble seat-equipped custom hot rod that underwent a full restoration and rebuild in late 2001, with just 14,645 miles driven since completion. It’s powered by a custom-built 286CI Flathead V8, producing an estimated 200 HP and 300 lb-ft of torque, professionally built by Motor City Flathead in Dundee, MI.

The engine is a showpiece, featuring:

  • Polished and painted cylinder heads

  • Triple deuces

  • Navarro Super Flow stainless steel intake & exhaust valves

  • Polished intake manifold

  • Heavy-duty valve springs, retainers, and keepers

  • Rebuilt starter, new BRT water pumps, and fuel pump w/ pushrod

  • Electronic distributor & aluminum radiator

  • Steel flywheel, Ford clutch, and a Mustang T-5 World Class 5-speed transmission with S-10 tail housing for shifter positioning

The car rides on a new TCI chassis and features power steering, power brakes, push-button start, and Vintage A/C and heat for modern driving comfort.

Finished in a classic tone, the paint is in very good to excellent condition, with just a few minor imperfections noted. The body panels are straight and rust-free, with doors that open and close solidly. All chrome, trim, and badging are in excellent shape.

The interior is fitted with Dolphin gauges, brown leather bench seating, and a vinyl-covered rumble seat with step pads on the rear fenders for easy access. A Secretaudio SST system with Bluetooth connectivity provides hidden modern audio without disrupting the vintage aesthetic. The tan manual convertible top includes a matching boot and is in great shape.

Underneath, the car is clean and features a dual exhaust system that sounds as good as it looks. It rides on Coker Classic wide whitewall radial tires, mounted on custom red spoke wheels with chrome beauty rings and Ford V8 center caps.

This Cabriolet is the product of a no-expense-spared, high-quality build that combines classic design with tasteful modern upgrades. A rare opportunity to own a 1937 Ford Cabriolet hot rod—ready to show, drive, and enjoy.
