Fresh from the pages of Deluxe Car Kulture, Rod & Custom, and Rod & Kulture magazines, is this 30 all steel Street Rod.

1930 Ford Five-Window called "Kryptonite", running a fresh 401 Buick Nailhead, 6 Stromberg carbs, a brand new "old school" build. Already in magazines and has won plenty of trophies....

It is an amazing car that was built by some very talented professional builders. With only 1,200 test and tune miles it is like a newly built car from the sixties. That era was the inspiration for this awesome show winning coupe. There is a lot going on here so I will break it down for you like this:

The body is chopped 2.5", channeled 6" inches, one of a kind fabricated firewall, metal roof skin, dimpled drilled visor, and motorcycle gas cap. The grille is from a 32 Ford with handmade insert. The custom Candy-apple Green & Pearl White paint with custom scallops and pin stripes are simply eye popping! The stripes are under the clear coat so you can wax it up at the car show and not worry about putting distortion in the stripes. The results speak for themselves.

The unique power plant is a Buick 401 "Nail-head" V-8 with Drag Star long intake, 6 Stromberg carbs, and Sanderson lake headers with baffles. The wiring and final tune up was completed by our own mechanics Clint and Craig. It sounds intense and runs fantastic! A MSD and Pertronix electronic ignition set up fires the powerful Buick motor. A Buick Turbo 400 automatic transmission feeds the GM 10 bolt posi rear end.

The modified Ford frame features '32 rails, a front 4 link suspension and coil springs are out back. Firestone period correct wide white walls are 15 inch with the ole cheater slicks on the rear. The front brakes are disc with Buick covers and the rear are heavy duty drums. The interior has some very unique touches.

The aluminum bomber seats with engine turned seat backs and sides are one of a kind. The upholstery is white pearl vinyl. The metal dash is filled with handsome working gauges. The shifter is a custom unit also.

This build took on a life of its own and the final results screams sixties magazine quality with the today technology. You can just imagine how much time and money went into this truly one of a kind rod. Make it yours today and get ready to make all your street rod buddies jealous.
