Owls Head Transportation Museum is excited to offer for this sweepstakes one of the most iconic legends in American Automotive history, the 1936 Ford 5 Window V8 Coupe. Classic, curvaceous 1930's styling and a powerful stance create a winning combination of visual beauty and drivability. This well restored 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe has undergone a 1940's era customization creating an automobile that combines classic early Ford V8 feel with improved performance.
The lucky winner of this classic Ford 5 Window V8 coupe will have a vehicle that looks as good at a show as it does on the go. The exterior sports a high-quality jet-black finish combined with classic black wall tires creating a beautiful yet aggressive image. The interior of this vehicle is exquisitely outfitted with a cloth gray headliner, dark gray leather upholstered seat and door side panels with matching high-quality carpeting all around. An exceptional wood grain painted dash area compliments the full complement of gauges and the classic "banjo" style steering wheel. Adding to drive comfort on both hot and cool days, this Ford has a crank down rear window, crank out front windshield, and period correct accessory heater.
Underneath, this 1936 Ford 5 Window Coupe was built from the ground up on a 1940 Ford Chassis. Typical of early customs builds of the period, this coupe has a rebuilt 255ci Mercury V8 engine complete with Edelbrock cylinder heads, dual Stromberg G97 carburetors, an electronic ignition system, and an accessory electric fan for added cooling behind the radiator. All this power is delivered through a three-speed manual transmission. The powerful look of the car is augmented by its riding on 7.50-16' tires in the rear and 5.50-16" tires in the front.
Do not miss the chance to WIN this classic 1940's era customized 1936 Ford 5 Window V8 Coupe, while supporting a good cause!
