If you're searching for a thoroughly distinctive ride with maximum visual impact, you may have just found it! If aesthetics were calibrated like an amplifier, this 1930 Ford Model A Rat Rod "WCC Wrench Rod" would push the dial to "11". This steel-bodied standout was created by the skilled craftsmen at West Coast Customs and is a one of a kind take on the beloved Ford classic that has garnered a number of high-profile magazine cover stories and a TV special. With an outstanding faux patina satin green paint job, shaved door handles and chopped roof, this is a modded classic that's sure to draw attention. Smoothie wheels wrapped with whitewall tires are the perfect accompaniment to the paint scheme and the prominent "W" on the front radiator adds yet another unique touch to a car that's got plenty of them.
The black vinyl interior shows plenty of creativity, as well. Featuring a pair of aluminum racing buckets covered in black vinyl with custom embroidery that straddles a prominent gear lever on the transmission tunnel, this is one seriously memorable driving environment. A suitably distinctive aluminum steering wheel sits on the column and the color-matched dash just beyond it includes a set of Stewart Warner gauges that are in good working order. Climb in and lower yourself into the driver's seat, take hold of that tall shift lever sitting on the transmission and your mood is sure to be elevated.
This singular hot rod is powered by a 350-cubic-inch V8 that's been outfitted with a performance cam and is fed by a trio of Holley two-barrel carburetors. Turn the key while pressing the start button, and you'll no doubt be impressed by just how smoothly the engine idles as it sends an unmistakably aggressive note out of the set of open headers at its sides. With a four-speed automatic 700R4 transmission that offers an overdrive gear just behind it, this vintage Ford is unusually well-equipped for highway driving and just imagine the double-takes that will result when you do that. A custom drop-tube suspension with coilovers and rear trailing arms not only affords this ride with an awesome stance, but also adds adjustability and improves traction, while in front, an aluminum radiator pairs with an electric fan to keep temperatures under control.
