1937 Ford Custom Roadster – Multiple Award Winning, Magazine Featured, No-Expense-Spared Build

Offered here is an extraordinary, one-off custom 1937 Ford Roadster, the result of an uncompromising nine-year build combining American hot-rod engineering with world-class craftsmanship. Originally started in February 2005 and completed in May 2014, this car began life as a Rodline Club Cabriolet body on a TCI chassis, before being extensively re-engineered into a true hand-built two-seat roadster incorporating over 60–70 body and chassis modifications.

The vast majority of parts were sourced from the USA, and the finished car represents a no-expense-spared approach to building a show-quality hot rod with modern performance, reliability, and exceptional detailing throughout.

The build was featured in Custom Car Magazine – June 2014 issue, shortly after completion, highlighting the quality and originality of the project.
