Beautifully built 1939 Dodge Club Coupe Hotrod for sale. This special old Dodge was purchased by its current owners years ago as a stock, solid and complete driver for his wife to buzz around town in. Her husband couldn't help himself and embarked upon what turned out to be the professional, well-executed build you see here today.
This beautiful restoration occurred between 2006-2012 and has traveled just over 12k miles since its completion. It includes both keys and remotes, a plethora of documentation and receipts, and photos during the build.
The mechanical aspects of the car were carefully planned and executed to ensure a fantastic, modern driving experience and maximum reliability, and a ton of power. While I don't know the actual horsepower, I can safely say THIS CAR IS FAST!
It is powered by a 325ci Dodge Hemi bored .80 over with Hot Heads cam, Offenhauser intake with dual 4-barrel Weber carburetors fed by a Holley electric racing fuel pump. Shifting is tight and modern with a reliable 700-R4 Transmission and B&M shifter connecting to a 10-bolt 355 positraction rear end. It has a wonderful sounding growl with coated Sanderson headers and Hooker Aero Chamber dual exhaust.
Handling is tight with its Mustang IFS front-end, front and rear sway bars, and power steering. Braking is quick with its Wilwood power braking with front disc brakes. It has Ron Francis wiring throughout, along with a reliable Hunt Ignition system. It is a wonderful driving rod, easy to drive, and ready to go.
The exterior was beautifully restored. It was fully disassembled, stripped to bare metal, properly prepped and beautifully painted using Dupont chroma base paint, and finished in a blue/green factory, modern Chrysler color. The glass is in great shape all around, and all of the chrome, trim, rubber, and other pieces were either restored or replaced when reassembling.
The fitment of the body panels and trim was well-executed, giving the car an attractive, high-quality presence. The doors open easily by remote-controlled actuators. It rides on apple green steel rims with baby moons wrapped in Coker wide whitewall tires; 195/75 R15's upfront and 235/70 R15 in the rear. The color, quality, stance all add up to make it one of the best looking '39 Dodge Coupe out there!
Inside it has the modern comforts we all enjoy in our newer cars. Vintage Air Conditioning and Heating System, power seats, electric wipers, great sounding stereo mounted in the custom center console, power windows, and door locks, easily accessible remote cable trunk release, Flaming River tilt chrome steering column with a very comfortable leather-wrapped banjo wheel.
The ergonomics in this Dodge hotrod were carefully planned to ensure long trips would be relaxing and enjoyable.
The car comes with a clear California title and ships from Sonoma, California. Viewing for ready buyers by appointment only.
