This '34 Ford was built by Mick Jenkins of So-Cal Speed Shop and won the inaugural Gray Baskerville award at the Grand National Roadster Show in 2007. The car was sold shortly after the show for $125K, it's now for sale at a considerable discount.

The car is styled after the look of late 60s rods, its build features all the best materials utilized by some of the best names in the industry. With 336 miles since completion, this roadster is show ready, road proven, and is sure to be a serious trophy contender at any rod event worldwide.

The car features a Deuce Customs (Australia) body over an original 34 frame, fully boxed, stretched 2 inches, with rear rails bobbed and recontoured to match the body. The fit and finish is excellent, this car rides down the road without a squeak or rattle and the doors close perfectly. Behind the wheel the quality is immediately evident, this is not your average rod. The body is painted in PPG single stage black, it's about a mile deep and was expertly applied, true show quality paint. Industry veteran Eric Vaughn was called upon to punch the louvers and legendary pinstriper Dennis Ricklefs finished the roadster in contrasting red and white lines. If you follow rodding culture you're probably starting to get the picture.

The car has an original '34 grill laid back 1.5" at the top. Rear bumper is a one-off in stainless steel. Rear end uses a Currie 9" Ford unit with a Detroit Locker 3rd member running 3.50 gears. TCI sway bar and Aldan 225lb coil overs. Rear brakes use beefy Ford Police Special drums (11 x 2.25).

Windshield was chopped 4". Gas cap is a Mooneyes flip up with a custom made flange.

Really perfect wheel tire combo using So-Cal cast-aluminum circle track style wheels wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champions.

Custom vee'd Moon tank, nerf bars are one-offs as well. The brakes look like classic Buick drums but actually contain Wilwood discs hidden inside. More info at So-Cal Fake Brakes

The front end features a forged Magnum 4" drop I-beam axle, Vega cross steering, shocks by Pete and Jakes, a So-Cal panhard bar, hairpins and batwings. The entire exhaust was custom built for the car, the headers are ceramic coated inside. As you might imagine, it sounds wicked.

Expert interior job by Ridler Award winner Gabe Lopez, beautifully done in leather and German square weave carpet.

The So-Cal knobs in the center of the dash control the lights, turn signals and Vintage Air heater. The '46 Ford starter button on the left is for the horn. Classic Mooneyes gauges and a So-Cal 3 spoke wheel wrapped in leather by Gabe Lopez.

Glide seat, Limeworks steering column. The wiring was installed by Foothill Fabrications in Corona CA.

This roadster runs and drives as good as it looks. It features a blueprinted 396 motor bored 30 over with 9.5:1 forged pistons, Edelbrock cam & intake with MSD ignition and distributor. Mellings oil pump, original LS7 6qt oil pan, etc. Full specs listed below.
Transmission is a Turbo Hydramatic 400 with a TH350 flexplate and a performance torque converter all built by Toy Shop Transmissions in Pomona. Fantastic crisp shifting.

SMI built Holley 770 Street Avenger. Recessed firewall is signed by Tom Prufer and Pete Chapouris.

The undercarriage is as clean as the top and the attention to detail as exact.

Some rods look good and some drive good, this one does both. The car fires at the flick of the switch and runs like a scalded cat. Has a very streetable idle and a perfect exhaust note. Super comfortable ride with a nice tight suspension, you'll be impressed with how this car drives. For 380HP it's pretty well behaved when you want it to be but will launch like a bottle rocket if you put your foot into it.

Never in the rain since completion. Rolling art.
