Details

The sister to Boyd Coddington's iconic '40 Ford Coupe, this is the one-of-a-kind Club Coupe he was building at the time of his death. This car was finished by Hot Rod Investments of Arizona in conjunction with Boyd's wife Jo and his sons Boyd Jr. and Chris. The restoration finish was exactly like Boyd had designed. This final build took in to consideration all of Boyd's experience, creativity and the 'Boyd look.' It is an absolute piece of timeless art, starting with a hand-formed aluminum single-piece removable hardtop created by the legendary Marcel Delay and Sons. It has numerous body modifications, including a custom-boxed chassis, Heidts double A-arm chrome IFS with chrome coilovers, Corvette-based IRS with quad-chrome coilovers, power rack & pinion steering, aluminum fuel cell and chrome disc brakes. Additional body modifications included new floor pan, new firewall, shaved handles, lowered windshield and frenched headlights. The power comes from an LS1 producing 430hp, a LS1 cathedral-port intake manifold, a 4L60E A/T, 102mm throttle body and ceramic-coated headers. The engine bay is finished with a Griffin dual-fan aluminum radiator, polished aluminum serpentine system and all-chromed components. The interior includes all-leather upholstery, including an embroidered Boyd signature on the back wall of the trunk and on the side door panels, custom dash, Dakota Digital instruments, tilt column, Alpine Bluetooth receiver and USB/satellite-ready. The ride is comforted with Gen II Vintage Air, Mercedes-Benz carpeting, LED courtesy lights, power windows and remote-operated doors. Finishes include legendary Boyd Black cromax chroma base paint system and the famous original Boyd Coddington 17' billet wheels complete with Boyd signature center caps, each of which are no longer produced. Also included is the original Boyd Coddington rendering of the car prior to the build and a Boyd Coddington Certification of Authenticity. It has less than 100 break-in miles.
