Classic cars have always been a canvas for innovation, and the 1934 Plymouth Coupe featured here epitomizes the perfect blend of nostalgia, power, and modern engineering. Designed and built by top-tier professionals, this car is a testament to what happens when performance and artistry collide.
Exterior Craftsmanship
Impatient Creations in Alabaster, Alabama, has outdone itself with this coupe’s steel body. It has been channeled and enhanced with custom modifications, including a filled roof and radiused wheel openings. Lexan windows complement the aerodynamic silhouette, while shaved door handles and drip rails complete the seamless design.
The dazzling paintwork, “Intense Blue Pearlcoat Metallic,” is protected by a base coat and clear coat finish. LED tail lights, billet headwinds headlights, and a mighty wiper system not only enhance visibility but also reflect the meticulous attention to detail. To ensure safety, a master battery disconnect switch rounds out the functional exterior features.
Chassis and Suspension: Built for the Strip
The foundation of this beast is a full tube chassis crafted by Jeffers Pro Cars in House Springs, Missouri. Made from chrome-moly and mild steel, the 14-point roll cage ensures safety while embracing a stretched 125-inch wheelbase.
Handling is taken care of with a Stiletto steering setup, a 4-bar front suspension, and 6-inch drop tube axles paired with single leaf springs. At the rear, a chassisworks 4-link suspension with coil-over shocks ensures precision on the drag strip. Wilwood racing disc brakes and Real Rodder wheels wrapped in Hoosier tires deliver impeccable stopping power and grip.
Heart of the Beast: A Chrysler HEMI Engine
Under the hood is a roaring 472-cubic-inch Chrysler HEMI engine, meticulously built by Howton’s Machine Shop in Hueytown, Alabama. This powerhouse features Hilborn mechanical fuel injection, Keith Black aluminum heads, and a forged 4.15” crankshaft.
JE pistons, Competition Cams rollers, and a Milodon oiling system work in unison to generate mind-blowing performance. The custom zoomie headers, coated for durability, emit an ear-piercing growl that’s music to any drag racing enthusiast’s ears.
Cooling this monster is a Meziere electric water pump and Griffin radiator, while the Milodon gear drive ensures everything remains in sync. Ignition is handled by an MSD 7AL box, proving that no detail has been overlooked in maximizing power output.
Transmission and Rear End: Harnessing Power
Power is transferred via a Chrysler 727 Torqueflite transmission, built by A & A Transmission in Camby, Indiana. With a B&M Pro-Stick shifter, reverse pattern setup, and a Lupo Dynamic 9-inch torque converter, it’s ready for anything the track demands. A Ford 9-inch rear end with a 4.56 Richmond ratio, Moser axles, and a spool ensure that power translates to blistering speed.
Interior: Race-Ready Precision
The cabin, courtesy of Colonel’s Custom Upholstery, is as refined as it is functional. Aluminum door panels and a steel floor provide durability, while the Jaz bucket seats and 5-point cam-lock harnesses guarantee safety.
The cockpit is fitted with a precision fire system and Auto Meter Ultra-Lite gauges, ensuring the driver has all critical information at their fingertips. A sleek, minimalistic design focuses on functionality, embodying the spirit of a true drag racer.
