1933 Ford Roadster WWII Tribute, Downs Body & Chassis, Steel Fenders Green

Vehicle Description

1933 Ford Roadster, WWII Tribute, Downs Body & Chassis, Steel Fenders & Hood, 383ci SBC, TH400 w/ RMV, Currie 9 Posi This ’33 Ford is a purpose-built, period-inspired WWII tribute that blends traditional hot-rod DNA with thoughtful, name-brand components. The look is authentic and intentional: hand-painted graphics, DuVall-style brass windshield, Dan Fink grille, real aluminum bomber seats, and a proper big-n-little wire-wheel stance. Underneath the skin, it’s a serious driver with a Downs body and chassis, a stout small-block, and a TH400 with a reverse-manual valve body for positive, driver-controlled shifts. Highlights Downs fiberglass roadster tub on Downs chassis; steel front fenders and hood 383ci Small-Block Chevy V8 (streetable, strong pull), Griffin aluminum radiator for reliable cooling TH400 automatic with reverse-manual valve body (RMVB) and ~2,500-rpm stall converter Currie 9 smoothed rear housing with 3.55 Posi for balanced street performance DuVall-style brass windshield; Dan Fink grille Wheel Vintiques wire spokes: 17 rear / 15 front for classic big-n-little stance Lokar hardware (shifter, linkages, details) Hand-painted WWII-era tribute graphics (not vinyl) Trunk-mountable replica machine gun display (non-functional prop for shows) Numerous quality touches and period-correct details throughout Up front, the Dan Fink grille sets the tone clean, traditional, and high quality. The DuVall-style brass windshield delivers the right pre-war profile while the hand-painted nose art pays homage to WWII iconography without looking contrived. Steel front fenders and hood give this car the right heft and panel crispness, while the smoothed Currie 9 out back and the staggered Wheel Vintiques spokes finish the silhouette like a proper lakes-style roadster. Drivetrain & Chassis Engine: 383ci SBC with the right street manners—torque on tap and a healthy idle; Griffin radiator keeps temps in check. Transmission: TH400 with RMVB—shift it yourself through the gears; 2,500-stall converter pairs well with the cam and rear gear. Rear: Currie 9 smoothed housing, 3.55 Posi—a smart compromise for both cruise nights and highway stretches. Chassis: Downs frame engineered for rigidity; the car tracks straight and feels planted. Interior Real aluminum bomber seats for a purposeful, warbird-inspired cockpit (minimal padding—true to the theme). Lokar shifter and hardware for precise, clean operation. Straightforward, driver-first layout with a focus on function over frills. Tribute Details WWII-style hand-painted graphics done the right way by hand so it ages with character. Built to be driven and shown; it presents well and turns heads, but it’s not a trailer-queen museum piece. If you’re looking for a ’33 roadster that honors wartime heritage with credible hardware and real road manners this WWII Tribute delivers the brief.
