Description

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present this 1926 Essex Coupe. Finished in a rich, deep purple exterior, this eye-catching classic commands attention everywhere it goes. The bold paint is paired with a custom purple and silver interior, blending vintage elegance with a clean, contemporary edge. Slide into the plush cloth seats and you'll immediately appreciate the craftsmanship and detail throughout. Under the hood, this Essex is far from stock. A powerful 454 big block delivers exhilarating performance, enhanced by a dual Quick Fuel carburetor setup, a Weiand intake manifold, and MSD ignition components including coil and wires for reliable spark and improved throttle response. An aluminum radiator keeps things running cool even on long cruises, making this car as functional as it is fun. Backing the big block is a dependable Turbo 350 automatic transmission, paired with a classic Hurst shifter for that true hot rod feel. Stopping power has been significantly upgraded with Wilwood disc brakes, giving you confidence and control behind the wheel. The stance is just right thanks to aluminum wheels wrapped in aggressive Mickey Thompson tires, delivering both style and grip. Inside, the custom billet steering wheel adds a refined performance touch, while the upgraded Rockford Fosgate sound system with subwoofer and Kenwood radio bring modern audio quality to this vintage ride. Additional features like power windows add convenience, rounding out a build that's been thoughtfully upgraded without losing its classic soul. This isn't just a car, it's a statement piece, a weekend cruiser, and a timeless hot rod ready for its next chapter.
