Older iron that is together and rolling is hard to come by in any useable form, so whenever we see a reasonably-priced car come up for sale, normally we wouldn’t hesitate to show it off. Certainly a 1941 Ford V8 would warrant a look, right? Sure, it’s rough, but there are four wheels down on the ground, there’s at least a starting point to the body, and according to the ad, the engine will turn over but needs a new distributor. For $2500, that’s not a bad starting point. Then you take one look at the body, and the first thing you will see is…clown.
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns, and if you even have slight issues with makeup-wearing circus freaks, then this isn’t the potential hot-rod project for you. An attempt was made at figuring out what the “Abdallah Clowns” were, and I’m taking a shot in the dark that it’s related to a Shriners group, but every time I entered that into the search bar I wound up with tons of reading on the Qur’an. It’s listed as a Ford Coupe, which means either the seller is confused or this thing met a chop saw at some point in it’s life. It isn’t pretty, but there’s enough here to start a project. We’d recommend hauling this Ford to the sandblaster pronto…not to check for rust, but to remove those clowns from off of the car.

(Thanks to Ron Ward for the tip. No, really…thanks for the nightmares. I’m gonna see that face in my dreams.)
Now I know what to get you for your birthday.
2 1/2 K? I’d rock the shit outta that….how about get the brakes etc up to par, stinkin hot flathead, and leave the body as is…..
I’m pretty sure that one is a coupe that got the Sawzall treatment.
But why is there a stove pipe on the rear package tray?
Because clowns.
You really want to delve in to the motivation behind their behavior?
Aaaand…Bryan is now on the Fed’s black list for doing terrorist searches. haha
But yeah, definitely a coupe with the roof cut off. Wrong windshield pillar/cozy wing….and just look at that quarter….
sorry guys, that thing is (was) a 2 door sedan….look how vertical what’s left of the deck lid is…. a coupe would be more horizontal
I used “coupe” as a generic term to state that it obviously wasn’t a true drop top. Shame on me! lol
Your “Google-fu” is weak…

Thank you for being so well informed!
As I have a morbid fear of clowns I think I’d run a mile just thinking about this – and that clown looks very like the supremely scary Pennywise from Stephen King’s It – we all float down here indeed!
Yikes!
Want a balloon, Geordie?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
