You’ve probably seen the RC car or toy versions of the 1936 Ford 5-window coupe customized by Jesse James and the crew at West Coast Choppers. Recently, we were lucky enough to see the car itself (which came with some of the collectibles it inspired) in all its modified glory. The roof was chopped eight inches and the body was coated in an eye-catching metallic purple, then set on steelies wrapped in wide-whitewall tires. To make this build even more unique, James and the WCC team added a Nash pickup grille and the taillights from a 1936 Bugatti. The interior was decked out with black and purple leather upholstery, and a colorful snake motif on the dashboard. Under the hood is a Chevy 350ci V8 that breathes fire through a flame thrower-style exhaust. This truly distinctive custom went to the highest bidder for $95,700 at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Scottsdale Fall Auction.
