The TV show Sons of Anarchy gained a massive following throughout its seven seasons on FX thanks to performances from Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, and Katey Sagal as they portrayed an outlaw motorcycle club in the fictional town of Charming, California. But the show also managed to portray the MC authentically thanks to David Labrava, a former Hells Angel who served as a technical advisor and played Happy Loman, while the show also obsessed over real-life motorcycles, as well. Obviously, the passion behind the show ran deep, as proven by the fact that creator Kurt Sutter owned a sweet 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe that was hot-rodded to look long and mean. Now, Sutter's Ford is being sold on the auction website Bring a Trailer with all proceeds going to charity.
Showrunner's Show-Stopper
The Deluxe Coupe has been chopped, shaved, and frenched to accentuate the sleek lines and bulbous fenders. It also features a louvered hood, with smoothed running boards, red pinstriping, and rear-hinging rear doors. Those wheels are staggered American Racing Torq Thrust units measuring 14 inches up front and 15 inches at the back, hiding front disc brakes and rear drums.
Chevy Small-Block V8
Crammed into the tight engine bay, a Chevy small-block V8 has been installed and displaces 383ci. An Edelbrock carburetor, coated headers, and an aluminum intake manifold handle intake and exhaust, while the powerplant is mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox.
Fully Customized Interior With Billet Aluminum Accents
On the interior, billet aluminum features heavily, including on the flame-pattern steering wheel and dash, which houses a suite of gauges courtesy of Classic Instruments. Creature comforts include air conditioning, as well as a Kenwood head unit with touchscreen, navigation, a CD player, and Bluetooth connectivity. Sutter has reportedly driven the car approximately 4,000 miles and bidding currently sits at $3,100 with seven days remaining in the auction.
