Tedious attention to detail and fit is how we would best
describe this very nice drop-top fat-fender Ford.
Originally restored by a Northeast school teacher several
years ago. Resting on a complete and thorough body off
restoration, there is an extensive file included that
breaks down just about every component, chassis, body
mounts etc. Showing only light patina/age/use, the Cabernet
paint is excellent, the panel fit appears as spot on and
the trim is simply spectacular. Moving along...
Let's talk about the hopped up period power, resting
under the hood is a professionally-built "Motor City
Flathead" 59A 286ci V-8 engine featuring 3 3/8 bore, 4"
Merc crankshaft, polished aluminum Offenhauser intake
manifold, dual "48" Stromberg carburetors & Offy cylinder
heads, Motor City full race camshaft w/adjustable lifters,
Isky valve springs, stainless Super Flow valves (unleaded
fuel friendly), Mallory electronic ignition, aluminum
radiator w/electric cooling fan, full flow oil system,
dual exhaust w/Smitty mufflers and more (see spec sheet).
Simply Sweet...
Transferring the smooth power is a floor shift 3-speed
transmission and 354 ratio rear differential. Now let's
get in! Very tight, tidy and stock appearing interior with
subtle upgrades. Features include factory style seating &
upholstery, rubber floor mat, Maple wood-grain dash &
garnish moldings, power convertible top, Ididit tilt
steering column & leather wrapped Banjo steering wheel,
VDO gauges in factory bezels, rebuilt speedo/clock,
rebuilt Wonder Bar radio, Clarion AM/FM/CD audio (glove
box mount), rebuilt Heat/Defrost and Newport 2-Speed
windshield wipers. No excuses and very nice...
