-Front Disc Brake Conversion

The exterior on the 51 Ford has been refinished in Black and is in great condition. The paint is 30+ years old and does show some small cracks and bubbles in a few spots, but we just completed a 20 hour color correction and detail on the car so she is looking the best she has in over 2 decades. The fenders are all arrow straight and all body lines are correct. The underside of the car is excellent with no rust or prior floor pan repairs. The chrome is very nice original with the expected few small dings or blemishes, but over all is gorgeous for original condition. The car is riding on nice wide whitewalls with the dog dish hubcaps.
The interior is in great shape all around. The grey and black interior is also showing very well for its 30 plus year old age. The Art Deco styling and bakelite knobs and dials are all in outstanding shape. The dash and door panels look like new. Amazing how well it has been kept as well as restored where needed.
Mechanically, this Ford runs great. The motor provides ample power to move the car around comfortably and the 3 speed manual shifts as it should. Clutch engages confidently. The front end work and disc brake conversion make this car enjoyable for a myriad of uses from car shows to running errands. The car starts right up and runs so quiet its hard to tell its running. The car was checked front to back and starts up like a top, and stops the way it should. This car is ready to cruise!
All in all, this is one very clean and very respectable '51 Ford. This car is a great example of a solid car which has been well taken care of and is a car you can be proud to drive. These 50's era cars are becoming harder to find as well preserved examples such as this one. Plus you cant deny the cool history this car brings to the table as well! Please email or call with any questions and we can help with shipping quotes and arrangements. We also welcome International buyers. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Mesa, Arizona.
