This is a cool car! Restored to show and go condition. All steel original 40 Ford with tasteful vintage style modifications. Under the hood you will find a performance Flathead V-8 that runs smooth. It has also been upgraded with a 12 volt system, power disc brakes and seatbelts. High quality throughout!
EXTERIOR: Beautiful all steel body with no rust or damage straight and it is straight as an arrow. The doors shut like new! The cowl vent still opens. Painted black with a mirror .....
finish, new welting between the fenders. It looks like all the chrome has been replaced or restored, it has an optional bumper guard in front. Nice red details throughout. It has the correct ribbed rubber on the running boards. The convertible top is a rich black canvas in excellent shape, it also has a matching boot. This car looks great with the top up or down. The windshields have been replaced. It is sitting on some good-looking red rims with Ford deluxe trim. Those are wearing radial white walls, fatter in back for a great stance.
INTERIOR: Professionally installed interior looks great! It feels great too, the seats were rebuilt and recushioned. The red Naugahyde upholstery was installed and stitched really well. Matching door panels look just as great and has original style handles that matches the exterior molding. Matching upholstered visors. It also has seat belts front and back for the family. I'm looking at a very clean dash. The instrument cluster is mint, the metal is painted real nice, knobs are excellent. It has a clean deluxe steering wheel, the 3-speed on the column has a cool eight ball knob. There's a modern temperature gauge mounted below the dash. Nice cut carpet with bound edges.
MOTOR COMPARTMENT: Wow, this is very cool! It has an old school high performance Flathead V8. It's rebuilt with finned aluminum Edelbrock heads, an aluminum Edelbrock intake with triple carbs wearing cool forward facing aluminum air cleaners. It looks fresh as can be, all the components look like new including the fuel pump, distributor, coil etc. I like the polished tubes over the plug wires and the polished radiator tubes. It stays cool with an aluminum radiator, an engine fan and an auxiliary electric fan. Upgraded to a 12 volt system with an alternator which is a big improvement. It gives stronger cranking power and brighter lights.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is boxed and upholstered to match the interior with a carpeted floor. It looks great, very well done.
UNDERSIDE: It looks great under here too! The chassis components are solid and have been cleaned up and painted a semi-gloss black. The floors are in excellent shape whit a thin undercoat. The dual exhaust has vintage style Smithy mufflers. The front end has been rebuilt and upgraded with a sway bar. The rear suspension was also redone and has new shocks. Upgraded with a power front disc brake system, the lines were replaced, and the e-brake is hooked up. Looking up at the motor it is fresh, so is the 3-speed manual trans.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the vacuum wiper motor, replace the fuel sending unit, lower window channel and both mufflers.
I truly love this car! I'm attracted to the looks, I think the vintage custom touches are very cool the quality sealed the deal for me.
