This is the real deal,an all steel,all Ford hot rod.Originally built in the 1950's but never finished,in the mid 1990's it was finished for me by the legendary Howard Towne of Towne's Early Ford Repair here in New Hampshire.I am the first owner as a hot rod and this is the first time offered for sale.It has:1932 front end with reverse eye spring;3:78 to 1 banjo rear;1939 toploader;and best of all 1949 flathead 6 with dual carbs on an Edmunds intake,dual exhaust via custom Mike Yoder header.Body is chopped 3",full a hood,original 1932 grill shell,bobbed model a rear fenders,front cycle fenders made from 1936 Ford spare tire trim ring;steering is drag link and 1949 Ford box.This car has been in 4 magazines-see 2002 MAGNETO for good article.runs and drives great.This is a hot rod NOT a street rod,if you know the difference then you know the value.A well known East Coast coupe and a rare opportunity.call 603 989 9814 for details.THANKS.

Yes,the brakes are indeed 40 Ford juice all around with all new parts;drums were turned to proper tolerances.Front shocks are early adjustable friction type-they look very cool and actually work pretty good.Charlie.
