Posting for a friend of mine . . Needs the room for his other toys. :D:D:p
The car was in July 2011 Rod and Custom Readers Rides.
The write up they had describes the car to a T.
Runs super and Pa inspected...this is a Turn key car. Drive anywhere.
asking price is $14,000 obo...
Car is in Altoona Pa.
Owners name. Steve Dively.
You can call the owner at. 814-942-6005.
Or you can contact me through PM here with your number or questions and I will give it to him or answer to my best ability.. More pics and the rest of the article can be seen at Rod and custom. Link on bottom of page.
it’s difficult to find a shoebox coupe in any condition in Pennsylvania. This ’49 was somewhat rough meaning lots of repair work was necessary before any modifying was done to it.
1 3/4 inches at the A-pillar, leaving the rear of the roof alone. Sounds odd, but it works! Other mods are a ’48 Buick grille, canted taillights, Pontiac side trim, and ’48 Continental door push buttons on the quarter-panels.
Engine and drivetrain.
A ’51 Flathead was souped with all the goodies, including aluminum heads, twin carburetors, and a magneto, backed by an overdrive trans, and rear gears in the stock axle from a ’51 Ford-O-Matic, which offers improved highway speeds and better gas mileage. Finished in the fall of 2010, the shoebox is fun to drive and gets plenty of use.
Pictures scanned from the mag.Can get more pics if needed .
