This is an old hot rod a picked up a few months ago that needed to be resurrected. It was a classic coupe that has been converted to a Sports Coupe. Small “010” Block Chevy, Lake Headers, older Edelbrock valve covers and intake. Dual point Mallory Distributor. Turbo 350 trans, shifts hard. Runs real strong. The rear end is a Chevy 10 bolt from a 70 Camaro, ladder bars with buggy spring and air shocks. Front end is traditional Ford with 40 Ford drum brakes, hair pins, Pete & Jake chrome shocks. I just had the radiator rodded out, steering box rebuilt, carb rebuilt. New water pump, master cylinder, rear brake cylinders and front pads. Car stops nice. The rear tires and wheels are brand new. The front tires are in good shape with lots of tread. The body is original 29 Henry Ford steel. The grill is 34 Ford truck. The little hot rod is supper cool the way it is but it could use some rear fender well patch panels and driver side rear quarter panel (behind driver door). The doors are solid. The paint is an old flame job that defiantly showing its age but still looks bitchen and fits the car well. The top has been chopped 4 inchs. The doors do have glass that rolls up and down nice but the driver side is cracked. The car is a nice driver but these are the things I would do still: Rewire, still more play than I like in the steering, top and full size fan shroud, I have to watch the engine temp on hot California days. $15,500 obo Great Little Hot Rod!
