1931 Ford Cabriolet that was built in the late 1950’s by a father and son in southern California, then later featured on the cover of Rod & Custom magazine. The car had been stored away by its original builder in the early 1960’s until discovered in 2013 and as a result, it has remained in incredible condition. It still wears the original candy apple red paint that was applied by father and son in 1957 and the original white custom upholstery that was stitched by a well known Del's top shop. I have a few trophies from the big shows it was in and even the first trophy from a highschool car show. I also have the original show card that was displayed with the car. When I bought the car, it wasn't running. It had a broken piston and had been sitting that way for decades. I decided to pull the engine and repair it. The engine was in good condition otherwise and had originally been fitted with.060 over pistons, so I had a new set installed by a well-known local flathead builder. He also rebuilt the carburetor and fuel pump. All other parts are original to the 1950's build. The car has '40 ford juice brakes and I replaced the hydraulics for the brake system (Master cylinder and all four wheel cylinders). Now the car. runs and drives after more than 50 years! There are alot of details on this car and it remains in fantastic condition. Price is negotiable and may consider part trade. I can be reached at 360-547-3483
