Up for sale is my primary hotrod for the last 10+ years. Car was finished about 11 years ago with details finished since. Car has been driven on several 2,000+ mile drives with no issues. Car is reliable and has a solid mix of traditional and modern parts to make maintenance simple. I built the car to feel gritty and broke-in. The car cruises effortlessly at 70 mph. The Cadillac has good torque and the quickchange is geared to do 70 mph at 2,000 rpm. On my last trip to So Cal, was getting 21/22 mpg at 75 mph. The car tracks down the road straight and is fun to drive. The quickchange gear noise is barely noticable, not overwhelming. ***Car is registered and titled in my name with an Oregon 1932 Ford RD (Roadster) title 18xxxxx serial number stamped in frame.
