Equipment
Ford V 8, Holley four barrel, automatic, red steel wheels, hubcaps, trim rings, steel bed floor, stained oak bed side boards, brass headlight shells with hand pinstriping. Orange peely paint, good old tuck and roll upholstery. Old custom with fresh paint. Represented as timed on the salt in July 1950 at 95.7mph, not with the ohv Ford V 8 under the hood today, however. An intriguing street rod loaded with 50s features. The history is a bonus.
Market commentary
The car card claims the engine is a 350 Chevy but its been cleverly disguised in a Ford block, heads and valve covers. Aside from that, however, this is a cool old steel bodied street rod. Its condition isnt the greatest but it is sound and reasonably presentable. Further establishing its history could make it worth restoring, especially if it could go back to its 50s driveline. Until then it can be driven and enjoyed confident also that it is worth all the modest price paid for it.
