ESTATE SALE – 1937 Ford Roadster Retro Mod for sale. This beautifully restored retro-mod roadster has been lovingly brought to its current award-winning condition by the owner since 1995. A two-time class winner at the Grand National Roadster Show in 1999 & 2000. A barn-find in ‘95, this Ford immediately became a labor of love over 2 decades. In 2017-18 all new running gear was replaced. It is now being offered to the public by his estate. Brought to the island of Maui, HI in 2022 to enjoy while in retirement and before his passing, it has been driven sparingly and always stored in a properly ventilated garage.
SHIPPING FROM MAUI TO CA IS NEGOTIABLE!
Henry Ford produced only 1250 in this last year of the Roadster.
No expense has been spared to properly bring this classic to life, while bringing great pleasure to its owner, his wife and the retro-mod community in CA and HI.
