1947 Ford 'Patina' Derelict Rat Rod F-100 Pickup
Tired of the polished, "Number's Matching" Showcars, and the 'politics' that generally surround the judging?... this is the car for you. We have found this car gets more 'attention' from the crowds than ANY Show Car we have ever owned/showed.
This Rod is an original example of an original, (titled) 1947 Ford Pickup transformed into a rolling Work of Art.... Customized and mounted on a modern drive train so, one has the Best of Both Worlds. This is a First Cabin Build , essentially a 'new' Truck with an Old Body. The entire frame has been custom built, just like a race car, from 3x2 square tubing by professionals. It is fitted with a fresh 350 Chevy 4 bolt-main & Competition 202 Heads with just 2,060 miles/Thumper Cam, Edelbrock Manifold and 500cfm Carb (resulting in 350hp), Header Caps w/ Full Muffler System, Fresh 250c (350) Automatic Transmission with Lokar Floor Shift / E-Brake, Aluminum Radiator with Improved Shroud, All New Front End w/ Power Disc Brakes, Adjustable Rear Air-Ride Suspension with onboard compressor, and it carries a S-10 Rear Diff. The top has been chopped 4" / body channeled and is fitted with a Vintage Fulton "Sun Shield" Visor. Incredibly, many of these in bargain-basement-form do not even have a Full Light Package. This Rod has working Headlights (Hi/Lo Beam), Signal Lights, 3rd Brake Light, original Glass & Chrome Cab Lights and even Dome Lights. Plus, a full set of Gauges to include; Speedo, Tachometer, Fuel, Oil and Temp + Vacuum Windshield Wipers. Wide Whitewall Tires are by Coker. Seats are mint, fully padded and covered in Truck Grade Vinyl but, with Mexican Blanket 'Cover', Bandolier & 1850 Pistola*, Real Monkey Skulls* & "Rust In Peace" Nameplate*... while the Steering Wheel is retained as the original Ford unit. We have also added a Vintage Ford Truck Dash Emblem, "V8" on the Air Tank, Real Mink Mascots* and a wealth of "Rusty Gold" items like Vintage Wood Prohibition Beer Box*, Old Liquor Barrel*, Vintage Oil Dispenser Can, Galvanized Moonshine Tub, 40's Accessory Ashtray w/ Motel Matches* and More. She even carries a Show Card for Car Shows. Please note: this is not a Childish-Looking, Box of Bolts covered with Gothic Dragons 'n Spears & a crying Little Boy Doll leaning on the front fender- it IS a very safe, professionally built Rod that has passed a 23 point NSRA Inspection (w/ Safety Certificate). The ALL-Henry-Steel body comes from a gas station and saw life as an original,' real' Service Truck. The Perfect Addition to any car collection. $34,500
