Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this way cool 1949 ford
Coupe. Between the patina exterior finish and the large V8, this
car is sure to be a fun cruiser. Providing the power to this
vintage coupe is a 425 CID V8 that had a complete rebuild less than
500 miles ago. When driving the vehicle, the engine definitely
shows that it has been rebuilt and pulls strong under acceleration.
This beauty also idles nicely. Keeping the engine cool are dual
electric cooling fans attached to an alluminum radiator. The fuel
is sent from a new gas tank to the engine via an electric fuel
pump. The car also features a new Kwik wiring harness for added
reliability and safety. Sending the power from that large V8 to the
rear end is a rebuilt Turbo-400 3-speed transmission that shifts
smoothly through the gears. The transmission also features a 2500
stall converter. The rear end is a 9" Ford Detroit locker that has
a final drive of 3.55 to allow for quicker acceleration. When it
comes time to slow down, the driver will appreciate the disc brakes
at all four corners of the vehicle. The tires on the vehicle are
whitewall Diamondback tires from BFGoodrich that have good tread
life left in them. Moving outside, the exterior of this sweet ride
is finished in a cool rustic maroon patina that really accents the
car and the era well. Ensuring that the patina stays looking this
good and doesnt deteriorate is a clearcoat over the whole body
using DuPont chemicals. All of the correct trim pieces are on the
car and have some pitting and patina that adds to the overall look
and feel of the vehicle. Also, the rear glass has been replaced.
Moving inward, the Interior has a very minimalistic and vintage
feel that goes along well with the patina finish on the body. The
front seats have been redone and feature a two tone grey cloth
patern. the driver will also appreciate the power steering and
power brakes that make the driving of this beauty very easy.
Overall this is a seriously cool car and it's solid mechanically.
