Vehicle Description
1948 Ford Anglia Custom
The Anglia was created as a compact car manufactured by Ford UK and
was produced between 1939 and 1967. When designing their compact
car I doubt Ford had any inclination that the result would someday
be a unique classic that is a common target when building a pro
street car. The smaller bodies are less weight while also still
providing a very cool vintage look. Even better is shoving some
wide meats under the rear and making them spin. Don't let that
scare you though because although it has the right look for the
track this very nice Anglia Custom was built to be a streetable
show car. The car runs well around town and cruises down the
highway fine. The body is in good shape and painted a bright light
Blue. It has no problems standing out and gets a ton of attention
wherever it goes. The body is steel but the tilt front end has been
replaced with fiberglass. It sits on a boxed chassis and is rust
free throughout. The custom grill on the nose looks good as do the
tear drop taillights in the rear. The car has a great stance with a
slight forward rake and just looks extremely tough even when it is
sitting still. The Weld Racing wheels complete the look perfectly
and the tubbed rear makes plenty of room for the 18.5x36 Mickey
Thompson Sportsman tires.
Flip forward that tilt hood and you will expose the fresh, just
installed ZZ4 crate motor. It has had 250 miles put on it since
installed and runs extremely well. It has plenty of power and has
been nicely dressed up with finned valve covers and finned air
cleaner. Other nice add ons include the MSD ignition. The car has a
great sound through the Sanderson headers into dual exhaust that
exits out of the rear. Paired with the engine is a 4 speed
hydraulic clutch Muncie transmission and 9 inch Ford rear end. The
suspension is complete with a torsion bar front end and ladder bar
setup in rear with coilovers. The car is extremely fun to drive and
would keep highway cruisers and speed demons both happy.
The interior is done in a combo of Gray and Black. The high back
racing seats fit nicely in place with Black covers. If you ever
decided you wanted to make it more of a track car the 6 point roll
cage is sure to keep you safe. The dash has a unique setup with the
gauges with the white faced gauges angled towards the driver. This
gives you a clear view versus having to look through the tilt
steering wheel. An Autometer tach has also been added and is
mounted over the dash. The Pioneer AM/FM/CD player delivers a good
sound and the car also features a power sun roof which is also a
pretty unique feature. The windows are all power operated and the
switches located on the door panels. In the trunk you will find the
relocated battery with a cutoff switch.
If you are ready to have some fun in a great looking car for a
great price then look no further. Not only is it a unique car that
stands out but it was well built and has a new motor that should be
reliable for many years to come.
