Vehicle Description
Built to emulate the Ford concept car "Forty Niner" designed by
Chip Foose. Extensive custom work, it would cost over $100,000 to
duplicate at a professional shop! Less then 4,000 miles since
built.
EXTERIOR: Where to start, there is extensive custom body
alterations front to back. The roof is chopped 3 inches, pillar
post was removed to make it a hardtop, a 65 Mustang windshield and
78 Mustang rear window were installed (I have never seen another
one done like that). Radically custom one of a kind front end.
Redesigned grill, bumper removed, built in fog lights and really
modern headlights. The hood has been completely shaved smooth and
nosed, rear edge was raised. The sides were slabbed- handles and
stock trim removed and filled smooth. The trunk lid was shortened
and smoothed. The trunk, door and window open by remote. The tail
end is radically altered. Has frenched vertical taillights, custom
exhaust outlets, custom license plate surround and bumper is
removed. It has chrome 18 inch Ford Edge wheels. The paint has a
beautiful shiney finish but there are areas it has a textured,
bubbled look.
INTERIOR: Radically custom inside too. It has a full length console
that extends to the back making it 4 bucket seats. Driver's is
power. The console is also home to a Hurst Promatic shifter, air
ride controls, power windows, vintage heat and air controls. The
dash is from a 55 Desoto and features Dolphin gauges. Only 3,958 on
odometer since built. Has a tilt column with Billet Specialties
wheel with leather grip that matches upholstery and Ford script on
the horn button. The seats, custom made door panels and headliner
all match. Has Kenwood stereo with CD changer and premium Polk
speakers.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has a Ford 5.0 V-8 motor with Edelbrock intake,
Holley carb and electronic ignition. Custom fabricated air cleaner,
inner fenders, firewall, bottom of the hood are all color matched
to the body. It has power steering, power brakes, serpentine belt,
chrome valve covers and more.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The compartment was boxed, bottom of trunk lid
had a custom cover made. It was all very neatly upholstered to
match the interior. Floor is carpeted. Has custom prop rod and
remote control latch. Behind the panels are the battery and on
board compressor for the air ride.
UNDERSIDE: Upfront has completely rebuilt Mustang II front end with
tubular control arms and disc brakes. Bottom of the motor is still
clean, has new starter. It's mated to a C-6 automatic trans with
custom made teans mount. New driveshaft leads back to a Ford 9 inch
rear. In back it has tubular control arms and air bags. Brakes were
all redone, new lines and hoses, e-brake is hooked up. Has very
neatly bent dual exhaust system. The floors and frame are clean
original. There is a battery cut off switch and a hidden back up
button to pop the door open.
This is truly a one of a kind, you won't park next to another one!
Very similar to the Ford prototype that was very close to going
into production but didn't. Here is your chance to get a very
special car.
