For Sale: 1958 Ford Custom in Lutz, Florida

This is the car for those who wants a bit of fun with their classics. After all, a 1958 Ford Custom 300 dressed in full Tampa Police livery is the kind of car that's going to get you invited to everything from parades to charity events.


This one is believed to be a true Tampa Police cruiser, which is always cool. Even without that, a '58 Ford is already a pretty desirable car. After all, it's the best in post-war styling with wraparound chrome bumpers, an extra wide grille, jet-inspired taillights, and a wraparound windshield & back window. Plus, you'll love the details like the full-length trim line with artful design on the rear doors. And only heightening this vintage appeal is the police livery. Proper decals on the doors, a spotlight, and three red lights on top all remind you of a time when solving a crime meant returning a homemade pie. And nothing beats the sound of the old-school mechanical siren.


Inside, you have great-looking two-tone door panels, new headliner, and two rows of bench seats with comfy cloth inserts. So we doubt you'll be carting around any offenders in the back, but this full-sized Ford has plenty of room to carry family and friends when it's parade time. It's a little hard not to feel like Barney Fife the moment you slip behind the classic Ford steering wheel and gaze at all the classic police pieces, like the two-way radio and handcuffs.


Under the hood, this one looks ready for police business. This Ford 332 cubic-inch motor means you have V8 power to chase down trouble and push it out of town. You'll love details, like the blue accents and the "Interceptor Special" badging on the air topper. This is even believed to be the original motor to the car. The V8 fires up and runs with the kind of eagerness that it's ready to serve its community. Plus, power steering and the column-shifted three-speed automatic transmission give you proper control.


The sale comes with a shop manual and even a Tampa police code book. You're not the only one who is tempted by this Ford's authority, so hurry up and call today!
