Vehicle Description
This is a true old-school speed machine. In fact, while most 1923
Ford Roadster rod/racer machine are a more recent built, this has
more than a half-century of history. And while its legacy makes it
interesting, the 406ci V8 with dual quads on top make it
irresistible.
This one has the look of a true classic racer. In fact, the build
dates back to 1965. It has the right pieces like a Bird fiberglass
body, Speedway windshield frame, and the unmistakable look of
polished Cragar SS wheels on whitewalls. And you just know that all
those decals were EARNED over the years. But this isn't just a car
with history. The boldness of the Yosemite Yellow, the crisply
clear headlights, and overall quality tells you this is has been
given the right mix of respect and updates over the years. There's
even some nice pinstriping for flair.
The interior has a fresh and taseful look. Brand new vinyl interior
bench seating and carpet. The steering wheel feels grippy in your
hands, and your right one may never want to leave the B&M
shifter. The dash gives you all the essential gauges. And the large
Sun Super tach on the column and shift light seen thought the
windshield give you a very cool vintage-style head-up display of
what's the most important.
The classic Corvette-script valve covers may look vintage, but the
motor package is part of the updates later in life. This is a 400
cubic-inch V8 bored .30 to 406 ci total. That means you get small
block weight with big block displacement. Plus, on top of that are
two sets of Edelbrock 500 CFM four-barrel carburetors and an
Edelbrock intake. So this mighty motor knows how to inhale deeply.
Plus, it's a total package with a Summit cam, roller rockers &
lifters, aluminum Edelbrock heads, Mallory distributor, and Melling
high pressure oil pump. So it's a powerful package, and it really
knows how to bring the thunder. And you have a choice of the
headers feeding the side pipes, or you can use the cutouts to
really make this roar. This has a TH350 three-speed with manual
valve body and a Hurst line lock. It connects to a 4.11 rear end
with Positraction for powerful take-offs. Hairpins up front,
four-link in the rear, and power brakes complete this vintage
race-ready package.
When you have a cool racer with this kind of history, it's great to
also have magazine clippings to show it all off (that's why they
come with the sale.) This is a very cool blacktop hero, and it's up
for grabs. Call today!!!
