First let me start by saying this is a running, driving, shifting
and braking example...Ill get to that later. The Shoebox Ford built
from 1949-1951 was a highly popular automobile amongst civilians
and commercial duty with its highly durable Flat Head V8, not to
mention high performance for the time. This particular car is
believed to be a "Upper Penninsula" of MI car its entire life and
is thought to be a retired police cruiser. It is a stripped down
version with out turn signals. The body is as-is and is not great
but salvageable if a body restoration was going to be performed.
This Ford has received a full mechanical restoration including a
rebuilt transmission, complete brake job, axle bearings and all
seals, front end rebuild including king pin, upper and lower
control arms and shocks, exhaust and fuel system. There is rust and
the chrome is not good. However, this is a turn key Flat Head that
starts perfectly, does not leak or smoke and goes down the road
very nicely. There is a also a complete brand new wiring harness
that accompanies the car as well. The original build date November
13th 1950 and it was the 27th made that day. It was delivered in
paint code G or Sea Island Green. All of the work performed has
been in the last year. The Ford code is DA70AGB13L27. The owner is
part of the Early Ford V8 Club and did the work himself. He has
about $3,000 in mechanical parts and his time.
