Vehicle Description
You may see a vintage woody wagon on the road from time to time,
but this 1941 Ford Super Deluxe Woodie Restomod would prompt anyone
to do a double take. It's the result of an unusually thorough and
exacting modern build, with lavish attention paid to even the
smallest details both inside and out. Combine those timeless
good-looks with the power of a fuel-injected 4.6L V8 Crate motor, a
smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic, and a luxurious interior, and
you have an iconic restomod classic that stands out in even the
most distinguished of automotive crowds.
The ultra-clean, show-ready condition of that unique exterior draws
you in right away. You don't often see this kind of beautifully
sculpted Maple on cars of any vintage and it's on display here in
top form, with a uniformly smooth texture and even coloring from
front to back. Move closer and you'll see that the wood paneling
running from the doors on back is in stellar condition, with all of
the paneling having been thoroughly worked and finished to the
fantastic level you see before you. It matches the Ruby Red
Metallic paint perfectly, which also happens to be in top
driver-quality condition. The shine on the burgundy finish is
evident in our pictures (in fact it may even be understated), and
the miles-deep finish was obviously done by the hands of
professionals. They got pretty much everything just right with only
very minor imperfections to speak of, and the black vinyl roof is a
perfect period-correct touch that was laid down with great
expertise over the wood roof. From front to back, there are
brilliantly restored factory pieces that make this Woodie stand out
from its brethren - a pair of bright headlights bookending the
waterfall grille, the big clamshell hood and all of its glorious
refinished brightwork, and those bulging fenders front and back
with their crisp detailing. Chrome bumpers fore and aft add further
shine to the package, matching all the handles and stainless bolts
laid inside the woodwork. Out back, the ornate tailgate was
finished to the same high standard, with flanking taillights at the
sides and a third brake light incorporated in the center.
Everything is in such great shape, the wood, metal, vinyl, and
chrome alike, and if you've ever researched just how much time and
money it takes to get one of these Woodie Wagons to this level,
then you'd certainly respect the price point.
Inside those wood-paneled doors, the entire interior was totally
made over from scratch and the result is simply awesome. You can
see so much creativity and impressive workmanship - and there's
just so much to gawk at. The sculpted front bench is covered in
supple tan leather hides, matched by a similar bench in the rear,
and they were purposely selected for all-day comfort and luxury.
Plush burgundy carpets on the floors insulate the long wagon very
nicely, and the custom door panels match everything perfectly,
while up top the cathedral of wood you see is one of the most
beautiful parts of the classic Woodie wagons. It really takes a
master hand to get all that timber so straight and pretty, and when
you're riding in this Ford it feels like nothing else on earth. The
show-stopping Maple grain dash continues the master craftsmanship
inside, and ahead of the driver a full array of digital/analog
Omega Kustom Instruments that keep a close eye on the upgraded
motor under the hood. There's some welcome functionality included
as well - the center of the dash sports a beautifully configured
retro-sound AM/FM/AUX, with controls for a full custom R134a A/C
system just below it. You also get power windows, polished tilt
steering wheel, and a leather-wrapped billet steering wheel at the
head of the cabin. There'll be no shortage of passengers clamoring
to ride along in this one-of-a kind Woodie, but luckily this
interior offers plenty of space to accommodate them. And if it's
storage you require, there's absolutely loads of it behind the rear
seat, where everything has been finished with high-end matching
carpets.
An upgraded 4.6L V8 crate engine sits inside the well-detailed
engine compartment, dressed in all of its modern garb and powered
by a Holley fuel-injection system and contemporary components. A
Mustang intake cover adorns the top of the motor, with black valve
covers at the flanks, and the engine fits inside the finished bay
so neatly it's as if it was almost born there. There's only 14
miles on the crate motor, so it's obviously barely broken in, and
it teams with a 4-speed Ford automatic crate transmission that,
like the engine itself, is in top form with the same scant break-in
mileage, along with a towering overdrive gear allowing for easy
highway cruising. All new chassis wiring and plumbing was added to
up the dependability level, as well as an aluminum radiator and
electric fan to keep operating temperatures under control. In
addition to its substantial list of other attributes, this vintage
Ford is also a great driver in real world situations. Its power
steering makes navigation easy and its power brakes - with discs up
front - bring things to a stop with little effort. A set of painted
white steelies are adorned with correct beaty rings and Ford 'baby
moon' hubcaps, and they're wrapped in 195/60/15 front and 235/75/15
rear Cooper Cobra radials that help set the Woodie's cool
stance.
The Woodie Wagon has been a part of the American Classic landscape
for decades, but we must say, this particular 1941 Ford Restomod is
a category killer unlike any we've ever seen. Call today!
