Vehicle Description
Want to kick your fall off in a unique, super slick cruiser that
drops jaws and sprains necks? You can always buy a nice Chevy -
Like everyone else... You COULD find a cool old Dodge and raise a
few eyebrows... Or, you can call RK Motors Charlotte and snatch up
this sweet '56 Ford Customline! Backing outstanding aesthetics with
390 cubic inches of proven Ford power, this svelte sedan packs
timeless custom appeal in a detailed, fully sorted restoration. And
if you're looking for a fun weekend warrior that mixes lasting
style with invigorating performance, it's just the good time you've
been waiting for!
CUSTOM BY DEFAULT
Treated to a ground-up, professional restoration that was completed
by someone who definitely knew their way around niche Fords, this
classy custom was methodically massaged back to flashy fifties
glory. After much detailing and finesse, the car's whittled and
solid profile stacked Metallic Burgundy two-stage under a glossy
layer of clear. At the front of that shine, a smoothed bumper
mimics polished parking lamps and a chromed grille, which parallels
a nosed hood and traditional halogen headlights. Those torches lead
polished trim spears, which split sculpted quarters, shaved doors
and bold, "V8" branded fenders. Dark-tint glass sits pretty behind
bright wipers and professionally polished frames. And at the back
of the car, a second smoothed bumper splits a decked trunk,
polished exhaust tips and sweet Blue Dot Taillights.
POWER BY FORD
In some enthusiast's minds, there's nothing worse than finding a
stylish Ford hot rod only to tilt the hood and discover something
akin to a generic Chevrolet small block. Well, fear not purists,
because this blue oval bombshell features 390 cubic inches of
proven FE V8 that's been graced with a dynamic duo of octane
snorting Edelbrock 4-barrels! Those carbs, wired to an electric
choke and a small Mr. gasket pressure gauge, surf a polished
Edelbrock intake under a polished Edelbrock air cleaner. That plane
pushes air and fossils through tough Ford heads, which tilt
polished valve covers between one Edelbrock breather, one Ford
Racing breather and a slick Metallic Burgundy block. At the front
of those heads, a hot Mallory coil fires a hot Mallory Comp S/S
distributor, which sequences sparks through loomed Taylor
ThunderVolt wires. Billet pullies spin a polished Edelbrock water
pump between a polished alternator, polished timing components and
a polished power steering pump. Cooling comes courtesy of a
polished aluminum radiator, which balances a trick Mr. Gasket
ThermoCap between spry SPAL pullers, a polished expansion tank and
corrugated tubes. Spent gases fall through traditional iron exhaust
manifolds. And this Ford's tweaked, Metallic Burgundy engine bay is
detailed with cool items like trick sticks, braided lines, trick
spinners, coated supports and a coated Edelbrock fuel pump.
BETTERING TRADITION
Throw this razor-sharp Ford on a lift and you'll find a sturdy
factory chassis that mixes traditional character with focused
upgrades. Shifts come courtesy of a choice Toploader 4-speed that
was professionally overhauled during the car's detailed
restoration. Motivation is provided by a familiar Ford 9-inch
that's finished with a posi-traction differential and smooth, 3.25
gears. Turns come courtesy of power-assisted steering. A polished
booster joins a polished master cylinder to jolt a traditional
combination of discs and drums. The engine keeps roaring thanks to
rowdy Flowmaster mufflers. The odometer keeps turning thanks to
Rocket Racing Rocket Fuels, which twist 195/65R15 Continental Conti
Pro Contacts in front of 235/55R17 Continental Conti Pro Contacts.
And the car's factory suspension has been carefully lowered and
upgraded with beefy traction bars.
CUSTOM BY DEFINITION
Pop this cool classic's doors and you'll find a tasteful custom
interior that was professionally installed during the car's
detailed restoration. Front and center, broad, leather-wrapped
buckets join a standard, leather-wrapped bench on a sea of stylish,
body-matched carpet. Those thrones, sporting full power adjustment
for the car's driver and front passenger, frame a custom console
that's fashioned around convenient controls for Vintage Air
conditioning and a short Hurst shifter. A painted dash floats a
polished instrument panel between polished pedals and crisp Dolphin
telemetry. Striped side panels front modern power windows. The
driver spins a polished and wood-rimmed steering wheel around a
tilting Flaming River column that's spiced with a MQQN Knee Knocker
Tach. A modern Kenwood head unit bumps a quartet of BOSS speakers.
And a custom upholstered trunk doubles as a cool trophy
display.
No doubt this exceptionally clean Customline is one of the coolest
cruisers on the planet! It offers the best of both worlds: a fully
restored classic that's attainable at a fraction of its build cost,
and a unique hot rod that looks good and runs great. Call, click or
