For Sale at Auction: 1950 Ford Custom in Youngville, North Carolina

This is how to instantly stand out in a crowd in all the right ways. This Ford has a unique and recognizable style from the moment it comes into view. It looks good in a radiant Electric Green Metallic paint with a black convertible top and tan leather interior giving it an overall sleek appearance. Since this is borrowed from a more modern Ford color palette, you get to tell people this all-steel body still keeps its family lineage. It's a sleek finish that gets even smoother with all the custom details. You have the color-matched custom grille, '39 bumpers, and hidden door handles. There's also an added power dome in the hood, deleted trim, and they frenched the headlights, tail lights, antenna, and license plate. And of course, when you want to talk about a sleeker profile, nothing does it better than a convertible sleek black top. The stance is also awesome. This is lowered with air ride shock suspension so that the larger 18" CROCKET Racing wheels fill the wheel well even better and the extra meaty rear set is tubbed so that it contains all that rubber. It's a real street machine custom that's built to be driven and if you feel like showing it off, there's so much cool stuff that you're just a professional detail away from being award-worthy upon arrival.

The custom presentation continues when you open the door. The taupe leather interior paired by the black convertible top and sleek Haneline guages support the restomod feel that is a sure award winning classic. But most of all, you can tell this one was made for driving. You have high-back front bucket seats, an upgraded sports steering wheel on a tilt column, a Hurst Quarter Stick shifter and the single exhaust that gives that ultimate roar.

The engine bay has a shining and tidy package of serious power. This 350 Vortex tuned port injection V8 motor, fuel injected (cut off switch beside steering wheel), with air breather that all fuel the single exhaust muffler. There are also nice supporting components, like the electric cooling fans and an Optima battery mounted in the trunk for better weight distribution. As you look underneath, you can see the strong custom frame that's great to have on a powerful classic like this. And they gave you the right components for both power driving and good cruising, like the versatile four-speed automatic transmission, a stout 9-inch rear, auto meter RPM tachometer, power steering, power brakes, front discs and grippy ZR 18" tires.
