For Sale: 1950 Ford Convertible in Lutz, Florida

You can tell they were extra thoughtful about the build, just in the little things. This includes like features like how the driver's door is on a keyless entry lock, and the climate controls are hidden in the center console to keep the dash looking smooth. Attentive builds like this are always about being award-worthy, and so some cut corners with the driving experience. That's what makes this one so special. The LS1 power is a big signal that they want you to drive this restomod. And the fully upgraded drivetrain feels tighter than anything you'd expect from the 1950s. So if you're looking for an all-around top-tier build, don't let this one get away. Call today!!!
