1940 Ford Tudor "Sleeping Beauty" Art Chrisman 276 Camden Blown Flathead V8 Columbia 2spd 49K Actual Miles
Description
Aptly named "Sleeping Beauty", this 1940 Ford Standard Tudor V8-60 sedan resided within a Kansas Ford Dealer's showroom inventory for an amazing 37 years before it was 1st sold. Remaining virtually original, she would later make it to Southern California and now rested within the careful hands of well known So-Cal Hot-Rodders. With full respect to her low mile originality and a woefully under-powered original 60HP V8, the 50's style retro-rod transformation would begin. Completed during 2002, the final result includes a legendary "Art Chrisman" assembled 276/260HP Camden Blown Flathead V-8 and host of period style speed equipment. Will you be her next caretaker?
