For Sale at Auction: 1946 Ford Super Deluxe in Columbus, Ohio

This 1946 Ford Super Deluxe custom coupe is powered by an H&H Flathead-built 59A Flathead 284ci stroker V-8 engine mated to a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gears. The engine features a SCAT rotating assembly that was dynamically balanced, ported, polished and relieved and is topped with Offenhauser cylinder heads, a S.C.O.T. blower and dual Stromberg 97 carburetors. Additional engine equipment includes MSD electronic ignition and handmade headers. The front suspension features a Pete & Jakes dropped axle, split wishbones, transverse spring and Vega cross-steer steering. The rear suspension was upgraded to a parallel leaf-spring setup. Stopping is provided by power disc brakes with a Wilwood brake booster. Built by Ornduff Hot Rods and Bruce's Rod Shop in Texas with receipts totaling more than $170,000, the vehicle was completed around 2011 and has accumulated less than 1,000 miles since completion. Extensive metalwork was performed to achieve panel fitment and body alignment. The exterior is finished in Dynamic Maroon and features frenched headlights, bear-claw door latches and a smoothed and recessed firewall. The underbody is painted body color over Lizard Skin sound-deadener. The interior features a Glide adjustable bench seat upholstered in Spinneybeck hand-dyed Telluride leather. Additional interior details include a restored dashboard, NOS gauges, Stewart-Warner gauges, column-mounted tachometer, 1940 Ford Deluxe steering wheel, handmade stainless-steel clutch and brake pedals, and a skull shift knob. The S.C.O.T.-supercharged Flathead engine was built by H&H Flatheads in La Crescenta, California. This car remained with the same family for more than 70 years after being purchased by the previous owner's grandfather in 1951.
