Vehicle Description
1947 Ford Convertible If you are in the market for a custom hot rod
look no further! This awesome 1947 Ford Convertible is all
California custom and was once owned by drag racing legend Kenny
Bernstein. If that name is familiar to you then you should know
that on top of being a cool custom, this hot rod performs! The all
blacked out exterior creates a very sleek look and the car looks
perfect cruising down the road. The paint was very well done and is
accented with the perfect amount of chrome and stainless. A split
style original windshield is in place up front and framed in nicely
polished trim. With all the glass cars on the market now it is also
important to mention that this classic is all steel with no
evidence of rust, body, damage or anything needing repair. The body
sits on a boxed frame that has been painted to match. The black
convertible top has a 2 inch chop and the body has been modified
with frenched headlights and taillights. It has also been nosed and
decked creating a very smooth exterior. Custom door handles are in
place and inset into both doors. A flip down license plate is
mounted in the rear giving it a cool look at car shows while still
allowing it to be legal on the streets. The car rolls around on
Billet Specialties wheels which have a great shine. Wider tires are
in place in rear and all of the tires have plenty of life left in
them. Getting those tires spinning is the 454 Chevy motor that has
been bored 60 over to 468 ci. This is then fitted with a Street and
Performance injection system that is completely chromed out. Only
polished or chrome components were used and the smooth top valve
covers look really sharp. All braided lines are were used and a
custom panel was created to top the radiator creating a very clean
appearance. The engine runs extremely well and sends power back
through the Turbo 400 transmission into the Ford 9: rear end. It
was set up with 2:90 gears making it a great long distance highway
driver. A Mustang II style front end was added and the car has a
great ride. The interior is done in all Black leather and is
extremely comfortable. Bucket seats are found up front and sit to
each side of a custom made center console. The dash is entirely
custom and is painted Black to match the exterior. Custom gauges
are in place and all working properly. An after market Pioneer
stereo system was added and delivers and awesome sound. Air
conditioning vents were added to the dash as well which makes for a
much cleaner look than you would get with an underdash style unit.
The convertible top is all power assisted and easily operated via a
switch. The trunk of the car is nicely done in Black as well and
houses the hidden batteries and 12 disc CD changer. This
professionally built custom can be in your garage for a deal at
$75,000.00!
