For Sale at Auction: 1946 Ford Tudor in Newport Beach, California

Vehicle Description

Vehicle to be offered for sale June 2-4th, 2017 at Russo and Steele\'s 5th Annual Newport Beach California Auction. Please contact us for more information.\r\n\r\nTRUE PIECE OF ART 1946 FORD TUDOR FAT ATTACK STREET RODDER This a quality total restoration and detailed build that combines pure hot rod attitude with blistering performance, sleek styling, and excellent comfort and drivability. This 1946 Ford Tudor is a great looking Street Rodder in Volkswagen Yellow. It was found in a field in 1998 in Upland California and recovered by Lupe and Johnny\'s Body Shop of Upland. Lupe gave the car to his son, Eddie, to work on. He started pounding out the fenders, hood, trunk lid and body. Eddie ran out of money after buying a GM Crate 454 Motor. In 2000, the current owner, who is High School buddy of Lupe\'s from Chafee HS in Upland first saw the body sitting on a dolly. No frame, no engine, no glass, no wheels, no fenders. Just the body, in primer stage. Next to it was the crate 454, and alongside it was the frame and the freshly powder coated parts. The car was purchased and taken to Walton Fabrication for a complete engine hook up, and it was the beginning of this photo-documented, frame off restoration that was completed in 2001. Extensive preparation, paintwork, and powder-coating have rendered it a true piece of artwork on wheels. Receipts from the build total 47,000 dollars, plus the next 16 years of maintenance history. Far too many detailsto list here. No rust or issues are known. Body tweaks include the custom headlight bezels and mirrors. Turn signal lamps were removed and operate in the custom headlight. Other excellent features on this vehicle include the afore-mentioned 454 Crate Motor, fortified with an Edelbrock intake manifold and 4-barrel carburetor, with spent gases routed through a dual exhaust system. \r\n\r\nCapably handling the power are a Turbo-Hdyramatic 350 automatic transmission and 9-inch Ford rear end. The engine is nicely accessorized with billet components, and custom skid plates protect the engine and oil pan while cruising. Underpinnings are nicely updated with a double-wishbone front suspension, front disc brakes, and precise rack-and-pinion steering gear. The custom interior features Grey tweed upholstery and seats up to six, a Billet Budnik steering wheel, billet accessories, Air Conditioning, Power Front Windows, and a custom in-dash instrument panel. A key-fob remote opens the door and a retro- style stereo with CD changer occupies the trunk compartment. Comes with two key-fobs. Wrapped up in American racing wheels mounting BF Goodrich tires, this awesome \'46 Ford coupe proudly continues the Fat Attack while making a unique statement all of its own. A tastefully completed Classic done with meticulous care and passion. \r\n\r\nThis investment will turn heads as the proud owner drives by with his/her head held high. Bid with confidence as this collectible is guaranteed to bring many hours of joy!!/p
