Hot Rod Ford Roadster project

Recommended Posts

Guy doing glasswork at my house last week has a hot rod project he's looking to unload, as he's breaking out on his own to start a company, needs a truck/van. We got to talking:

 

GOOD:

Former drag race car on '27 Ford frame

TOTALLY NEW FRAME (old '27 was too rusted to save) - custom built

'50s-era fiberglass body ('24 style) in OK shape - needs work

Dropped front axle, transverse leaf spring with trailing radius arms F/R.

'38 Ford "Banjo" rear axle - 3.79 rear gear

'38 Ford front/rear drum brakes with 4 "wide-five" steelies

New BFGoodrich repop whitewalls all 4 corners

'65 283 V8 with tripower carbs, "Corvette" script finned valve covers

'50s T-5 manual transmission

Many new parts:

Vega-style steering box

Wilwood clutch/brake reservoir/pedal setup

Hot Rod aluminum radiator set up for SBC

Spun-aluminum fuel tank w/ brackets

BAD:

Engine needs rebuilt. Turns over but hasn't run in years.

No driveshaft, exhaust.

Fuel/brake/electrical lines all need done

'27 Ford windshield frame, cracked glass

No interior, body needs stiffening.

NO TITLE. Bill of sale only

4x4 ride height

 

Needs to be put together (is sitting on stands in his garage, needs sorted). I really would love to drive something like this but the time to finish it is definitely more than I can handle with all the other irons I have in my FIRE!!!

 

He's looking to get $4,000 for it. PM me and I'll pass your contact info along to the owner...

 

EDIT: He's also starting his own handyman business, so he's desperately looking for a reliable white panel van (Astro, Ford E-series, Chevy Express) as a partial/full trade...
