Ready to step up to the charm and class that made Detroit famous? take a close look at this shoebox Ford! The initial hallmark of this exceptional hot rod is a sleek profile that’s been restored to very high standards. To achieve those striking good looks, the car underwent a ground-up, no expense spared restoration that involved literally hundreds of hours of paint and metal work. That paintwork included a complete strip to bare metal that was followed by rugged epoxy primer and some of the best metallic 2-stage on the market. And today, roughly 30 trophies later, this classic literally defines the term ‘front row cruiser’! In keeping with tradition, this stellar classic is powered by 284 cubic inches of rowdy ‘flatty’ V8. Behind that mill, a 26-spline C4 uses a Lokar kickdown kit to accurately apportion power to an 8-inch axle that’s finished with smooth, 2.73 gears. That drivetrain hangs in a factory frame that’s been stripped, measured for trueness and fully powder-coated. Those bones roll on a completely rebuilt suspension, which cages 2-inch drop spindles and 2-inch drop springs between upgraded sway bars. Power-assisted stops course through a floor-mounted booster, retrofitted front discs and upgraded rear drums. And at the corners, chromed hot rod steelies spin 6.70R15 American Classic whitewalls around polished center caps. Inside this classic, tasteful custom upholstery is fittingly upscale. Broad bench seats sport rich, 2-tone covers. In front of those thrones, a sculpted dash tilts modern Dakota Digital telemetry above an upgraded AM/FM radio and Bi-Level heat. And the driver spins an artful Ford steering wheel around a modern, titling column. Backing elegant style with proven power, this finely-tuned Ford was made for the limelight!
