This timeless Ford began life as a solid runabout that was maintained, driven and paraded for most of its existence. Sometime in the last decade, the car was located on the South Carolina coast and purchased by a Burlington, North Carolina resident who wanted a fun project. And, based on appearances, that enthusiast did a fantastic job of disassembly and restoration. A custom leather interior followed a full roster of refinished hard parts, and the streamlined body received a rich coat of Pontiac Midnight Blue Metallic that's been infused with subtle pearl. Sadly, before he could get everything assembled, the enthusiast passed away, and the car ended up in an estate sale. After a little research, the Ford was purchased by its current owner to be assembled and sorted throughout 2017. Under the hood you'll find 4.3 liters of thrifty Vortec 6-cylinder. Behind that mill, a reliable GM 700R4 4-speed spins power to an 8-inch Ford axle that's finished with stout, 3.40 gears. A factory chassis utilizes a Mustang II front-clip and relocated leaf springs to give the car a tastefully lowered ride height. Modern rack-and-pinion steering is a welcome addition. Braking is solid, thanks to a familiar combination of discs and drums. And everything rolls on classy chrome wires, which spin 205/70R14 Lexani LXM-101s in front of 235/70R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. Pop the doors and you'll find a custom leather interior that's much nicer than traditional factory fodder. At ground level, piped carpet centers a tall Lokar shifter between color-keyed floor mats. At the center of that rug, a plush leather bench sits snug between “V8” branded side panels. In front of that seat, an ornate dash founds white-face Auto Meter telemetry beside controls for Vintage Air conditioning. And in front of the driver, a polished and wood-rimmed steering wheel laps a polished and tilting column. Call, click or visit www.RKMotors.com for more information!
