When properly restored how could this not be a six-figure car at a Barrett Jackson collector car auction! If you have a genuine interest, please call me with your questions John 954-790-9570 Available for inspection by appointment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Clear Florida title in my name showing the car as a 1915 Ford The same hand painted pinstripes The spark advance lever on the vertical steering column operates a C-4 automatic transmission According to the magazines the engine was a stock 302 with a Holley 2-barrel, it is now a 289 with an Edelbrock manifold and Holley 4-barrel but still has the same set of custom one-off exhaust manifolds and aluminum valve covers. From the Feb 1976 Popular Hot Rodding magazine article: "Stock exhaust manifolds were used, but due to the very narrow hood, they had to be milled down 1/4 inch for enough clearance . . ." I believe this car was left out in the weather for several years. The engine is full of water and is locked up. The frame is pitted with rust in some areas but is very repairable. The magazines shows the car with a Ford rear end, it now has a Boyd Coddington independent rear suspension that is very similar to his other early builds. 1940 Ford Woody, "The Togster" 1932 Roadster "The Cutting Edge" The magazine shows a single center mounted gas tank, it now has dual side mounted tanks that made it possible to install an AC condenser and fans on the frame rail similar to Boyd's "Fantastic T". This is the frame for Boyd's second magazine build "Fantastic T" A quote from boydcoddingtonsgarage.com "The wheels are Zenith Wire, and about 5 years before the first set of Boyds Wheels were built." Chromed (now partly painted black) Mustang brake caliper with safety wire - an identifying feature Monroe coil-over shocks as noted in the Popular Hot Rodding Magazine Stock kerosene taillight converted to 12 volt Two pages from August 1974 Street Rodding Three pages from Feb. 1976 Popular Hot Rodding please call me with your questions John 954-790-9570 Available for inspection by appointment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
