The quintessential big-fendered street rod, his 1946 Ford Deluxe coupe offers big car space, lenty of V8 power, nd great details that make it stand out in a crowded field. It's also a rare find with a Ford 351C motor between the front fenders. For all you guys who cringe when you read Chevy small-block power in a Ford, his just may be the perfect custom for you.Do you know why you can't take your eyes off the glossy red? We do. It's because you have groceries in your refrigerator that are older than this paint. The professional respray was done only a few months ago, nd it gives this '40s Ford the kind of presence that radiates whether it's parked in the sunlight of the car show lawn or the neon of your favorite car hop. The chrome trim that accents the curvaceous body also looks so pristine that it must have had some recent work, oo. The final touch is the set of bright torque thrust-style wheels that give this a timeless street rod appearance.Inside, ou know this is has been fully customized once you take one look at the seats. After all, ucket seats and a center console with a cup holder were decades away when this Ford first came into this world. The comfortable gray fabric even has "46 Coupe" stitched in the front headrests and the Ford V8 logo in the middle of the rear. From the driver's seat you can see a lot of investment when into custom work. It starts with the new steering wheel with a wire design and Ford V8 logo to make it look both premium and period-correct at the same time. Beyond that is a custom panel integrates new SunPro gauges for all the essential engine information. Also within your reach is the AM/FM/CD player and controls for the air conditioning. There's even a cool overhead console for storage and lighting!Under the hood is exactly what you want to see in a classic blue oval street rod. It's a 351 cubic-inch Cleveland motor that's been treated to performance upgrades such as Edelbrock intake, olley carburetor, nd Weiand valve covers. The power is estimated at 300 hp, nd we don't doubt it with the wicked sound it produces out of the dual exhaust. But just like the interior, his custom coupe is more than just about performance... It also does a nice job of balancing comfort, oo. For example, he C6 three-speed transmission is built for the heavy-duty power that this coupe is putting on the road, nd it also is good for automatic style cruising. The same goes for the power steering, ront disc brakes, nd the Mustang II independent front suspension that's fresh from a pricy rebuild. Lots of recent investment, icely finished, nd obviously built to drive, his cool Ford coupe is a painless way to get the best of both worlds. Call today!!!
