1947 Ford Woodie wagon is a San Diego car that was completely updated in 2012 to cruise the freeway speeds of Southern California comfortably.The frame was boxed, the interior was strippe, lizard skinned, and dynomated to increase the stability, ride and noise reduction as much as possible for a wood framed vehicle.Chevrolet 383 turn-key engine by Phoenix engines with Aluminum radiator,fan, and customshroud.Cool running.Th400 automatic transmission rebuilt with LOKAR floor mounted shifter. Ididit columnNova front suspension rebuilt with new front-end kit, steering box,pump, pitman arm, and sway bar from CPP.Four wheel disc brakesNine inch ford rear end with new 2.73 gears for lower rpm's andimprovedgas mileage.100% new wiring, Vintage Air " big box" air conditioning, Autometer gauges crafted into theoriginaldash bezels with a amazing painted wood grain dash and windshieldmoldings.Upholstery is ne, upgraded with a new front seat and European Square Weave carpet from firewall to tailgate.When I say new or rebuilt that was in 2012 with no mileage on the car. It now has 7,677 miles and all bugs worked out.
The wood is original Ford Maple with the exception of minor repairs made by Iron Mountain Wood Works when replacing and fitting the marine gradeMahoganypanels. Paint was new in 2012 and now has some small chips fromcruising( paint codeprovided). In attempting to provide an accurate description as I can : if I was grading this woodie with Concourse, Excellent, Good, Fair, etc. as grades I would give it a Good rating. As I stated this car was built to look as stock as possible outside with updated internals not win car show awards.
