Description of 1951 Ford Other

Selling my chopped 1951 Ford. The car is rock solid and came out of the San Diego area. The chop was done there. The car is shaved and Frenched with bubble tail lights. It’s bagged all around and will lay flat on the ground. It was at Autorama Extreme in Detroit a few years ago and won Lowest Car. The car has a new interior done in cream and black with the original front seat and a T Bird rear seat that has been sectioned. No headliner. The dash is chromed and pinstriped. It has a stock radio in the dash and an iPod ready am/fm CD radio in the glove box with an external amp hidden away. It uses 4 speakers. SW volt. gas. oil and temp gauges. The gas pedal is the original pedal from Al Bergler’s 1973 Vega Motown Shaker funny car trash picked in his shop by me. He saved the toe hook for his restoration and pitched the rest. The trunk has been partially finished and has the battery. gas tank with working sending unit. master kill switch and air compressor kill switch and remote cable trunk release. The fresh transmission is the first year Turbo 400 that bolts directly to the 1959 Cadillac 390 with the factory spacer plate. The Cadillac motor is . 030 over. new pistons. conditioned original rods and crank. new bearings and rings. Solid lifter cam with Studebaker adjustable rocker arms. New pushrods and lifters. Water pump is chrome and has been machined to use the modern bearing and seal. New timing chain and gears. Joe Hunt electronic distributor. The heads use Chevy 1. 94 intake and Chevy exhaust valves with hardened seats. bronze guides and the good seals. New BB Chevy valve springs. Handmade vintage covers with blisters to clear the rockers. Weiand Drag Star 6x2 intake with 6 vintage chromed Stromberg 97’s with all new everything and Vintage Speed adjustable jets on the primary carbs. Eelco progressive linkage. The motor won the Real Mill award at the Sins of Steel show a few years ago. Most of the chrome on the motor is an attic find. For the chrome headers I used flanges that were still in the box from San Diego steel products and had 1959 newspaper wrapped around them. Al Bergler did the install of the motor and trans at his shop and also made the inner fender panels and louvered panels on the core support. Firewall has a fresh coat of cream paint and all the front suspension and panels were powder coated black at QC Coatings. It uses a stock rear end that was gone through at The Ring & Pinion Shop here in town and has the manual stock Ford drum brakes. Front suspension uses Fat Man spindles and sway bar and the stock control arms were all modified to maintain the camber. I’ve owned the car for several years and drove it with the Chevy that was in it and a couple years ago swapped that out for the Caddy and Turbo 400. The car starts right up and is easy to drive. I’ll include a bunch of extra window trim and vent windows in case you want to take it that direction. It also comes with the cut out hood with chromes hinges but I prefer to leave it off. The motor runs at 180 all day long and has an electric fan on a separate switch in addition to the chrome stock fan. The speedometer needs a cable. Paint is matte black. Happy to answer questions. My cell is 248-229-9258 9am to 9pm Detroit time. Here’s a few additional things. The car has Dynamat on the inside of the firewall. the floor and up behind the rear seat. The solid lifter cam was ground with a new core by CamCraft. The lifter bores have been grooved for additional oiling on the lobes as well as an additional oil groove for the distributor gear. Not included but I also have a NOS pair of Hildebrandt valve covers. a like new set of Isky adjustable steel rockers. a NOS Mallory Mini Mag and coil and a like new billet roller cam with an extra stock cam that can be used for a donor splice cam gear. For lifters just use Chevy rollers with SB Ford tie bars. I use the Valvoline VR1 oil with an additive. The car also has all new wiring. Don’t want you to think I’m a slop. the wire hanging from under the dash is my iPod connector. Also has a working horn and turn signals.
