The current owner purchased the Ford out of Michigan approximately 16 years ago when it was about 95% complete. Once in their possession the car had the wiring and the interior completed.
This ’47 comes complete with Vintage Air A/C, heat & defrost, power steering, power brakes (disc front & drums rear), power windows, and a Sony AM/FM/CD player with 4-speaker stereo.
Since taking completing the ‘47 Coupe it has logged just over 12,000 miles. It starts easily, runs strong, and everything appears to function. Multiply show winner and draws attention wherever it goes.
Specifications:
Body & Paint:
Two-stage urethane paint on an all steel body. Custom body work includes shaved door handles (opens with poppers), nosed, decked, 2 ½” chopped top, frenched rear license plate, frenched headlights, custom taillights, and shaved drip rails. There are some “age related” cracks and chips, please view all photos carefully.
Engine & Transmission:
According to the owner the 350 cu. in. Chevy V8 was bored and stroked to 383 cu. in. and runs on pump gas. The cam is believed to be a hydraulic roller with roller rocker arms and uses a Jesel gear drive. Topping it off is an Edelbrock 700 cfm carburetor, Weiand intake manifold, ceramic coated ‘shorty’ headers, HEI ignition, and 2 ½” exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers.
Rebuilt 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with deep pan.
Chassis:
Completely ‘boxed’ frame using an early model Camaro front end with power steering and sway bar. The rear suspension is from an early ‘70’s Chevelle using upper and lower control arms with coil over shocks. The Coupe rides on 15” Boyd Coddington polished aluminum wheels with Uniroyal 195/65R/15 radials up front and 205/75R/15 in the rear.
Interior:
Custom interior featuring bucket seats with lap seatbelts, cloth and vinyl upholstery, tilt steering column, custom console for power window switches, 12-volt adaptors, AM/FM/CD player, A/C & heater vents, fully functional VDO gauges including speedometer/odometer, fuel, tachometer, voltmeter, oil pressure, and water temperature. There appears to be no broken seams or tears in the upholstery.
The trunk was done by the current owner and has compartments for the battery, cleaning supplies, and ‘jumper’ terminals.
Overall, this ’47 appears to be a quality built and a reliable Street Rod anyone would enjoy taking on a long cruise or up to a local show. No disappointments.
