DESCRIPTION:
1937 Ford Cabriolet Street Rod with a 3” chopped Carson style removeable top. The body is fiberglass by Gibbons with a square tube frame. Exact date of the build is estimated to be early 2000’s and it has only logged just under 10,000 miles on the odometer. Power comes from a 350 cu in Chevy V-8 backed by a 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission, and 9” Ford rear differential. Present owner purchased the car from a dealer approximately 8 years ago without any accompanying documentation of the build. Recent work includes new Radio (with Bluetooth), A/C and cooling system.
