Flathead powered '31 Ford roadster

**67since67** · #1 06-20-2020, 10:21 PM

Debatable if this is a Musclecar, but offering it here first.
REAL mint '31 roadster body on REAL '32 frame powered by a '50 Mercury flathead. Pro built by Clayton's Hot Rods in Santa Cruz, CA 2011. View build on their website. Very few repro parts, detail built as a historically correct 1950 CA hot rod. NO alternator, auto trans etc to spoil the effect.
Only concessions to newer technology are seat belts, dual master cylinder and converted to 12 volt.
Sorted out and turn key, need nothing except gas in the tank.
PM for more info.

Just dropped back for another look at this sweetheart, nobody here step up yet?
Steel body w/ Deuce rails and nose is hard to beat but Merc Flatty puts it over the top!

Thanks for the kind words Pete! Likely not the best prospective audience here.
A friend of a friend is supposed to be coming by this week for a look. If he doesn't step up I'll get more serious about marketing it. This car is for the old school purest.

Had it out for a blast around the neighborhood today and shot more pix.

Some additional details for guys into these cars:
Original '32 dropped and filled axle with '39 hyd brakes and early Buick finned aluminum drums.
Vintage Guide headlights.
Shrader sprintcar steering wheel on Ford F-1 steering gear.
'39 trans and '36 rear.
'50 Pontiac tail lights.
1 1/2" straight pipes (gets that flatty "bark" just right

)
'32 dash with SoCal gauge panel and S-W "winged" gauges.
Thickston intake topped with Stromberg 97s.
