1950 Ford Sedan, Custom Lead Sled, Rat Rod

1950 Ford Sedan Description

I have a custom 1950 Ford Sedan, 2-door hardtop, that has been chopped, dropped, shaved, and frenched - flat black exterior - red and black interior. I have a few classic cars, and this one definitely gets the most attention and thumbs-up from other drivers. The car drives great and is a lot of fun, but I am ready to move on to something different.

383 stroker engine (custom built - Voodoo CAM, ported and polished heads, SS valves, triple coated Indy pistons, Mallory rings, Hooker headers, Edelbrock carb and EPS intake).

475 HP, 390 ft-lb torque (per engine builder - not verified). It's fast. This is definitely a hot rod. Acceleration is awesome!

Turbo 350 automatic transmission, floor shift, Corvette servo.

1979 Malibu sub-frame (welded to original frame) and suspension - drives like a '79 Malibu, not a '50 Ford.

MSD Ignition.

2 door - both are suicide with electronic deadbolt locks.
Door handles have been shaved - solenoid poppers - external and interior buttons, and keyless entry. There are also emergency releases inside the car for the driver's door, and in the trunk.

Power windows, power steering, power brakes, Vintage air conditioning (needs recharge, one hose leaks at the fitting and I haven’t taken time to replace the hose).

Shaved side gas fill door. Gas fill tube is in the trunk.

Battery is in the trunk next to the right quarter panel - hidden by a removable panel.

Frenched head lights, custom grill.

Blue dot tail lights, center brake light.

Dual exhaust with 3" pipes (it's loud - sounds like a Harley). I love the rumble of the exhaust. The mufflers may be pass-thru, so take that into consideration with regard to your local noise and pollution regulations.

The car was shown on an episode of Mecum Auctions - My Muscle Car - on NBCSN a few years ago.

I have the car's history going back to the person who built it.

I haven't found any rust on the car. Everything is solid. No fiberglass.

This is a summer car. The windshield wiper system was removed as part of the customization.

Front seats are from a 1960's Mustang.

The steering column and gas tank are from the '79 Malibu donor car.

Comes with a set of NOS (New Old Stock - meaning they were made in 1950, not reproduction) fender skirts.
