1939 Ford Other Standard Description

1939 Full Kustom Coupe Connoisseur's Custom AKA The McNutt Coupe
This car was started in 1958 with a complete 57 Chevy Power Pack 283 (like an LS today)It had a 47 Ford 3 speed but now has a 700R but still has clutch pedal and looks the same as it did with standard tranny. It still has a Banjo rear end but now open drive shaft. It has all new 40 Ford drum brakes including new drums.The car has been chopped, sectioned, 47 Lincoln rear fenders, 59 Chevy headlights, full Custom Grill. The color is a 57 Studebaker factory color. I have the interior door panels & seat cover skins from 1962. It just looked too tired for a fresh build.This car had AC installed in 1959 (even some new Cadillac's didn't have AC in 59)The gentleman Bob McNutt that built the car was 6'-2" and he drove it to most shows back in the day. I'm 5'-6" and it's right for me. The car is a Blast to drive & Show.It was in 12 magazines including front cover & full spread in 63.It won over 40 1st place trophies including Best Custom 1958 NHRA Detroit, MII've got tons of information & photos of it's History.It was just featured in Rod & Kulture Magazine by Trent Sherrill. It's been in Rodders Journal as well.It won a Top Award @ Lone Star Roundup picked by famous Jeff Norwell. It won Best Custom at The Invasion in Dallas.It was at The Customs Then & Now 2011 at Grand National Roadster Show 2011.I can store the car inside for 30 days maybe longer if negotiated.
