This car was built over a period of ten years. Starting in the early 90's and being finished by 2004. It has only been driven 3500 miles since.
The designer/builder is passionate about 53 Fords. You guessed it, his first car... This car was a bit customized when he bought it. By the time it was done, it was completely disassembled, rebuilt on a rotissiere and customized in many, many ways. You can spend hours learning about it and still be impressed with new discoveries.
We have a COMPLETE photo album with narration about the entire project. You'll learn many details from it. The builder is also happy to answer questions. He is extremely proud of his work. So much so, that he sold the car to move on to the next project.
Let's start with the powertrain:
Early 350 Chevy coupled to 350THM transmission. Both completely rebuilt. Engine is extremely healthy and very attractive. Everything is black, aluminum, or chrome under the hood. The transmission was nicely refinished before installation. It all spins a 8.8 inch Ford from a Granada. A common, efficient, easy to work on powertrain.

The many details include a completely rebuilt heat and A/C system, electric wipers, new Griffin radiator, non-functional lake pipes, dual exhaust, complete Painless wiring harness, keyless remote and hidden pushbuttons for the doors and trunk, Cyberdyne digital gauges, and on and on.
The glass is all new. The interior is gorgeous, completely redone in early 60's style. The chrome and stainless is perfect and has many custom cues. The body is all steel, laser straight and beautifully finished. The paint is mid-90's Ford Sunrise Red (raspberry) and it is of show quality.
The underside is as pretty as the top. It was completely refinished. The chassis was modified for lowering and performance reasons. The tires are wide white radials with reproduction of '57 Lancer wheel covers.
We can't even begin to cover the details, features, and quality of this custom. The builder and only owner deserves all the accolades he received.
He was nominated for Custom of the Year by the MN Streetrod Assn. If you know about "Back to the 50's", you know the magnitude of MSRA and what it means to be nominated. This is a high quality custom that will be in the running at any show. Not only that, you have a blast crusing in comfort. Nice tunes, cold A/C, gorgeous interior, exceptional features. This car has it all.
Les built a beauty. We are so pleased to be it's second owner. We hope you like to be noticed, because this beauty stands out! It certainly caught my eye.
