1935 Ford Convertible Sedan that is almost 100% original. It runs well and road worthy. It is currently registered and street legal. It was pictured in the 2004 Hop Up, 6th issue, page 65.
It has a flathead V8 from a later year. From the head bolt pattern is is a 1938-1946 engine. I bought it for a project car. Although it was nearly complete it was not drivable. Here is a partial list of the work that has been done to the car. I'll even throw in a cardboard standup of Emelia Earhart. (She rode in this model car for the 1935 Indianapolis 500)
- juice brakes had already been added but they did not work. New brake linings, drums were turned, new master cylinder installed The emergency brake works well.
- two new water pumps installed
- radiator was cleaned and pressure tested
- new carburetor and fuel pump installed (I have only been running non ethanol gas)
- new exhaust system installed
- new red top Optimum battery (6 volts)
- 4 new period correct Coker tires (the spare is not new)
- original starter was rebuilt (second starter comes with the spare parts)
- replaced fuel sender and gas gauge
- when I got it the odometer read over 46K miles but did not work. I had the odometer rebuilt by Bob's Speedometer and it now works but only reads 23 miles (extra speedometer in the spare parts box)
- a new convertible top was installed included 2 new oak bows. The top iron was all POR15'd (a second new top comes with the extra parts, long story there)
- all 4 fenders were removed to repair minor body work. Reinstalled with new felting and painted. POR15 on the underside, red epoxy primer on the outside
- running boards removed, painted with epoxy primer and covered with rubber
More pictures available on request (videos as well)
