This car is completely unchanged since 1963. The only thing that has been done is a complete mechanical restoration reusing and rebuilding every original mechanical piece to make it fully functional as it was in 1963.
This car features a full chromed frame underneath the steel 1932 ford sedan tilts body thats chopped 5″. The motivation to move it comes from a 417 cu.in. Oldsmobile engine with a Potvin crank driven blower, Hilborn fuel injection, Magneto, Roller cam, all the best for 1960 when the engine was originally built. The engine is coupled to a B&M hydro transmission mated to a Halibrand V8 quickchange. Magnesium Halibrand wheels all around with its original tires all around.
