Very high quality build, done by some of the best names in Detroit. The car features a Henry Ford steel touring body narrowed 3" and lengthened 6". Aluminum hood and side panels by metal legend Ron Fournier. Paint by Bob Andrew, upholstery by Steve Unzinger. Powered by a Ford 2.3L OHC four with dual Dellorto 40's. Schroeder steering, Halibrand quickchange rear, and more!
The car was done in the 90's and was a finalist for a Ridler Award at the Detroit AutoRama when completed. The build still appears fresh with zero cosmetic defects, it's extremely clean throughout. Runs and drives perfectly. A cold start and driving video is available to view at https://youtu.be/yybHGuJHt7g - take a look, this car is lots of fun on the road!
