Description
Lot #632 - This custom 1949 Ford Tudor 2-door sedan was a South Dakota car that was turned in to a mild custom between 1995 and 2013. The build was done with all Ford parts; only proven-quality parts were used. The drivetrain includes a fresh 302ci Ford small-block engine with an Edelbrock aluminum performer intake and a 4-barrel carburetor. A Proform HEI distributor was used, and an early C4 automatic 3-speed transmission was added, as was an 8-inch Ford rear end with a 3.00 gear. The front brakes received a dual master cylinder, 7-inch power booster and disc brake kit. A full set of 15x7 chrome baby moons wheels were chosen and a small whitewall radial tire combo to get that back-to-the-50s look. The body received a new Bahama Blue base coat paint job, then the original trim was redone, polished and the bumpers rechromed. The interior was redone completely with gray vinyl and tweed cloth, and seat belts were added for safety, as well as an AZ Speed electric wiper motor. All glass was replaced.
