This original car, built from original parts by the original hot rodder, Vern Tardel himself, is the epitome of a traditionally built duece highboy. Originally built the early 1980s, it sports a French block 8BA-style flathead 33/16 x .80- 4” Merc Crank, 1.50 valves, Isky 400 Jr Cam, 3 Speed ‘39 Ford Trans, ‘40 rear end - 3.25 gears, 49 PU Steering Box, Mordrop axle, all tucked into a stock frame and body. This is a true piece of hot rodding history. ~ Vern Tardel
