I have a pristine 1939 Ford DeLuxe Woody Wagon I’m interested in selling. 42,000 actual miles, all original perfect wood. Even has some Tiger Maple, which Henry's craftsmen reserved for the really special cars. Nice new leather throughout. Mildly hot rodded, with all engine and mechanical work performed by Millworks Hot Rods in New Hampshire (https://www.millworkshotrod.com). The work performed by Millworks included complete dis***embly and rebuild of the original block, resurface on the original factory cast iron heads and block, installation of Isky Max 1 cam, Isky adjustable lifters, full SS replacement valve train, new pistons, main line bearings, timing gears, re-cored radiator, etc. Added aluminum intake/Stromberg carbs, full dual exhaust with headers and 26” Porter mufflers. Installation of front lowering spring and rear panhard/anti-sway bar gives it a great stance. Also front end sorting to repair kingpins, tierod/draglink ends, wheel bearings and seals. And full brake line replacement with residual pressure valves and swap to dual master cylinder, plus conversion to 8v for better starting power. This car is fully sorted and good to go. Doors shut with a satisfying clunk. Horsepower is approximately doubled from stock, but still under 200 hp. Exhaust note is subdued but definitely a rumble. Just very drivable and fun to use. In addition, we did some minor things like lowering the rear taillight brackets, and fabricated new forged arms and tailgate support rods — this allows the tailgate to swing fully open to a flat 90 degree angle, (unlike stock ’39 tailgates which are angled when fully open, and cannot be used as a table.) I currently have the interior set up with 2 rows of seating, so there's more cargo room behind the rear seat -- but all 3 seats are included and perfect -- could easily configure that way too. Car is currently stored in my temperature controlled garage.
