    I have been looking for a driver car for awhile that just needs some little work while I finish other projects... Does anyone know anything about this car? It's supposedly a magazine feature car? I think the interior and wheels are very lacking.... a '65 Tbird interior in Zodiac vinyl and some astros and scallops would really wake it up. Photoshop anyone?

    I love 53-4 Fords, but they are VERY prone to rust... Have someone check it carefullly for bubbling etc,
    The modifications are just a bit over the top for me. For all that work it should have been done as a full custom. Would make a helluva driver, though.

    overall looks like a nice car...

    i like the grille and REALLY like the front bumper. ...but not sure why they did that to the rear decklid, looks like **** IMO. the wheelwell stainless is interesting... and center console ugh.

    and i hope that steering wheel has had its shots.

    I don't get how you could get all that out of a profile picture of the car. Am I missing something, I only see one image when I click the thumbnail. I always wondered why it was pluralized.

    The bodywork on the car is really neat, I know I've seen the car before, in a mag somewhere. The wheels aren't even so bad, could use some WWW's or some flipper caps.

    The interior is another story altogether. The extra glovebox door isn't so bad, but the seats, console, and steering column are mega hideous. Not only that, but they don't fit the period of the body mods at all.

    So if you could buy it for a reasonable price and you were willing to swap out the guts for something else (even stock stuff done in a nice vinyl pleat pattern) I think it'd be a great car.

    Current bid price is givin' it away. However, it's "reserve not met" and I'm bettin' this guy wants big jack for the car, I'm sure he's got quite a bit of money into it and is expecting to get a lot out. I've got a complete gl*** roof from a '54, I'd love to get this car, swap tops and put some nice guts into it.
