i bought this about a month ago from russellville ohio seen it on ebay its a black 51 ford sedan caddy powered 49 331 block with 365 crank rods pistons 58 heads and 2x4 intake and a b&m hydro trans . the guy i got it from said it was first built in 54-55 and then upgraded in 58 with the 365 stuff. the first owner was said to be the one that put the caddy motor in it he was a navy guy from norfolk va. the car was sold in 60 to a guy that lived in detroit mi. named ronnie lytle and was sold later to kurt mccormick (r&c dream truck) and was sold to the guy i bought it from in 2000. does anyone remember this car from way back ? most of the interior is gone the door panels where tan recovers and the seats where gray and blue. thanks i will post up some pics when i get the car back from the upholstery shop
Austin,the car kinda sounds familiar,but without pics,its hard to tell,Ya know what,let me see if I can find anything out.
to tell you the truth i dont think it looks the way it did back when. it was primered about ten years ago black it was gloss before that and its had the hood and trunk smoothed. i will get some pics up asap. thanks garth
i have more pics and i talked with the second ower and he was a cool guy to talk too and way to much info for me to type .
