    I know this is a real long shot but I felt it worth a go. This '54 Ford was imported into the UK in 1975 by a well known musician. I know the history over here but would love to find out anything from it's previous life. The car was very well built and bronze/flamed with a deep ****oned black interior. 5.14 Olds rear with a 406 and toploader made it quite a drive. The car was built to a very high standard with plenty of chrome including much of the underside. The seller, Daniel Covey, lived in Duarte LA at the time of sale. Any thoughts appreciated but if this is considered off topic please delete.

    Yikes, what a drive train, that baby should scoot right along!! Very nice looking car and sounds like a high quality build. Trips longer than 1/4 mile would be tough. ~sololobo~

    I think that John Bonham also purchased the tow truck C-Cab that Andy Brizio built in the early seventies. Did I see him driving it in a movie???
