Customs Crosley based Custom Sports car

Pretty wild car for sale in Bisbee. See if you can figure out what panels were used to make it?

 

The fenders appear to be 1946-1948 Ford.

 

Wheels and hubcaps look like they are from a 1960's VW Bus. Tailfins kind of remind me of an Amphicar. I also just noticed the Chevrolet 350 emblem on the front fenders.

 

It could be...but haven't found a number on the car yet...he has a title....just not sure what it's really for. Says 49 Crosley.

They're Crosley 12" wheels and caps.

The front and rear upper panels might be early 50s Buick hoods?

 

I don't know, but I like it more that I should!

 

F1 rear fenders it looks like

 

I think the rear fenders are 46 Ford car front fenders.

 

I think this car is an attempt to make something like the hotshot from a wagon or sedan? but it's really heavy, has coil overload springs at all 4 corners!

 

Love the flames!

 

Ya shoulda kept the engine from the Chevy II...that would make that pup really scoot.

 

Can you fit in it?

 

Iron engine. I can fit in it.

 

Asking @anthony myrick if he would drive it is like asking the guys in the drunk tank if they want another round. Oh hell, Anthony? Would ya? Really?

 

With a big ole grin

 

Crosley was a really good engine design.
For many years after they came out,were the number one pick as a TQ race car engine; could run at 10000 rpm n 12 to 1 on alc. Used for a long time as the best engine for SCCA H-Mod racers.. and Y-race boats... : Also first USA car with four wheel disk brakes,,, If the design had been as a much bigger engine,we would of seen a lot more racing also... In the mid 1950s,my Dad built a SCCA H-Mod, I helped with some,.to race,also rig for street driving. I put it in a few car shows.

 

I like it.

 

The CIBA engine is a good engine.

Reminds me of this!

 

"Crosley. A Fine Car."

 

Kinda looks like a portion of a 39 Ford pickup grill.

 

I approve this message.

 

Quick web search indicates that the business is 356 speed shop in Bizbee Arizona, hurry up and buy this car @squirrel before @anthony myrick buys a plane ticket!

 

Yep, I zoomed into the picture and you can see that there are two signs that indicate (356 speed shop), plus you can see @squirrel 62 Corvette next to it as well. The website for that place has some cool other cars as well!

 

Never been on a plane
Might one day
