This Ford Roadster street rod is said to have been modified under
previous ownership by Mike Fennel Enterprises for the late drag racer
Tom McCourry and was later acquired by the owner in 2013. The car is
finished in Indigo Blue over Cream leather upholstery and powered by a
502ci V8 mated to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and an
8-inch rear axle. The Fairlane fiberglass body was mounted to a modified
1936 Ford chassis that features a Mustang II-style front suspension,
rear leaf springs, front drop spindles, and rack and pinion steering.
Additional equipment includes a blue convertible soft top, a rumble
seat, power front disc brakes, 15″ Billet Specialties wheels, a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, GM electronic ignition, and a Sony AM/FM/CD
stereo. This Ford Roadster is offered in Canada with
publications featuring the car, and Ontario registration listing the car as a 1936 Ford.
The Fairlane fiberglass body is finished in Indigo Blue. Features
include a blue convertible soft top, a steel louvered hood and engine
covers, a chrome grille and bumpers, steel body-colored fenders,
rubber-covered steel running boards, and a rear-mounted spare tire
carrier. There is a bubble in the paint on the rumble seat.
The 15″ Billet Specialties wheels wear spinner center caps and are
mounted with Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires measuring 195/60 up front and
225/70 out back. The modified 1936 Ford chassis features a Mustang
II-style front suspension, front drop spindles, rear leaf springs, and
rack and pinion steering. Braking is handled by power-assisted front
discs and rear drums.
The cabin features a Glide Industries bench seat and rear rumble seat
with pleated inserts upholstered in cream leather joined by
color-coordinated door and kick panels. Equipment includes blue carpet
and floor mats, a floor-mounted shifter and handbrake, a
custom-fabricated dashboard, Alpine speakers, and a Sony AM/FM/CD
stereo.
The Grant banjo-style steering wheel frames a Mooneyes 120-mph
speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant
temperature, battery voltage, and oil pressure. The five-digit
mechanical odometer shows 6k miles, approximately 2k of which were added
under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 502ci V8 features a polished Chevrolet intake manifold and
serpentine drive system, a Holley 750-cfm four-barrel carburetor,
electronic ignition, a Griffin aluminum radiator with an electric fan,
and Hooker headers. An oil change was performed and the battery was
replaced in 2022.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission and an 8-inch rear axle. A dual exhaust system
with chambered mufflers is installed.Please ask for more info if needed. Thanx for looking
