1950 Ford Convertible Restomod

Description

Shoebox Fords make for some great custom cars. After all, they were built to take a V8, and so there's always something extra special under the hood. But the glow of this 1950 Ford Convertible should be your first indication that they took this one to a whole new level. As you get in closer, you can really see the full restomod build. It includes an interior that carefully coordinates with the exterior color theme while also giving everyone bucket seat comfort. Under the hood, this Ford switches to GM LS1 power for a modern fuel-injected cruiser setup. The overdrive transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and upgraded suspension make sure this award-worthy drop-top is also the one you want to drive. And since we've only scratched the surface of this full custom build, take some extra time to check out all the added thought and investments that made this one-of-a-kind.

You can tell they were extra thoughtful about the build, just in the little things. This includes like features like how the driver's door is on a keyless entry lock, and the climate controls are hidden in the center console to keep the dash looking smooth. Attentive builds like this are always about being award-worthy, and so some cut corners with the driving experience. That's what makes this one so special. The LS1 power is a big signal that they want you to drive this restomod. And the fully upgraded drivetrain feels tighter than anything you'd expect from the 1950s. So if you're looking for an all-around top-tier build, don't let this one get away. Call today!!!
