Details
This is one far-out car that portrays the futuristic fantasy vibes of the late 1950s and has won at some prestigious car shows including The Oakland Roadster Show, Sacramento Roadster Show and Lead Sled East. It is an all-steel construction with all components welded in and skim-coated smooth. Under the hood, this show car features a high-performance 351ci Ford V8 engine mated with a Ford C4 3-speed automatic transmission, both rebuilt before installation. This engine sits in a show-prepared engine bay, with a custom air cleaner and Mickey Thompson rocker covers with T-bar fasteners and gold detailing. The body is the hand-formed steel of a '57 Ford Thunderbird with a variety of body modifications and finished in a brilliant gold metallic paint. The large rear tailfins give it the iconic cult look. Other exterior modifications to this roadster include 1959 Lincoln headlights, 1959 Buick taillights, shaved door handles, a custom grille, tail panels and a chopped windshield. It was recently pinstriped by Tanner Leaser of Gas Monkey Garage. This astounding custom sits on four alloy wheels in a star pattern, wrapped in Dimension All Season whitewall tires. A striking feature is the fully custom white Naugahyde vinyl on the interior, wheel wells, engine bay and even the hood pad. This vinyl encases the seats and is diamond-pleated. The interior also features a 1961 Chrysler glass dome gauge cluster, '60s Plymouth Aero steering wheel, custom shifter, a retro rotary telephone attached to the center of the floorboard, and inside the glovebox is a Sony AM/FM stereo with CD player. The trunk has been equipped with a small, restored 1950s Admiral TV, oil, gas and water cans and a period-correct first-aid kit, all accented or sheathed in gold, plus a full-size spare tire. The car also comes with a custom-made tonneau cover.
