Details

Built by Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company, this black-on-black roadster is powered by a Ford 428ci FE V8 engine with a Holley 750 double-pumper carburetor with mechanical secondary's mounted to an Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake. It is equipped with NOS pent-roof valve covers, a Ford expansion tank, an aluminum oil pan, and the round air cleaner on top of the carburetor and turkey pan heat shroud. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan is included to keep the engine cool. A Davis Unified ignition and upgraded plug wires give spark to fresh Autolite plugs. The engine power flows through a 4-speed Toploader manual transmission with a Hurst Competition shifter. A round-tube chassis is connected to the E-type suspension components, including dual coils in the rear and fits tires and the front suspension is a double-wishbone design with coil springs and telescopic dampers. Also up front is an E-type rack & pinion steering system providing good feedback to the driver and relatively light steering and equipped with Wilwood brakes. The car also includes a low-mounted oil cooler, Lucas rectangular taillights and parking lights. The hood shows proper rivets holding the scoop in place. The side-view mirror and wind wings are NOS. The interior is detailed in wood wheel and trimmed by Moto-Lita authentic with the buckets finished in black leather. The Smiths gauges were used in the dash, but the tachometer fails on an intermittent basis. Toggle switches handle the lights, fan, carpets, side panels with map pockets and dashboard. The black single-stage urethane paint has a brilliant shine. **TITLED AS 1965 FORD** **TITLE BRANDED REPLICA**
