1948 Ford flathead deluxe business coupe, (no back seat has package tray). This car was commonly referred to as the "short door" model. Car has a 1949 mercury flathead motor, back in the day this was the the one to have. I have had this car a long time, in the last 2000 miles the following work has been done: --Motor rebuilt 4" stroke, bored 1/8, Iskenderian cam, adjustable lifters, Edelbrock 2 duce manifold, offy heads. All hoses, belts, thermostats were replaced at the time of rebuild --Transmission rebuilt --Front end rebuilt with new king pins, Posie spring, new wheel bearings and grease seals --New brakes, hardware kits, wheel cylinder kits, brake lines and master cylinder gone through, filled with synthetic DOT 5 This car has been a Hot Rod for some time, I found a dash plaque from the early 80's from a car show in Denver under the driver seat. I am sure the miles are correct, this car runs, steers and brakes very well. The rear axle is a 3:54, car is 6 volts, has tube shocks, turn signals, heater and interior lights that work. Everything works on the car, it's a driver even though the paint looks very good in the pictures, I estimate the paint is about 30 years old and is holding up well. Car has no rust, originally a Colorado car. The car does have one area near the rear tail light where the paint is cracked about 3 inches. For the last 8 years the car has seen little use, I start it a few times each month and drive it every now and then. It would probably be good to grease the car and dial the motor in. At times the starter disengages and both carburetors leak down when it sets a few days. The transmission drain and rear axle drain plug both drip grease need sealed with thread tape. A weekend of work would probably do it, just wanted you to know the minor things that need attention. This is a very nice car the only reason I am selling is I am nearing retirement. There is no warranty on the car, I will work with your shipper but will not arange shipping. I prefer you pick up this car in person and I would trailer it home. I have the right to cancel the auction at any time. Message me with questions, thanks for your time. Have a blessed day. Charlie. On Jun-24-15 at 07:28:28 PDT, seller added the following information: 6/24/2015-- Just to answer a few questions; I do not have a "buy it now price", if the reserve is met the car will sell to the high bidder. I will not disclose the reserve but will say it's what I would expect to pay for the car. The tires on the car are new, P215/75/R15 on Ford steel wheels with the correct caps and added trim rings. The clutch was replaced when the motor was done and the exhaust was new at the same time. Exhaust is stainless with dual glass packs, the car sounds amazing. I added a picture of the trunk area, I believe the spare is original,(minus the painted on wide white) it's a General 9.00X16. Call me at (254) 383-6126 if I can answer any other questions. Thanks for the offers but I'm not interested in a trade. Charlie.
