Here is for sale my 1949 Hudson Super Six. I bought this car about 5 years ago to drop it and make a Rat out of it but the body was in such good shape that I ended up restoring it. It's taken too long and two small kids in the process and now there is no time to finish it or enjoy it. I have done a ton of work to it, too much to remember but I will do my best and if there is any questions please just ask before the auction ends. Understand that I was NEVER shooting for a show car but a reliable driver that would be different at car shows, the car is exactly that, and with the minor imperfections it has and what it needs to be completed, it is still a great deal for the price. I am selling it with a reserve well under what I have in it!!Undercoated the sub-frameFull body work completed about 4 years ago (only two door skins were damaged in the bottom and the metal was replaced)Full body paint including the engine bay completed about 3years ago, not show quality but very nice (took old engine out and painted the engine bay)Removed all the trim from the lower body and covered holes to give the car a cleaner lookPainted dash all interior trim and steel wheels to match carReupholstered entire car to include: carpet, seats, headliner, wind lace, door panels sun visors, arm rests, etc... (needs cleaning now)Installed all new glass, except the rear back windshield (both front windshield pieces and all 8 side glass pieces)Installed all new rubber and felts all around the new glass (which were painful to find, again except the back glass)Replace all bad hardware to get all glass to work properly (new door latches, some new handles, new interior handles and cranks)All new door hinge boltsRepaired steering wheel, replace most dash components and most minor hardware under dashAll new 12V electric (wiring, bulbs, etc..) from the headlights to the tail lightsLeft wiring ready for A/C and radio, and added turn signal kit with led signals on headlightsAdded a SBC V8-305 from the early 90's that runs awesome with a 400th tranny that shifts smoothlyCustom made a new drive shaft and cross member and rebuilt the gear box, brakes and radiator.Install new Edelbrock intake and Holley carburetor, electric fuel pump, new MSD electronic distributor, K&M air filter, wires, plugs, and much more!!Added Power brakes from a 1990's Camaro and a neutral safety switch so that it won't start unless in ParkHas new Chrome valve covers and aluminum oil pan, both with new performance gasketsChrome bumpers were re-platedLowered the car about 1" in the back and 2" in the front (looks better and rides nice)Included is the tool to remove the drums, arm rests, dome light, sun visors, ash trays and any other parts I may find for it. There is a lot more I have added to the car in this long process that I'm sure I'm forgetting, so please ask. Bottom line, the car is 95% complete and all the hard work is done. It runs great and stops on a dime and it will cruise at 70 mph all day long. I will try to upload a video of it running in the next day or so and pictures of the parts that come with it. Here is a list of what it needs to be 100% complete (or basically what I was going to finish on it):Install arm rests, sun visors, dome light, a couple of ash trays, horn button, dash Hudson emblems and radio cover plate or original radio faceplate (ALL these items will come with the car)Install new wiper kit (I took the old vacuum system out to put electric wipers)Install new A/C system if desired, compressor and electric are there ready to be used (I live in Florida so A/C is a must!!)I would also install a radiator reservoir kit and replace the oil plug's gasket that leaks from over tightening by the last guy that changed the oil.Needs a good cleaning in the interior and mostly to be driven!!!

Also the Fuel tank was completely redone with new sending unit float and gasket. Look at the video and you'll see how good this car runs. Thanks
