THE SURVIVOR!!
###SOLD###SOLD###SOLD###
This cool old Fat Fendered Ford is sure to put a smile on your face if you love your old school Fords, it's an absolute old Kiwi New survivor that's never been butchered, just driven and enjoyed which is evident in its super cool patina and its overall appearance, showing genuine honest hard earned life experience that you simply can't duplicate!
Sold here in NZ new and first registered to the Canterbury Frozen Meat Co in October 1946 according to its original papers, as well as going through the local Ford Dealers Hutchinson Motors a few times, this old girl has roamed around the Canterbury region for many years, managing to survive the decades while avoiding being turned into a Stock Car or Hot Rod, or simply dissolving into the ground like sadly most of them did....
After sitting in dry storage for a number of years, the registration on this old girl had lapsed, but it has now been fully reinstated after going through the stringent inspection process, and with the subsequent required minor repairs completed, is now basically back up to speed, with a fresh new warrant, and is all set and ready to go.
The solid old body looks the part with everything in place as it should be, showing no evidence of ever being severely hacked up or modified in any way, and the tired old paintwork really looks fantastic in person with a period character and over all style that is really hard to beat.
The chrome and stainless trim all present and correct, and appears to be all original genuine Henry Ford, with the same wear and patina as the rest of the exterior, showing a well loved and well used overall appearance.
The interior has that unmistakable old car smell that takes you straight back, with well worn leather that really tells a story in itself, and with the original hood lining and carpet now a distant memory for this old girl, you don't have to worry about mud on your boots, while sitting back in a seat that's just like a big comfortable old couch!
The nice smooth old Flathead residing under the hood ticks over lovely, and generally seems more than happy in her work, with the original old column shift still in place and working as they do, taking you back to a far simpler time....
Old dress rings and caps look super cool, and a set of modern radials make her ride a lot better yet still look the part, while the Original black and silver first issue plates are still registered to this old girl, and give her a true period Kiwiana style that is very hard to beat.
Inspection will impress, a very rare opportunity to own a classic survivor that has a look and presence you just can't duplicate.......it's taken years of neglect to look this good!
