1927 Ford, Model – T Roadster, Hot Rod Convertible, REAL STEEL Body

Description

1927 Ford, Model Roadster– T, Hot Rod Convertible, REAL STEEL Body and Frame.Ford 9 Inch Rear End w/”Coil Over” Shocks.

Never raced, never made to burn tires, and never mistreated in any way.

1553 miles since re-build. Always garage kept. It has a brand new ZZ-4, 350 engine and TH-350 Chevy Transmission (has small leak like most all TH-350s). It shifts perfect every time and never falters. Locking tilt steering wheel w/Power Steering is way cool! Both passenger and driver-side seat belts helps to keep you in place.

High Performance ZZ-4 Engine Information Purchased new 4/23/13:

*Iron Block

*Forged 1053 Steel Crank

Comment: I have heard that this motor should be creating about 400hp.It has not been dyno’ed nor do I recommend it. It will, however snap your head back if you are the least bit aggressive on the throttle.In other words, “hold on”!
