RMCIII Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 A little history on the car. This is a late 60's, early 70's street rod conversion. 283 w/3 deuces was matted to a 4spd. transmission. The color of the car was a light purple when dad got it in the 70's. It was driven for a time then went under a "major" restoration. The car was completely stripped, sanded, and reassembled using all genuine Henry Ford steel. Every piece of chrome on the exterior is also genuine Henry Ford. The grill and a few other items, that were not chrome, were sent off to Dennis Carpenter to have them chromed. Once the car was reassembled, it began it's new life as a driven show car. It would spend the next 3 decades, 80's to 2007, being show all over the Tri-State area. It also saw shows in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania. Since the car was not stock it would never win the AACA National Title, but took several Best of Shows at AACA meets. It also won Hot Rod Magazine Best Rod in the Show award, 1983-84, and NSRA's Best Overall 1982-83. Several years it would win World of Wheels Best of the Show award including the last time it was shown in 2007. In the late 90's the car was once again completely stripped down, sanded and repainted. The sign in the pictures is what he finally decided to call the car after his 2nd ground up restoration. After 2007 it was placed into semi-retirement and was only brought out a few times a year until 2018 when it was just parked in the garage and started every once in a while.
