Welcome to "old-school" cool with this highly customized 1951 Ford!

This is an older restoration and is being sold as-is with no warranty. This is a used classic car with some minor imperfections that the buyer must acknowledge and accept before bidding. It is an excellent cruiser and still shows very well.

This vehicle is from my father's estate and there is little known about it's history other than it is a beautiful and unique custom. It was driven very little and was mostly in storage since until he passed-away suddenly in 2013.

si c'est vraiment un survivor, le mec qui lui a mis des feux de cad 90's et un enorme troisieme feux stop est vraiment un blaireau!   

a part ca, elle est vraiment magnifique   sectionnée en plus on dirait, non ?   

J'hallucine aussi comment un gars qui achète, remet en état un survivor, va ensuite faire une modification qui a rien a voir   
Je ne pense pas qu'elle soit sectionnée
