1948 Ford Other Streetrod for sale

The quintessential fat-fendered rod, this 1948 Ford Coupe streetrod offers big car space, gorgeous pastel colors, plenty of 350 V8 power, and great details that make it stand out in a crowded field. There aren't many hot rods that can honestly be considered daily driver capable, but this one will make you want to slide behind the wheel every chance you get, even if only to join you on your morning commute to the office.
Dressed in an appealing shade of Lime Green/Light Blue mixed paint, this awesome Ford has a familiar look that's never going to go out of style, but with a few custom touches that give it a unique look. The most custom obvious parts (other than that high-impact color, of course) are the painted graphics on its hood, flanks, and deck lid, the deleted bumpers fore and aft, and the aggressively raked stance that all work together to create a visually unique piece of streetrod excellence. Of course, with such a timeless and good-looking design right out-of-the-box, there was no reason to chop, shave, or smooth anything off this 1948 to get the point across. The paint was done a few years back, but it's held up incredibly well with very little imperfections to speak of. Frankly, other than a very small chip on the passenger's fender, and very fine cracking and scuffing where the hood closes (which means you can't see it until you open the hood), there's not really anything to complain about. And with a professional buff-and-wax, most of those imperfections would be remedied, and the finish would feel much smoother to the touch. The point being, this car is very impressive, the curb appeal is through the roof, and the overall, top driver-quality presentation is off the charts. The sheetmetal is original and laser straight, and most of the factory trim pieces were left in place, so it looks right from any angle. That means bright pieces on the beautiful wide grille, the stainless side trim, and even the window surrounds, all of which add contrast to the high-impact pastel paint. There was obviously a good amount of money spent on the brightwork and nothing looks out of place, even if you're a die-hard Ford enthusiast. The car just looks right.
The attractive vinyl-and-tweed custom interior is why you'll find this car so appealing as a driver, with a no-nonsense look that beautifully blends old with new. Sculpted high-back bucket seats are up front, split by a custom center console, while the bench seat out back has plenty of room for three. The bespoke two-tone upholstery work is neatly done and is quite tasteful overall, with a fresh look that provides a nice update inside the cabin. Sure, this style of streetrod interior peaked in popularity in the late-'90s and early-'00s, but nevertheless it still looks great and has held up extremely well through the years. High-end looking woodgrain on the dash, center console, door panels, and Grant GT steering wheel really kick things up a notch, giving the car a super-cool Art Deco look when combined with the lime green/light blue paint inside and out. A full array of white-faced Stewart Warner gauges ahead of the driver set the tone in the cockpit and keep an accurate eye on the engine's vitals, and just below the dash a custom panel was installed to house the controls and vents for the R134a A/C system. A tilt column with a Grant GT wheel make it feel more contemporary, as does the Lokar shifter inside the middle console, and this '48 further amenities in power windows, seatbelts, and a Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit that pumps tunes through upgraded speakers stashed throughout the cabin. Custom upholstery in the headliner and door panels looks awesome, especially with those embedded flames at the flanks. The back seat is reasonably sized for full-sized adults, so it was appropriately upholstered to match, and there's a good-sized trunk that was finished to match as well, complete with super-cool bespoke panels.
It isn't a horsepower monster, but this good-looking Ford is ready to cruise thanks to a 350 cubic inch Chevy V8. Powered by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake manifold, and HEI ignition system, it's a strong runner with a fat torque curve to get the big coupe up and running without working too hard. The block's been dressed-to-impress with flame-etched chrome valve covers at the flanks and a chrome air cleaner up top, while chrome accessories like the modern alternator and A/C compressor really pop out from the blacked-out engine bay. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and 10-bolt rear end mean it's friendly around town and on the highway, with plenty of pop up and down the throttle. A stainless custom dual exhaust system with chambered mufflers provides an old-school soundtrack, while power steering and power front disc brakes ensure an easy drive every time out. Rolling stock includes chrome Baby Moon wheels wrapped in 225/70/14 front and 235/70/15 rear Cooper Cobra white-letter radials that finish off the look perfectly.
Nicely restored and obviously built to drive, this cool Ford streetrod is a painless way to get a cool old car without spending a fortune. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
