“UNIQUEMOD-RETRO 1949 FORD CUSTOM THUNDERBIRD
1949 Ford Custom body front and rear welded onto a 1991 Ford Thunderbird chassis. A classic look on a modern car.
Unique automobile for someone who wants to stand out from the crowd. This is not a kit car, it is all steel. It was built by Unorthodox Customs using a 1949 donor car for the fenders and bumpers. Have original build photos. The body lines and panel fit are flawless. Looks like the body came from the factory this way. The chrome bumpers and iconic bullet-nose grille really make this car stand out. The styling and gorgeous deep purple custom paint job turns heads wherever it goes. The car has always been stored in a garage.
Powerful V8 5.0/302 HO with EFI. All the mechanical systems work great and are original to the vehicle so any shop can work on it. Perfect for highway driving with all the modern conveniences including power steering, cruise control, and an automatic transmission with overdrive. Handles great on the city streets and back roads with the fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Factory heat and air conditioning for any climate. Original gray velour interior is very clean, front bucket seats and bench in back, power seats, cassette player with equalizer, center console, power windows and locks.
Ready to go for the coming season. Drive as-is or use as a platform for a performance build. “
