Runs Great! Drive it Home!

Less than 7000 miles since COMPLETE Restoration

This one looks and runs great. Upgraded with a period correct 283-V8 Chevy engine equipped with a 3-speed TH-350 Automatic Transmission, 9-inch Ford 360 Third Member, RV Shift Kit, 1200 rpm high torque Stall Converter, Edelbrock manifold, Carter 9605-S 600cfm 4-Brl carb, new power steering, new rear drum/front disc brakes, complete new front-end, custom interior, carpet, headliner, swivel Captains Seats, vintage gauges, chrome wheels, tires and dual exhaust.

Originally built at Ford's San Jose, CA plant. Reportedly part of Helms Bakery of Los Angeles delivery van fleet in the 1960's. In 2003 complete restoration and two-tone green/cream custom paint done by Performance Rod and Truck Center in San Diego who owned and rebuilt it to be used as their "shop truck”.

When the shop closed in 2004 the owner sold it to a friend who drove it to Seattle where it was garaged and only used for going to local car shows. I purchased it last year for business advertising and drove it back to San Diego with no issues. (Almost half of the miles on it now were from driving it to Seattle and back).

It's been great for local deliveries, but I need to get something larger now for longer distance hauling. I also own a 1955 Thunderbird that also runs and drives perfectly. My wife won't let me keep both... so I must sell this or I'll wind up sleeping in it!
