This 1946 Ford Deluxe is a Tudor Sedan model that was acquired by the seller in 2005 after sitting unused in a field for approximately two decades. Subsequent modifications included one-piece front fenders and a repaint in orange along with the installation of a 5.0-liter V8, a five-speed manual transmission, and rear differential reportedly sourced from a 1992 Ford Mustang. Additional equipment includes beige vinyl upholstery, Mustang II independent front suspension, MSD ignition, backdated chrome bumpers, front disc brakes, and rear leaf springs.
The two-piece front fenders were each molded into single units prior to a body-off repaint in the Plymouth Prowler shade of Prowler Orange during current ownership. Chrome bumpers were sourced from a 1936 Ford, and additional features include custom pinstriping on the hood and trunk lid, dual exhaust outlets, and two side-view mirrors. Rock chips are noted by the seller along with a paint blemish on a front fender.
Body-colored steel wheels feature chrome trim rings and Ford-branded hubcaps and are wrapped in Coker whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by front discs with rear drums, and the car rides lower than stock on rear leaf springs and Mustang II independent front suspension with tubular upper control arms.
The cabin features two rows of bench seats that have been reupholstered in beige vinyl with a matching headliner, door panels, and carpets. The interior of the trunk is also trimmed in beige carpet, and amenities include a locking glovebox along with opening front ¾ vent windows.
An aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a body-colored metal dashboard housing VDO instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary displays for fuel level, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer display intermittently illuminates and reportedly shows just over 14k miles.
The 5.0-liter V8 was reportedly sourced from a 1992 Ford Mustang and features MSD ignition along with a custom short-ram intake, BBK headers, and a polished alternator and valve covers. The seller reports that an oil change was last performed in June 2019.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and differential, both of which are also said to have been sourced from a 1992 Mustang. The seller states that the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing were replaced prior to installation and notes that the transmission oLasionally pops out of second gear when downshifting.
