Looking for a real street rod with legitimate street rod history? This is it.
Originally built by Rick Dyer, one of Detroits respected traditional street rod craftsmen, and powered by a Total Performance 347 stroker built by John Vermeersch, this 39 Tudor has the pedigree, the bones, andmost importantlythe drivability serious buyers look for. Rick Dyer was a prominent participant in the 1992 Hot Rod Magazine Fastest Street Car Shootout, a benchmark era for true street driven performance cars. Voted the man and the Fastest Street Car.

This is an all steel, rust free street rod thats been enjoyed, preserved, and recently refreshed with a completely new interior. Its not a fragile showpiece or a trailer queenits a car you can hop in, drive, and enjoy with confidence.

Preservation & Recent Work
I rescued the car from further decay and completed key preservation and usability upgrades:
Replaced the rusted toolbox area and deck lid
Restored windows, felts, and regulators
Installed a brand new interior with power Volvo bucket seats, trimmed in NOS Porsche plaid (a subtle nod to Henry Fords Scottish heritage)
Updated gauges
New Alpine Bluetooth / CD / Sirius receiver, 50 amp system, and new Alpine speakers
All work documented in a restoration book and receipts included with the sale

This street rod is for the guy who wants to drive. Its a very beautiful, highly presentable car with real street credibilitynot a trailer queen. Youll appreciate the traditional craftsmanship, honest character, and the fact that it does exactly what a proper street rod should do: get in, cruise, and turn heads doing it.
