1947 Ford Super Deluxe Street Rod

Here is a street rod that delivers the best of both worlds—the timeless, unmistakable shape of a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe paired with a modern, high-quality build engineered for genuine driving pleasure. This is no compromised weekend project; it’s a fully sorted, turnkey classic that comes from a meticulous private collection, kept in climate-controlled storage since 2009. Underneath sits a purpose-built Roadster Shop chassis with coil-over suspension, a Currie rear end, and 4-wheel disc brakes, while the 390-horsepower 302 Ford Racing engine breathes through Go EFI fuel injection for effortless cold starts and confident, cruise-anywhere reliability. Add vintage air conditioning, Dakota Digital gauges, and a tastefully finished leather interior, and you have a show-worthy rod that’s every bit as rewarding to drive as it is to display. Documented with receipts from the 2009 drivetrain upgrades, this is exactly the kind of thoughtfully executed, provenance-backed build discerning enthusiasts seek out. If you value quality craftsmanship, modern drivability, and vintage character in equal measure, this Super Deluxe deserves your serious attention.
