Acquired from an estate and restored just two years ago, this sedan blends classic styling with meaningful modern upgrades throughout.<\/p>\n Power comes from a strong 383 cubic inch stroker V8 equipped with Edelbrock fuel injection, delivering smooth, responsive performance. It\u2019s paired with a late-model full-synchronized Chevrolet transmission, uniquely adapted to a column shift through a custom linkage\u2014preserving the original driving feel while enhancing usability. With rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, and a 9-inch rear end, this Ford is engineered to drive confidently in modern conditions.<\/p>\n One of the standout features of this build is its thoughtfully upgraded lighting system\u2014an area where no detail was overlooked. The car is equipped with upgraded halogen-style headlights for improved nighttime visibility, along with LED taillights and a third brake light that enhance both safety and presence on the road. These subtle yet important enhancements make this classic far more enjoyable and practical to drive, especially in today\u2019s traffic.<\/p>\n The exterior is finished in a rich metallic maroon, applied in stages and professionally reassembled for a high-quality presentation. Brightwork and trim, including numerous Drake reproduction pieces, are straight and show beautifully. Inside, the custom red, white, and black interior reflects a significant investment, with approximately $7,500 spent to create a striking and comfortable cabin. The attention to detail continues into the fully upholstered trunk, with the battery neatly relocated for a clean finish.<\/p>\n Additional features such as Vintage Air climate control, AutoMeter gauges, a new wiring harness, aluminum radiator, headers, and stainless side exhaust round out a build that was clearly done with care and intention.<\/p>\n With just 3,000 miles since completion, this 1946 Ford Super Deluxe is a true turn-key restomod\u2014offering the charm of a classic with the drivability, safety, and comfort of a modern build. Ready to be shown, driven, and enjoyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1946 FORD SUPER DELUXE SEDAN – Ground-Up Restomod \u2022 383 Stroker \u2022 Fuel Injection \u2022 Modern Lighting & Comfort \u201cThey don\u2019t build them like this anymore\u2014so someone built it better.\u201d HIGHLIGHTS \u2022 Ground-up restoration completed approximately 2 years ago \u2022 383 cubic inch stroker V8 with Edelbrock fuel injection \u2022 Late-model full-synchronized Chevrolet transmission (column-shifted […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2264,"featured_media":1973657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":""},"product_cat":[18],"product_tag":[658,2031,59,58],"class_list":["post-1973656","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-auctions","product_tag-ford","product_tag-ford-super-deluxe","product_tag-restomod-car-auctions","product_tag-hot-rod-and-custom-car-auctions"],"yoast_head":"\n
