1950 Ford Custom Deluxe V-8 Convertible for Sale

The 1950 Custom Deluxe V-8 models used Dearborn’s venerable flathead V-8, displacing 239 cubic inches, and with a compression ratio of 6.8:1.

Fed by a two-barrel Holley carburetor, the L-head V-8 was rated at 100 horsepower. The engine in this Custom Deluxe is believed to be original to the car and while its exact rebuild history is unknown,

the engine is said to have accumulated very few miles since the Ford was restored. The engine is said to start readily from cold when the manual choke is engaged, and no issues are reported with the three-speed manual transmission. No leaks are reported from the powertrain.

An aftermarket welded aluminum radiator, with a thermostatically controlled fan, has been installed under the hood, with new hoses. The engine bay presents as otherwise stock, and shows only minor surface corrosion in a few areas.
