PRICE REDUCED – This 1927 Ford Roadster was custom built as a radical one-off custom car, 100% street friendly which includes turn signals and horn, can be driven on the highway as well. The vehicle’s fiber glass T-bucket-style body was completely custom built with no expense spared both cosmetically and mechanically, She was modeled after the Brogie-built 1927 Model T roadster, custom designed and custom painted in a purple passion, pearl-essence and candy apple yellow with red neon fade stripes. The vehicle’s exterior has extensive custom paint and art work throughout with multiple candy applied colors and designs. Many documented photos showing the entire build along with original articles from a few different magazines.

The ’27 was built in Grovetown, GA with some exception of the bodywork (Jack Woltemar), the paint (John Cain), and the interior (Jeff Phipps Trim Shop), the Chevy LS7 454 (750hp) was recently (2022) rebuilt buy Redline Automotive Competition Engines and is now a 468ci. Which includes, Dart aluminum racing heads, Holley Dominator induction, MSD ignition, and custom made headers feeding into Flowmaster mufflers. The custom chassis features a Ford 9-inch with Strange axles, Chassis Engineering four link and coilovers out back, MII-based IFS with coilovers and Flaming River rack and pinion. The wing is from one of Darrell Gwynns’ top fuel dragsters.

I have a lot more photos and video, during the build, along with receipts.
