This 1950 Ford was built into a street rod in the late 1990s. Its body was painted tangerine and mounted on a modified chassis, which was also fitted with Mustang II-style front end with adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, and rack-and pinion steering. It rides on 15″ Centerline wheels with staggered tires and four-wheel disc brakes, and the rear end has adjustable dampers and traction bars. Power comes from a Titus Performance-built aluminum 434ci V8 with CHI heads, a CHI 3V aluminum high-rise intake, a Holley double-pumper 850cfm carburetor, and Hooker headers, while the Ford C6 automatic is linked to a 9″ rear end with a limited-slip differential. The custom interior features a roll bar, power-adjustable bucket seats, power windows and locks, a tilt column, Vintage Air climate control, a Sony stereo, and more as described below. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, this Shoebox street rod is now offered with spare parts, diagrams, and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The body was shaved, the rear fenders were flared to accommodate the wider rear tires, and the chassis was also modified. The tangerine paintwork is contrasted by chrome trim, and modern headlights were fitted.
A Mustang II-style front end with adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, rack-and pinion steering, and disc brakes was added along with traction bars, adjustable dampers, and disc brakes out back. The 15″ Centerline wheels are mounted with 205/60 Yokohama tires up front and 315/60 Mickey Thompson rubber out back. A dual reservoir master cylinder and GM power steering pump were used.
The custom interior features a roll bar, power-adjustable bucket seats, harnesses, power windows and locks, a tilt column, Vintage Air climate control, a Sony stereo, Lokar pedals, and a Hurst shifter with line lock.
