This is a fully-rebuilt custom Hot Rod special which (according to supplied paperwork) originally started out as a 1935 Ford Roadster (build date 04-01-35), was rebuilt/customised by Dan Slayton of Bakersfield, California between 1984-’86, and was later shipped to the U.K. in 2005, where it was later transformed into a circa 1928/’29 Model A Roadster bodied-build (fitted W/ a chromed Model A windscreen surround, plus custom fibreglass body built in Yorkshire, U.K.), featuring a custom-built grille, chromed inserts, petrol tank and retrofit frame steels all cast in the style of a 1932 Ford. The car was fitted W/ full classic MoPar running gear, such as a retrofit 5.3-Litre 318-CID Chrysler LA engine originally from a 1969 Plymouth police cruiser, including a rebuilt TorqueFlite “Street Racer” automatic transmission W/ 8” Gennie Nostalgia shifter, and an 8.25:1 live rear axle differential ratio from a 1976 Plymouth Volare.
The car also features a custom-built full steel floor, custom smooth steelie wheels + whitewalls, custom-fitted Pete-&-Jakes front axle I-beam, chromed hairpin + dampers, Buick-finned front drum brakes, Plymouth-finned rear drum brakes, Posie springs, the steering column + wheel from a Triumph, and a modified bench seat from a Hillman Minx, plus lots of other new components and custom-fitted equipment. Full Kustom gray respray, black/grey interior.
The car is fitted with an age-related six-character black plate registration; “468 UXK”, which matches a 1957 London plate.
This car was featured at Mathewson’s classic car auction and sales showroom, Pickering, Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K., October 2021.
