Ford Anglia 4.3 Liter V6 1949
General description :
4.3L V6, 700R4 AUTO, VERY CLEAN IN/OUT, SHARP COLOR COMBO, RUNS/DRIVE GR8, SHRP!
This one is just too much fun to pass up. It only takes a quick glance to know this 1949 Ford Anglia is not just some classic British economy car. The slick paint and wheels are just a hint at the mighty motor, overdrive transmission, and custom interior. This is the unique build for someone who knows really cool things come in small packages.
The Ford Anglia might have helped put England on wheels, but it's a rare sight over here today. In fact, many British car fans might be keen on seeing an Anglia at their favorite car show. But don't let them get to close, or else this wild child might make them spill their Sleepy Time tea. After all, the blue and this one is super-slick. Plus, the expertly deleted bumpers, bright headlights, large dual exhaust tips, LED taillights, and aggressively staggered alloys will make anyone take notice. This is a cool interpretation on how to take a classic economy car and make it into a show-stopping custom build.
The custom work continues on the inside. There's the comfort of four individual bucket seats. And the tan leather on there nicely coordinates with the door panels, headliner, and carpeting for a uniform presentation that will impress everyone. More than just look great, you get all the right luxuries like power windows. Plus, there is an AM/FM/CD/DVD touchscreen stereo expertly integrated into the custom center console. The driver gets a nice tan and chrome steering wheel. Beyond that is a full set of gauges, including a column-mounted tach – a nice indication of something good under the hood.
The engine bay has been given a full American makeover. The 4.3-liter V6 is over four times larger than what was available in the original Anglia, and so you can see the whole presentation is stuffed with power. In fact, the motor has been upgraded further with a dual plenum air intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and Hedman headers. So the growl of the dual exhaust lets everyone know this classic Ford has some muscle. More than just powerful, this one was built to be a true driver. Wilwood front disc brakes, modern performance tires, and the updated independent front suspension gives this classic all the right moves. And the four-speed automatic transmission is great for performance downshifts as well as overdrive cruising.
This a one-of-a-kind that won't disappoint with the smiles it gives you in private, and the crowds it attracts in public. So if you want something distinct, powerful, and absolutely cool, call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
