Description : Gateway Classic Carso of Chicago is proud to present this sleeper 1956 Ford Victoria. The Ford saw a resto-mod conversion in the early 90s to the beast that you see here today. The original engine was yanked in favor of a built 460 cubic inch big block from a Lincoln making some very healthy power. A C6 automatic transmission sends power to the Ford 9" axle housing spinning the rear wheels. though not an "all-out" race built engine, there is plenty of torque to throw you back in your seat at any speed. A stall converter in the 1800-2000 range helps get the powerplant spinning up to speed quickly and makes for a potent launch from a stop very consistently. The paint and interior, though done nearly 30 years ago, look as though it was done less than 5 years ago. Some minor scratches and chips can be found if you look hard enough, but after all, this Ford is a driver. This classic Ford is one heavy foot away from screaming down the quarter mile in less than 12 seconds! Don't miss an opportunity to own both beauty and the beast in one classic package!

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.
