Vehicle description
Vehicle Details I am offering for sale my 1947 Hudson 2 door sedan that has been my pride and joy and daily driver since restoration was mostly completed in 2008.Last winter I replaced the front bench upholstery with new material that I bought extra of when the upholstery was first done 15 years ago. I still have a few yards of the gray/burgundy pinstripe mohair I bought from Stitts Upholstery. I also installed a Vintage Air Stage 2 A/C unit last winter, as well as a new Edelbrock 600 cfm carb and new aluminum manifold.The windshield wipers are still vacuum, and don't work very well. An electric conversion costs around $250. There is lots of wiper motor access behind the radio grill. The car is in Boise, Idaho where it doesn't rain much.The car is made up of donor parts from 4 similar sedans that were parted out to get one awesome totally rust free car. The engine and transmission were donors from a late 80's Suburban. The engine is a Chevy Goodwrench stock engine. The Ford 9" rear came from a 80"s Mercury Grand Marquis. It is a posi-trac rear that was shortened (new Dutchman axles) to fit. The 9" gears are 3.5, which is a pretty good all around gearing. A Painless wiring harness was installed during the rebuild, along with new gauges.The front end is a Fatman Mustang 2 power steering and disc brake add on. The car steers, drives, and stops great.The stock 350 Chevy is plenty adequate for around town and reasonable freeway driving. I always thought I might upgrade to a 383 Stroker or similar engine. I am presently restoring a Mercury Woodie, so guess where the Hudson sale proceeds will go!I installed a casette tape deck/radio. I will include some casettes of your choice with sale.The car starts right up, and drives great. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them, and the alignment was just checked and fine tuned.I would encourage a personal inspection and test drive of this sweet post war beauty. I have a lift in my garage, and would be happy to raise the car up for inspection.I will help with shipping. Please E mail with questions. Images Download the Motors app
