Did you notice the 49 convt for sale on ebay 2408489206? It still has the Fireball 8 but would be a heck of a machine with a 600+hp 455 and a modern suspension.
LINK. Geez, Jim. It would be a shame to cut up and modify a nice survivor like that! :ball: While I do agree with you that having a '49 with the 455 and a modern drivetrain would be bliss, just start with a car that needs help in the first place. :beer
mmm.... I wish I could've seen the '49 Roadmaster.... It's long gone from eBay . And this thread predates my joining the board.
