1952 Allard for sale, British Body meets Cadillac V-8 awesome !
Find the 1952 Allard for sale on Ebay
[nggallery id=98]
Seller states:
Up for auction is an original 1952 Allard K2. I doubt there is a more authentic K2 anywhere. This car has been my small town for the past 50+ years with just two owners. The 40,000 miles are original. It’s MATCHING NUMBERS Cadillac V-8 is faster than hell when paired with this all aluminum British hand rolled body. VIN number of 91K-3022 matches the number stamped in the block: 3022. Again, this is unusual for an Allard in that these cars were raced, and often had their engines replaced somewhere along the way.
There were only 119 of these cars made. Unlike most of the Allards I’ve seen, this one still sports its original hub caps and bumpers. The undercarriage has never been touched, still exhibiting the original factory leather straps on the suspension, and the wooden rocker boards and floors. I installed a new exhaust system and starter motor this past Summer. That’s all this car needed. Mechanically it is as solid as a rock. Even the factory leather door panels with those enormous zippers are still there.
Up until last year, the original carburetor, manifold and hood were on the car. They accompany the sale, as well as the original seats. Current seats are out of an AC. They are all in great order and can be switched back if you desire. There is no top. Despite the photos you see, all taken last month, this car was painted over 30 years ago. However, I can tell you that the front fenders, hood and deck lid have all been repainted within the last year. The front bumpers and headlight rings were replated this month. Oil pressure is 60 lbs. Gauges all work expect the gas gauge. Carpet is new. All glass is original and from the factory.

Awesome 36 done right in every way. This is a GREAT car !
Seller states
Up for auction is is one of the most traditional ’36 Ford three window coupes available on Ebay. It is owned by long time Hot Rodder and nostalgia buff “Axle” – a California based show promoter / organizer. If fiberglass Street Rods covered in Billet are your fancy you may want to look elsewhere as this may not be for you. If you are part of the ever growing “diehards” that appreciates true nostalgic Hot Rods and Customs please read on.
What you see in front of you is the real McCoy. A 1936 Ford three window coupe that has been in California for a very long time. This car is all Henry Ford steel and there are no aftermarket body parts anywhere. All fenders, running boards, hoods, body,grille, doors, and deck lid are real and original to the entire car. Nothing was added!
HISTORY: The car was found in Whittier California in the winter of 2005. It had sat dormant since 1962 ! The owner broke the axle and parked it ever since. When found, the car had old brittle Navy blue & white tuck & roll upholstery , custom made long shackles to lower the car a couple of inches, and on both A-Pillars there were lead filled holes where spot lights went . Also, in the trunk was one custom rusty 40′s ribbed 16 inch hub cap. You could also see the outline where rear fender skirts once were. The cars brake system was improved to 1940 Ford Hydraulic units some time during that period as well, and lastly, when the door panels were removed the inside doors were filled with newspaper, and upon carefully unravelling a part of it the newspaper showed “LOS ANGELES TIMES – 1949″ . So, its fair to say that the car was a very mile Custom / Rod from the late 40′s / 50′s. The car also had a later 8BA Flathead engine from 1949-1953, and other than headers it was pretty much stock.
The car was completely blown apart down to the bare frame. The body , hood, grille, and many other parts were carefully media blasted to start body work and reassembly . A leaky house roof dripped water on top of the car that was covered with soggy blankets, so there were a couple areas of rust that had built up over the years. Fabricator Fabian Valdez of Vintage Hammer “English Wheeled” new sheet metal and welded them to the effected area’s . Afterwards final body work and the build was completed by owner at home .High build Poly Primer then a custom mix ( by Stan Betz) of medium blue Urethane was applied. 2 piece Hood top was louvered by Eric Vaughn .
ENGINE: The engine that was installed in this beauty is a work of art. Another 8BA only this is totally disguised to appear itself as an earlier Flatty such as a 59AB ! Early intake, early heads, 2 bolt timing cover, early “Crab” Mallory distributor , etc. Engine has a Merc crank that was stroked to 4 1/8 . Bore is put at 3 5/16. Pistons are forged aluminum units. Block was ported and also relieved . An Isky 77B camshaft was installed – Lift 325. Duration 260. Lobe center 111. Johnson adjustable lifters help keep everything in sync. Valves are 1.660 – Intake , and 1.555 – Exhaust. Compression ratio is 9.3 to 1. Total, this engine creates 284 cubic inches. Custom made headers were put on the car along with a set of rare chrome exhaust cut outs from the 1950′s. 1 1/2 inch straight dual exhaust with chrome “pee shooter” tips exit the rear. A Thickstun 2 carb hi rise intake manifold was polished and installed. Dual 97 Strombergs with rare Scot Tops set on the intake. Polished Offy heads finish everything off.
TRANSMISSION: A 1939 Ford unit was installed after being rebuilt by early Ford specialist Bill Popp. The flywheel was media blasted then resurfaced . A brand new clutch , throw-out bearing, and pressure plate was installed.
REAR END: The rear is original to the car . The complete unit (drum to drum) was taken to Bill Popp for a total rebuild, and upon inspection a rare set of 3.54 gears were discovered . This makes driving on the freeway very nice !
SUSPENSION ~ BRAKES: A true 4 inch dropped axle by Chassis Engineering was installed along with a mono leaf. Early Ford F100 shock mounts were bolted to the front frame rails and gas shocks installed. The original unsplit ’36 wishbones were kept for the car. The entire 1940 Ford hydraulic brakes were rebuilt but new master cylinder and wheels cylinders added. To lower the rear we opted to straighten the rear crossmember almost horizontally flat. The rear spring is stock which gives an incredibly nice ride.
WHEELS ~ TIRES: 16 inch 1940 Ford “solids” were sand blasted and powder coated gloss black. smooth stainless beauty rings and 1941 Ford “beehive” caps installed. Firestone 5.25/5.50 x 16′s are mounted up front, and 7.50×16′s are mounted at the rear.
INTERIOR: The inside closely resembles what was once in the car during the 1940′s and 50′s. Done in Navy BLue & White tuck & roll , its very comfortable, Carpet was installed through the entire car (including trunk) and has white piping and shifter boot. All garnish moldings were sand blasted and rechromed . Also chromed were the windshield frame, air vent control knob, bumpers, guards, and many misc screws, nuts, bolts. The window regulators were thoroughly cleaned , rebuilt, and regreased. All the glass is brand new from Jacks Glass – Bloomington, California , and new felt / rubber installed . All windows/windshield open and close with ease.
WIRING: Completely redone using reproduction cloth covered wiring around the engine compartment. All running lights, brake lights, head lights, dash lights, dome lights, speedo are in working order.
MEDIA: As stated previously, this is a very well known car and is a multi show winner in the Traditional / Custom Car Culture world. It was featured in “HOT RODS” book by Alan Mayes – 2010. It graced the covers of Car Culture Deluxe magazine – December 2008. A huge article about it was featured in Street Rodder – February 2009. It was featured in Rod & Custom – July 2008, it has been featured in European and Japanese automotive publications many times, and lastly, was featured in Swank magazine when freelance photo journalist Frank De Blase photographed world famous model Tyler Stevens inside the car in a classy “black & white” retro style.
Guys, we could go on an on about this well known car. It literally has the BEST stance of all 1936 Ford three window Hot Rods, and is the reason why it rapidly gained media attention as well as popularity amongst fellow Rodders. It epitomizes the “Less is More” theory with is overall look , stance, and feel. With its early drivetrain , it has been an extremely reliable car, and has been driven to Las Vegas , Central California, as well as all over Southern California. This is not a show car where mirrors can be placed under it , but it is a very clean and rare Hot Rod that is driven on freeways and streets of the west coast in style.
