This fantastic piece of 1950's hot rodding history is powered by a 239cid flathead Mercury engine featuring dual carbs and Offenhauser heads. Constructed from a fiberglass body and placed onto a 40's Ford chassis, cars such as the Californian were among the earliest "kit" cars. Although little is known about the Californian Sport Special, it is agreed that it is incredibly rare with one other confirmed example and the possibility of a third body which was never mounted to a chassis.

This unique chance to go back in time and enjoy the world of hot rodding as it existed in the mid 50's in Southern California may be a one in a lifetime opportunity.
