A 396-cubic-inch big-block V8 powers the Dove Tail Roadster through a 3-speed automatic, with dual Holley carburetors, a Weiand intake, MSD distributor, aluminum radiator, and electric fans. Its custom chassis uses a Winters quick-change rear axle, drilled 1947 Ford spindles with Chevy disc brakes, and a coil-over rear with a 4-link setup. The restored interior has a machine-turned dash, clear gauges, Grant steering wheel, and upholstery showing some use.
