Nice driving hot rod. Lots of power. Needs interior finished and upgraded. Will not pass NSRA safety inspection. No air or heat. No e-brake. Wipers installed but not operational.

Drive as is or add your own touches. Not perfect but lots of fun and looks! A couple of chips, a few bugs, lots of smiles! Never run on strip or driven in rain since owning it since 2001. 2600 mi on engine. Unique spiderweb paint on firewall and matching dash. Rare, hard to find body style. Very few Hudson 2 dr sedans left.

This vehicle has ample head room for those of you concerned about the four inch chop. Notice the arc of the roofline above the passenger area. At six ft and 200 plus, I can wear a cowboy hat if I wanted to while driving. That is one of the main reasons I bought it nearly 10 years ago- the room inside and how well it drove. Have lost interest in finishing it. The 383 is a torque monster and not a high rpm race engine. 400-425 HP. Cruises effortlessly. Gets better gas mileage then my 79 El Camino SS Royal Knight with a mild 355. (El Camino would also be for sale if interested. Ground up restoration. I bought it new and then back again a few years ago.)
