39 Zephyr Update
 

As some of you read my previous post about the mud Daubers clogging some oil galleys in my V12. Im happy to say that its all back together and running great. Have logged 125 miles so far this week with zero problems. Heres a few pics with some friends cars out for lunch.

That is an absolutely magnificent automobile!!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Glad the bugs didn't keep you off the road too long. The goal is to have my lincoln out on the road again this weekend too if the stars all align.

Very nice Ken, that interior is first rate. I work on HVAC equipment and mud wasps are always plugging up gas orifices and pilots, they seem to be more attracted to propane than N.G.

Amazing car!

You done very well!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update

It's got my vote for a Dearborn winner!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

I had one of these back in 55 down in Key west. It was in a junk yard. We pulleed the V12 and put in an 85 HP Ford, The car had a Columbia and we could run up to mimai on Liberty to party. The trunk was large enough for us to sleep in. Top speed was around 75 in OD, but it wouldn't pull the 7mile bridge, had to kick it out. Fun car, don't know what happened to it??.

That is a great lineup of coupes! Two LZ coupes together, a rare sight. I am so glad it all worked out. That has to be one of the oddest situations I have heard of with an engine.

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

I love the lines of that '39 ......... nice ride Ken !!!!!!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Beautiful car!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Takes my breath away!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update

Hey Ken,
They sure got IT right with this design ! Wonder why they didn't stick with a winner and continue that style ?

Glad that you've kept it stock as that adds to the beauty IMO :) !!

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Agree much better looking than the later slab sided thing.

Super, looking forward to bar-b-que and a ride from your home to Country's. Jim...

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Hey, I kinda like my slab sided thing. (But yeah, I prefer the 39 too.)

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

No offence intended Zephyr Q , if yours landed at my front door I'd gladly put it in my garage. I guess my 48 ford is "slab sided" too. I'd like a 39 deluxe version.

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

Very nice, hope to see car in person someday,

Re: 39 Zephyr Update
 

A bit of associated trivia :) !

I know a guy who has a coupe like yours, only bone stock. He has this car in a 'shipping container' that has been sitting in the back of his business. If has been in that container for a looong time ! He has a few other goodies in such containers also, but this one is special. He knew that I'm into old iron, so he ask me if I'd like to see this car :rolleyes: ! When he opened the doors, I darn near choked on my own saliva !! Some faded shade of green.
He allowed me to sit in it for close exam and to lift hood. Nice guy , but said that he had no plans for this beauty and wouldn't sell it for now.
So, they are still out there....and not all are rusted out.

Kenny, Looks awesome!! Glad to see you are on the road!!
