This 1948 Ford Anglia project was brought to the US in the 1980s and built into a drag car before being acquired by the current owner’s family in 2015. Since then, the car has been disassembled, partially refurbished, and outfitted with a supercharged 350ci Chevrolet V8 with Brodix cylinder heads and dual Weber four-barrel carburetors. The engine is linked to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with a high-stall torque converter, and the car rides on a fabricated steel frame with adjustable coilovers, a Jaguar-style rear assembly, rack-and-pinion steering, and Aerospace Components four-wheel disc brakes. Highlights include a chopped roof, a forward-tilting front clamshell, side exhaust pipes, Billet Specialties 15” wheels, and red paint with yellow flame graphics. The incomplete interior features gray bucket seats, a custom aluminum dashboard, Dakota Digital gauges, and Dynamat insulation. This custom Anglia is now offered on behalf of the owner with build records, spare parts, custom hood props, and an Idaho title.

The steel body was modified with a chopped roof, and the single-piece fiberglass front clamshell tilts forward.

Red paint is accented by yellow flame graphics, and custom glass has been installed. A ribbed roof panel, a polished grille insert, round side mirrors, side exhaust pipes, and teardrop taillights are among the exterior details.

Billet Specialties 15” alloy wheels are mounted with big-and-little Nexen tires. The custom-fabricated steel frame rides on a fully independent suspension with tubular front control arms, a Jaguar-style rear assembly, and adjustable coilovers all around. The car is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with Aerospace Components brake calipers that are inboard-mounted out back.

The cabin has been lined with Dynamat insulation, and the bucket seats are trimmed in gray vinyl with red stitching. Power window regulators are mounted in the doors, and a Vintage Air climate control system has been added, though the air conditioning system has not been charged. No carpets or door panels are present, though an uninstalled headliner is included in the sale.

The steering wheel is mounted to a tilt column, and the custom aluminum dashboard houses a Dakota Digital instrument cluster that is angled toward the driver. The digital odometer has not been calibrated.

The 350ci Chevrolet V8 crate engine is equipped with a four-bolt-main block, Brodix cylinder heads, and a 6-71 supercharger sourced from The Blower Shop. Dual Weber four-barrel carburetors are mounted to a BDS Xcelerator adapter plate, and the aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric puller fan.
