I have a 47 Convertible with a 350/350 combo, Holden front end (similar to Mustang II) and a Ford XY rear end (similar to 68 Mustang). Interior from Mazda 626 Coupe with Dragway 5 spoke mags, 15*7 & 15*8. Body is dechromed and shaved, but no other mods. I would have liked a chop, but I did not dare muck around with the complex folding roof mech.

Converts are pretty thin on the ground here in the land of OZ. Mine came from your land of USA and was a total basket case with no floor, no radiator, no engine, etc, etc, etc for a cost of $11 000 aus (about $20 000US), it's expensive down here but where else do you get a 47 Convert these days. Total build cost was $30 000 aus ($60 000 US)
