Hey Edwin, it's Yonatan here..thanks for the info. Here's all i know from the rig and its past:
'1949 Hudson Super Series. This car runs like a new one and drives pretty much like one too! Fires right up with no issues running. I did not build this one. It was put together I was told by the previous owner in North Carolina and that the car originated from up around Wyoming. It is my personal car and I agonized over letting it go. Super attached! I however have bought a 1950 Gillig bus so the car has to go. It could probably use a tune-up and an oil change. It has an oil leak around the oil pan somewhere. It has a new radiator installed but needs a bigger four core radiator. This car runs like hell! I never hotrodded it much but it will smoke the tires for about two blocks if you put your foot in it. Feels like driving an overgrown go cart on steroids!
500ci Eldorado Cadillac motor and transmission. The linkage on the carb could use some work as the secondaries aren't opening the way they are supposed to. I was told by the previous owner that it was punched out some and cammed. I have no way of verifying this. I do know that it spins up like a small block. I have a youtube video that I am including the link to.

It has a nova front clip so it has power steering and power brakes that are hooked up all the way around and work great! Could use an alignment. Pulls to the right just a hair. The front has lowering springs with spacers in them. I was going to pull the spacers out but didn't get around to it. The rear has three inch lowering blocks.
Chrome reverse steelie rims front and rear. Brand new Coker 14 inch bias ply tires upfront. Less than 100 miles on them. There is a slight scuff on the passenger side whitewall. Rear tires are 60 series radials on 15 inch rims.
The floorboards are solid and not rusted through. I had just got done washing the car before taking the picutures so there is a little bit of water on the floor mats in the picures.
Car needs side glass and interior.
Headlights and taillights work. Rear blinkers work. Front blinkers were not hooked up. I hooked them up and found they have a grounding problem so the front blinkers are not working.
I installed a 50's chrysler steering wheel that is super cool! The telescoping feature on the 70's caddy column doesn't work with this wheel but the tilt function does.
Rear end is out of an S-10 and has from what I can tell 4:11's in it. Runs about 70mph at 3,000rpm.
The rear subframe is boxed tubing. This car was the first unibody car!
The motor sits in it like it came from the factory!
The body has various dents, dings and rubs. The flame job is an old school jobbie that is certainly cool and I started wet sanding it out to see what it looked like. I also have the rear door handles that I will re-install.
No windshield wipers. It has a working tach, water temp gauge, oil pressure and ammeter guage. Speedometer is not hooked up.'
