This is from 2 months back and pretty damn cool:

Coyote-Powered 1949 Ford Tudor for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $44,250 on October 5, 2021 (Lot #56,599) | Bring a Trailer

Car needs more TLC with wiring and such, but still, the sale price seemed like a bargain.

WOW, just, wow. I feel so bad for that car, it was probably a nice 390 car to start with. The suspension is a mess, whats with that stance if you're NOT going to add four wheel drive ? The hood doesn't close ? The trunk lid is crooked ? I would have to think the builder is embarrassed. If they aren't, they should be. when I looked, the bids were 49K something. Icertainly wouldn't pay you anything CLOSE to that for such a poor job. And whats the fascination with Coyote power ? A Cleveland, and FE, and a Lima can ALL make as much power or more, and they all fit an early Stang a heckuva lot easier ! Expalin Coyote fever, please. LSG

People have been repowering old mustangs with new mustang power for decades. The coyote is an amazing powerplant in it's own right and the fact that it powers new mustangs makes it an even cooler powerplant for a classic. Some people don't like the modern smoothness of a 4 cam v8 in a classic, but many do. For me, it's outside my budget for my car due to the surgery required to make it fit, but I still want one.

Aside from the Fram oil filter and Home Depot PVC air filter tube, I think there's a lot to like here. I don't think this car could be duplicated for its sale price of 67K: 2850lbs dry with 410 at the wheels...nearly 500 crank hp! Respectable.

Very cool car and a bit more room inside than a mustang. I'm always torn between the earlier horizontal headlights and the later vertical style. Great cars either way.
