Known as "Cashmere," this custom Resto-Mod 1957 Continental Mark II

　　is powered by a Ford 5.0-liter Coyote engine equipped with an

　　Edelbrock Victor II EFI manifold. The engine is mated to a

　　Performance Automatic 4R70W Street Smart 4-speed automatic

　　transmission with a Simple Shift transmission control system

　　operated using a Mastershift push-button head unit. The build

　　started with a California car and was designed and modified by the

　　acclaimed Havasu Speed. The original frame rails were boxed and

　　melded with a newly designed front clip from Jim Meyer Enterprises.

　　The full front and rear independent suspension were designed by

　　Kugel Komponents to support the weight of a larger car

　　(approximately 4,900 pounds). The power braking system has Wilwood

　　6-piston calipers clamping on 13-inch drilled and slotted rotors.

　　The undercarriage is completely powder-coated in two-tone colors

　　and sports a center section belly pan for a completely clean look.

　　The 19-inch wheels were cut by Colorado Custom with 19x9 fronts and

　　19x9.5 rears. This custom Continental's smooth ride is courtesy of

　　a RideTech air-ride suspension system controlled by AccuAir

　　management. Subtle body modifications include the roof chopped by

　　1.75 inches, front headlight fenders shortened by .375 inches, rear

　　decklid spare tire hump shortened by 2.75 inches and sectioned by 2

　　inches, custom door handles designed to follow the side body line,

　　and the front bumper completely redesigned, shortened and tucked

　　into the car's body. The Dark Cashmere paint (a Bentley color) was

　　provided by Sickens. Premier Street Rod of Lake Havasu, AZ, did the

　　body prep and paint. Audio was provided and installed by KICKER.

　　The all-leather interior was designed by Ron Mangus Interiors with

　　the dashboard designed by the owner. Gauges were done by Classic

　　Instruments with custom logos approved by Ford. Other features

　　include power rack & pinion steering, air conditioning and power

　　windows. Accolades include the inaugural Sam Foose Memorial Design

　　Award presented by Chip Foose at the 2020 LA Roadster Show, Al

　　Slonaker Achievement Award and Al Slonaker Outstanding Interior at

　　the 2020 LA Roadster Show, Goodguys Del Mar First Place Custom Rod,

　　Goodguys Scottsdale Top 10 Award and Goodguys Custom of the Year
