When Ford released the Zodiac in 1950, it was billed as an executive car. Indeed, it remained the largest passenger car in the company’s range until its replacement came along in 1972.
What Ford didn’t say was that with a bit of fettling, you could still have that four-door executive car – but with a 300+ bhp V8, so you could take your family up the quarter mile and still go and do the weekly shop afterwards. And that’s what we have here, courtesy of Steve Harrison.
Although he didn’t do all the work, Steve finished the car off – and he’s fully intent on both cruising and racing it.
