The seller is offering three LaDawri, including an intriguing unpainted Conquest model that is the first listed. This specific car features a rare LaDawri Conquest fiberglass body fitted to a 1954 Ford with a Y-block engine—a classic V8 powerplant known for its durability and distinctive sound. Remarkably, the engine still runs, making this car a solid foundation for a restoration project.

The Conquest is also equipped with a floor-shift manual transmission, delivering a hands-on, classic driving experience. The chassis and floorpan have been modified from the original 1954 Ford to support the Conquest’s fiberglass body, ensuring that the running gear matches the performance needs of this lightweight sports car. The running gear, including suspension and drivetrain components, is also sourced from a modified ’54 Ford, providing an authentic blend of Ford reliability with LaDawri’s distinctive design.

Inside, the dashboard has been modified from the original Ford dash, blending 1950s Ford craftsmanship with LaDawri’s minimalist sports car style. This unpainted model is an ideal choice for a collector interested in early fiberglass sports cars and custom restorations, offering a unique starting point to bring this American classic back to life, with the chance to customize both its appearance and performance while staying true to its roots.
