On top of that if stock, straight-6, or flathead? Though there isn't much of a difference...

well then I guess the only real question is, are you going to put a JATo rocket in the trunk?
speed depends on a lot of stuff, I don't see how we could assess that with the information given.

LOL ok lets try it again. Does anyone know the rated top speed in 1950 for the Ford club coupe in 1950 with the 8 cylinder Flathead engine

We had a '40 Ford Deluxe Convertible that had the same flathead engine in it, and I used to get it up to around 80 - 85.

Thanks i was guessing around 80 mph myself

3000 pounds and 100 hp. Depending on gears I don't know anything about that I'd think around 80 too. But i'm no expert.

Wait one last smart a$prine remark. Why don't you just look at how high your speedometer says.
Ok I'm done.
