I bought this car out of a barn last year as a PROJECT. It had been sitting for a number of years. I was going to make a '50's style NASCAR copy as I vintage race but I think this car is way to nice to cut up.
This is a project car and is priced accordingly. It will still require some work.
The previous owner had a body shop repaint the car the original Spring Mist Green. The left rocker was replaced. Some other rust areas were patched. Body is quite straight. Doors open and close fine and don't sag.
FLOORS are nice in car, including under the back seat, trunk floor and spare tire well. The driver’s side front is rusted as are most '55 and '56 Fords (I've never seen a 55-56 that didn't have rust where the gas pedal attaches) and will need replacing. A couple of other small spots can be done with small patches.
GRILL and BUMPERS are intact and still shine but not perfect.
ALL GLASS is good ( that saves you $1,000).
The engine is a Y-Block with a 2bbl carb and single exhaust. Is it a 272, 292, or a 312? I don’t know. It runs by pouring gas down the carb but the fuel pump is not pumping.
It will need brake work and repair to the front frame cross member as well as other things to make it drivable.
I own and operate B o w e r s B r o t h e r s M o t o r s which is hot rod and restoration shop and a licensed and bonded Iowa auto dealer. Clear, Current Iowa Title in my name. I know the junk and money pit cars from the worthy projects. THIS IS A WORTHY PROJECT.
What you see in the pictures is what you get.
I am a straight forward and honest person and would never purposely misrepresent a car. There is no point in doing that as they are what they are and will not improve while you are waiting for it to arrive. If you have questions please feel free to call me.
