1953 Ford Customline 2 Door Hot Rod No Reserve

Description

This old Hot Rod has a running Dodge 318 V8 engine with a Dodge automatic transmission going to a late model Ford 8" differential.

It will need floorboard, bothrockers, the lower 2" on both doors skins, and rear quarters. The frame had two rust holes, which were patched (welded). Nothing not repairable withreplacement panels or sheet stock. Currently running off of a gas bottle, but fuel tank looks good.

Pin striping is hand painted and really old school and at least three decades old. I just buffed up the paint to see how it would shine and was surprised how well it came out and with wax, it would really shine out. Has been converted to 12 volt and lights work, keys, etc. Has hot rod tube grill and blue dot taillights with duals..

Interior has decent seats and covers, door panels will have to have new fibre board, but the covers are ok., headliner is gone, but bows are still in place.

I have purchased new fuel pump, carb, battery cables, fuel lines, filters, all brake shoes, and wheel cylinders, but since they where not installed the car has no brakes and therefore must be trailered, also two rims were powder coated.

I originally purchased the car for the front bumper, (newer) carpeting, and fender skirts, but am sending my 54 bumper with this car (it is not bent, just not as good), also the headlight doors will be switched to the ones in the parts pile..

Title is in my hand and delivery is possible at $1.50 per loaded mile reasonable distance as I am 70 years old. Any potential bidders with less than 5 positive feedbacks must call me prior to bidding, or the bid will be removed.
