1954 Ford Customline

1954 Ford Customline 4 dr. sedan. This is pure, unaltered 'garage find' The garage was so old, the loft collapsed onto the car. The obvious damage is the ventilated windshield, a cracked drivers door glass, and cracked drivers vent window. The car had been therefrom the '70's, until about a year ago when the garage decided to redecorate the car. Restore it, or this could still be a great Rat rod starter kit. I wanted to straighten the body, replace the windshield,paint the roof white, and red prime the rest of the car, and drive it. ....Then I counted my other projects....The car will start with a jump. If you put a new 6 volt battery in it, it charges.Itstops well, and can drive on and off a trailer, and with a little common sense TLC, it could be a drivable project. It has an interior thatis like a time capsule to the '50s.Door panels and rear seat are nice.The seats are either recoverable, or throw a blanket over the front seat and drive it. I've never seen a radio like this car has.The engine compartment has not been messed with. All that we did was make the car start,run,stop, and roll. The car's stance is due to 3 different size tires. Now for what it needs....There are dents in almost every panel,(from the garage loft collapse)The rear quarters should be replaced. There's some ancient body repairs there. The pass rocker needs replacement.Ther is some rust in the floor along the inside of the floor trim.The pass front inner wheel well is in the trunk for some reason. A couple of dog dish hubcaps,a spare, and a small box of extra door handles are all in the trunk. It's a 2 owner car,...paint the doors white and put an old red gumball machine on top, and make an old Police car. Low opening bid price, This car can and should be brought back. The damage is figured into the low price. This car as a driver, will not put you in the poorhouse..........$500 deposit due within 48 hours, Located in Manning SC.
