1951 Ford Other

For sale is super clean 1951 Ford 2 door sedan. 24 yrs ago this car was painted that rich deep maroon color, Crestliner style vinyl roof added, interior reupholstered and the Flathead V8 completely rebuilt with those cool finned Offenhauser heads topping it off. This car was the pride and joy of the gentleman that owned it and in that 24 years he only racked up 400 miles on the flatty .... one parade at a time. The car spent the last 24 years under bedspreads and blankets in the old boys garage. Any chance he got to show it off he would unwrap it from the blankets and fire up that new V8. Well fast forward to this year and I was fortunate enoughto become the caretaker of this classic and give it the opportunity to get back on the road again. Since February the Ford has received a new fuel tank, new carb, new fuel pump, 8 spark plugs, 4 new wheel cylinders and brake shoes all the wayaround.Tires are in like new condition and the addition of the classic '57 Cadillac hubcaps give her that elegant touch. This car has one of the most solid floors I have seen in a 50's era car. Nota rust hole anywhere. Vinyl roof is as nice as the day it was installed and really adds to the classic looks. As for the flatty .... she starts with a flick of the key and the converted 12v generator keeps everything charged. The electric fan helps keep her running cool.Gas gauge, speedo, aftermarket temp and oil pressure gauges all work. Passenger front window does have a crack, but all glass is intact. Good solid car ready to be taken to the next level or just cared for and enjoyed as the cruiser she was meant to be.
car is sold as is. No warranty. Buyer responsible for pickup of the vehicle once full payment is received.
