Description:

1962 Ford Other

The auction is for one historic, original vintage survivor 1962 ford TAUNUS 12 M (not Taurus...) station wagon with two (2) doors. The car was found in a California, storage lot with the correct original black tag plates, then brought to Arizona to restore, but things in life have changed....

This is car was German produced ford, and those knowing the Taunus models know it was not imported to the US. The story can be shared to the buyer....

As seen in the photos, this car is in need of restoration or drive as is, with a little work. The fuel pump and carb were removed, keeping them clean, and gas tank is open ready for new fuel... of course as with all older cars, brakes need updating, some hoses, tires, battery etc to making it street safe, so for the purpose of this auction it is being sold AS IS and not street safe without a complete review, and repair of needed components.

Currently the car will not drive, without, fuel items, battery, tires etc it did run, before all the parts were removed.
