1959 Ford Custom 300
This beauty was my daily driver for a year but the transmission went out. Before I could fix it, I found myself getting divorced, which took two years and all my money, so I couldn't fix the transmission. I have cranked it off and on, but it has developed more problems. Now the engine is not getting any power at all, even with a jump, so something is up with the wiring. I put a new Holley carb on it right before the transmission went out, and the engine was very strong. The engine came from a 1975 F100 and is either a .360 or .390, I've been told both. I have no idea what the actual miles are. It has a lot of problems that you would associate with a car this age. The floor pans were replaced by the previous owner. The trunk floor is good, not rusted out. The door latches don't always catch. The windshield wiper motor doesn't work. The radio doesn't work. The windshield has a few rock marks. One of the exhaust manifolds is cracked. The brakes will lock up the first time you hit them, but then work fine. That was when I was driving it anyway, they may be worse now. The transmission needs rebuilt. The radiator has pinhole leaks. The engine ran great and started with no hesitation till this no power issue. I'm assuming it is still fine but I can't get it to crank so no promises. The dent in the roof happened when my neighbor's tree blew down, but miraculously all the glass survived.I really enjoyed this car, but my finances dictate that I must sell. It will make a good project and deserves to be out on the road. There is no title due to the age, and it is sold with a Georgia bill of sale, which is how antique cars are sold in Georgia. If your state will not accept a bill of sale, please do not bid.
Payment is due in full within seven days of auction end, and you are responsible for picking it up in Lawrenceville, GA within 30 days of auction end. This car is sold as is. I have described everything I know that is wrong with it, and there could be problems I don't know about. It is a non-running non-drivable project car with many issues, not a functional vehicle.
