Notes:
This is a project car in need of restoration. I was going to fix her up as a daily
driver until I wrenched my back again and realized that my wrenching days are over. I
replaced the 352 cid engine with a 1967 Ford 390 cid which had been rebuilt. The reason
the car was parked was because of over heating (leak in the heater core). It is set up
with a single wire alternator. I was told the transmission had been rebuilt and it looks
fairly clean so it could have been.
When I was moving the car, the left front wheel came off and damaged the inner and outer fender. I have an outer fender that will go with the car. While in storage the rear window was also destroyed by someone throwing rocks. The rear end needs to be replaced. I have a complete 1960 Edsel rear end (brake drum to break drum) with the same 2.91 gears to replace what came with the car. The rear end was locked up when I bought it. I was able to get it working by removing the pinion gear and reinstalling it. It It needs a complete interior.
