361cid E-400 V8, Teletouch automatic transmission, 2.91:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
708566 manufactured in Louisville, KY
Owner:
unknown
This car would require a total restoration. All the glass is good. I have
all of the lenses (taillamp, backup lamps, and parklamps) except the right outer taillamp
red lens. The reflex lenses are all good. These were removed to prevent
theft or damage.
This car has the original paint. The body is in decent shape but it has the usual
rust problems in the rear quarters over and behind the rear wheels. The front fenders
appear solid, but the left front had been damaged in the past and repaired. The rocker
panels probably have some rust. The right front door is dented. Most of the
chrome is good with the exception of the bumpers, which are dented. The brakes are
non-functioning. The hood ornament, wheel covers, radio and antenna are missing.

Notes:
From an online auction:
I purchased the car about 5 years ago with the intention of doing a full restoration,
but I have decided that I need to thin out the herd! I last ran it 5 years ago
and the motor (E400, 361 V8 4 barrel carburetor) sounded really good. The previous
owner said that it had been overhauled just prior to his aquisition of the car and he
drove it 50 miles to his house and it preformed very well.
