Hello, Thanks for looking at my auction. This four door 150 sedan is an excellent candidate for a restoration. This was put in dry storage in Burlington, Kansas back in 79 due to a blown head gasket. The head was removed and discarded by the original owner. I have disassembled the car for the most part, bagged and tagged every part. The body is off the frame and has little rust except the floor pan and floor braces. This seems like it is a lower mileage car due to the soundness of tie rod ends, u-joints, door strikers, bearings, brakes, etc. I cannot be sure though and cannot guarantee the odometer hasn't been around a few times! The trunk pan is in decent with no holes but there is one spot that got some pitting due condensation drip from the deck lid seal. The deck lid is rusted out on the underside where the weather stripping contacted it. It seems to me that this may have been due to dust build up from the barn it was in and then temperature changes causing trapped moisture. There are some dents on the top that will need to be massaged out when you take out the headliner. All interior parts are present, ( garnish moldings have been bead blasted and are pretty much ready for paint). The bodywork has been started on the doors, hood, and fenders. Sorry that I have no pictures of the front clip, but the fenders and hood are in good shape. They have been sprayed with self etching primer and the doors have had some skim coats of filler applied in some necessary areas (not rust related) and then urethane primer over that and then blocked and some scratch filler applied. The body work will need finishing by the buyer. The drive train seems very sound aside from the motor, ( I have another good 235 that will be included). The windshield also has bullseye crack in it in front of rear view mirror. The stuff on the roof in the pictures are mud dauber nests. These pictures were taken when I bought the car and then disassembled. This can be a great car for the right person with talent and patience,(and money for a new floor pan!). I have nice Bellaire hubcaps to with this and a nice grill bar as well. This is very complete, I think the only thing it is missing is the bowtie emblem that goes in the grill bar. Though this has the original parts many will need replaced due to neglect. The title for this was lost and it will come with a Kansas Bill of Sale, a new Kansas title is easily obtained by the buyer due to age of car. Please feel free to ask questions, I encourage you to ask questions! This is a no reserve auction and will sell to the high bidder. If you have a feedback rating of less than ten please contact me prior to bidding. This is pickup only. I can put the body back on the frame, air up tires and hang the doors to make this easier to transport at buyers request. Thanks for looking.
