1951 FORD CLUB COUPE. STORED SINCE 1967. BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED.CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A SIX CYLINDER AND AN OVERDRIVE AUTOMATIC. I REPLACED THE DRIVE TRAIN WITH A GOOD RUNNING FORD 302 ENGINE AND A C-4 TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE ENGINE AND TRANS MOUNTS FROM OPIES HOT ROD PARTS .ALSO PURCHASED WERE A NEW SET OF FRONT COIL SPRINGS. I REPLACED THE REAR END WITH A FORD EIGHT INCH .THE TRUNK IS FULL OF EXTRA STUFF THAT GOES WITH MY CAR .MY INTENTION WAS TO BUILD THIS CAR AS A MILD CUSTOM. IT WAS A LOCAL CAR IN SAN BERNARDINO CALIFORNIA BACK IN THE 50'S AND HAS HAD THE HOOD AND DECK LID SHAVED USING ONLY LEAD LIKE THEY USED TO WAY BACK WHEN.THE TRUNK OPENS REMOTELY FROM THE INSIDE WITH A SMALL CABLE. I LOOKED FOR A CAR IN THIS CONDITION FOR OVER 6 YEARS. OF THE THREE YEARS OF THE FORD SHOE BOXES THE 51 IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND ASIDE FROM THE CONVERTIBLE THE CLUB COUPE IS THE ONE TO HAVE . THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 2 DOOR SEDAN AND A CLUB COUPE IS THAT ON THE CLUB COUPE THERE IS NO REAR QUARTER WINDOW. ALSO THE ROOF IS ALOT SMALLER THAN A SEDAN WITH A WIDER SPACE BETWEEN THE TRUNK AND THE REAR GLASS. THIS BODY STYLE BY FAR MAKES THE BEST FORD CUSTOM. THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUST IN THE FLOOR RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT AND ONE SPOT ON THE DRIVER SIDE INNER FENDER PANEL BUT VERY SIMPLE TO FIX.SOME OF THE GLASS IS CRACKED. OTHER THAN THAT I HAVENT FOUND ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. I HAVE MY CAR LOCALLY LISTED FOR 2500.00 . I ALSO HAVE AN ORIGINAL ,MATCHING PAIR OF FACTORY,STEEL 49-51 MERCURY FENDER SKIRTS THAT WILL GO WITH THE CAR IF ITS BID TO 3000.00. I RECENTLY BOUGHT 5 CARS FROM A GUY IN PALM SPRINGS AND IVE GOT TO SELL A FEW TO MAKE ROOM IN THE GARAGE.( PLEASE SEE OTHER AUCTIONS). I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH EBAY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND ALWAYS DESRIBE MY AUCTIONS AS BEST AS I CAN. THIS CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. I CAN DELIVER MY CAR TO YOU IF WITHIN 100 MILES. I HAVE GREAT CONTACTS WITH SHIPPING COMPANIES AND CAN SHIP THIS CAR TO YOUR FRONT DOOR. ***U.S. BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE***IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL ME AT HOME AT 1-909-645-5033. THANX,DAVEOn Mar-03-12 at 16:06:02 PST, seller added the following information: THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE CALLS AND EMAILS ASKING ABOUT MY 51 COUPE. I ADDED SOME MORE PICTURES TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF HOW NICE THE BODY IS. NOT A SPECK OF RUST IN THE TRUNK OR FLOOR. JUST THE ONE AREA IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. THE DASH IS COMPLETE AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. WHEN I ADDED THE 302 AND THE C 4 TRANSMISSION I DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO THE FIRE WALL ,ITS IN PERFECT SHAPE. THE ROCKERS UNDER THE DOORS ARE ALSO IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH ONLY A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF BUBBLING IN ONE SMALL SPOT. THE PICTURE OF UNDER THE CAR ALSO SHOWS ANOTHER GREAT, CALIFORNIA CAR.I REMOVED THE STOCK GAS TANK TO UPGRADE TO A MUSTANG TANK . I FOUND ALL OF THE SIDE STAINLESS EXCEPT FOR THREE PIECES. IM NOT IN ANY HURRY TO SHIP THE CAR OFF AS I HAVE 2 ACRES HERE AND STORING IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. AGAIN,IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CALL ME AT ' 1-909-645-5033 THANX,DAVE
