1940 FORD FORDOR SEDAN...ORIGIONAL & COMPLETE HONEST OLD CAR WITH OVER 60 YEARS OF KNOWN HISTORY. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN THE EARLY 1950's OFF A CAR LOT IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AND OWNED FOR OVER 20 YEARS, THEN SOLD TO THE NEXT OWNER WHO KEPT IT FOR THE NEXT 42 YEARS. IN THE 1970's THE CAR WAS MADE INTO A JALOPY AND REMAINS THAT WAY TODAY. MOST EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR IS ORIGIONAL, AND MOST EVERYTHING STILL WORKS AS IT SHOULD, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FACTORY RADIO STILL IN THE DASH, AND THE CLOCK...THE HORN EVEN WORKS FROM THE BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS 75 YEARS OLD, AND HAS SURFACE RUST AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED, OTHER THAN THAT THIS IS ALMOST A RUST FREE CAR...THERE IS THE USUAL RUST IN THE BACK PAN OF THE TRUNK IN THE TOOL BOX AREA, EASY FIX- CATALOG ITEM, AND SORTED SURFACE RUST IN THE PATINA ON THE BODY. THE CAR HAS A VERY INTERESTING PAST- OTHER THAN JUST BENIG A JALOPY FOR OVER 40 YEARS, IT WAS DRIVEN TO CALIFORNIA IN 2000 TO THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORTY FORD CELEBRATION. IT DREW A LOT OF ATTENTION ON ITS ROAD TRIP OUT THERE, DURING THE EVENT, AND ON THE TRIP BACK TO TEXAS. IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED IN (2) MOVIES THAT WERE FILMED IN SOUTH TEXAS..."RAGGETY MAN" & "ALL THE PRETTY HORSES". I BOUGHT THE CAR TO JUST DO A LIGHT RESTORATION ON (paint and interior), BUT MY HEART TELLS ME "NO'' TO CHANGING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR - IT HAS BEEN A JALOPY FOR SO LONG - JUST LEAVE IT THAT WAY. THE RADIATOR HAS BEEN TO THE RADIATOR SHOP, NEW HOSES, BELTS, FLUIDS AS NEEDED, NEW 6v BATTERY, AND THE CARBURETOR HAS BEEN REBUILT. STARTS, RUNS AND DRIVES, AND STOPS LIKE IT SHOULD - THE CAR NEEDS TIRES AS THEY ARE VERY OLD, AND SOME FLAT GLASS (all there, but aged) BUT THAT WILL BE UP TO THE NEXT OWNER AS TO WHERE THEY WANT TO GO WITH THIS CAR-LEAVE IT A JALOPY, DO A LIGHT RESTORATION ON IT, OF RESTORE IT TO NEW AS IT IS A VERY COMPLETE CAR. MY HOPE IS THAT THE CAR WILL FIND A NEW OWNER TO APPRECIATE IT FOR WHAT IT IS, AND ENJOY THE CAR, THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION-THE CAR WILL BE SOLD.
