DISCRIPTION IN A NUT SHELL::::::::::::: For your consideration I'm selling a good looking
1954 Ford, 4 door, Customline. Past owner gave me a folder with lots of receipts, they show that most of
the work on the car was done in 2011. This does include a receipt for a paint job costing $5,268, it was
done 7-12-11 and done in Crossville, Tennessee. Decent paint, past owner did not like the dull original
green so he had a brighter green applied. The bumpers and grill look nice, probally done in 2011, but I
have no receipt. The side stainless must be new, it is nice, I see a receipt for new door handles and the
emblems are nice. The grill extenstions are painted, the trunk bezel dull. The look to have been replaced,
the windshield looks like new, the sided windows have limination bubbles around the edges. The engine
runs good, it looks like the original 239 Y block to me, they are solid lifters. The 3 speed manual
transmission is good and the 3 on the tree shifts nice. The steering gear has lots of wear, read more
under steering below. The drum brakes are OK, but they are drums. The 5 wide white wall tires are bias
belted and good with no cracking, they bump hard until warmed up. The fender shirts are in the trunk
and will not fit with the full moon hubcaps on the car, they rub. This is not a perfect 100 point show car,
its just a good looking driver.

show cars 6 days a week if I'm home.
SORRY I DO NOT DO VIDEOS: I'm 67 years old and have sold every car I have every tried
to, so I'm not motivated to do videos. Please just come look and be happy.
THANK YOU, BUT NO TRADES!!!!! I have wasted lots of time talking to guys about trades
and they are just too hard. Usually the guy wants to trade me a motor cycle or his car that
he has way too munch money in. I have no interest at all about trading, my car sell without
the hassle.
WHAT IS THE LOWEST YOU WILL TAKE FOR THE CAR? I will take $9,800 for the car,
please don't waste our time with lower offers.
WILL YOU SELL THE CAR DIRECT OFF EBAY MOTORS? Yes, I'm not crazy, I want to sell
the car! I know lots of you guys are not registered with PayPal and just use ebay as a
research tool. I will sell you direct, I reserve the right to do that. I do not play the auction
game and have my buddies bid the vehicles up. I just put a fair price on them and have sold
100%.
IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS? The car has no rust bubble in the paint and the underside
look good, but not perfect. The frame is solid and straight. The floors look good, some of
the thin sheet metal side braces are rusty. The little angle supports are made of thin sheet
metal and had rust issues on even very nice cars. Some of the have rusty edges and a couple
of thin sheet metal rusty edges. The rear wheel drop downs have been worked on. The front
support in front of the engine has a plate welded on the bottom, water would get in these
and not drain out good and the bottom would rust, no problem its just been made better. It
just a ugly old car on the underside, but no real big problems.
IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE? None that I can find.
PAINT: Nice slick paint on a straight body, it see no rust bubbles, no dents, no dings,
the paint has a good shine. The paint has a little orange peel and several specs and some
roughness in the drip edge area. The paint is nice, its just not a perfect $20,000 paint
job.
CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK: The chrome is very presentable, the bumpers and
grill look near perfect, the door handles and emblems good. The side grill extensions are
painted, the trunk bezel is dull and pitted, the hood bird has very tiny pits.
INTEROR: The upholstery is very nice, no smells and no real wear, the drivers seat
area has some wrinkles, if it bothers you I think it can be pulled tighter by your upholstery
person. The head liner is nice, the carpet good. Painted trim OK with minor scuffs.
GLASS: Windshield is nice and clear with no chips or cracks. The side flat window have
been replaced and have lots of bubbles on the edges, the back window good used and
presenable.
ENGINE: The engine is a good running Ford 239 cubic inch Y block, it starts good,
it runs good, it has no rattles, it has no knocks, it is solid lifter so you do hear the normal
click. Normal drips, but the rope rear main old seal is good.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Used, but OK. It is single exhaust to the rear and then split
TRANSMISSION: 3 speed manual that is good, 3 on the tree shifter shifts good, clutch
is smooth with no slip.
REAR-END: No whines or growls and it looks original.
BRAKES: OK brakes, they are not power and stop old drum brakes do.
STEERING: The car drives good other than play in the steering wheel. The steering gear
needs rebuilt, the adjustment is all in. A new kit with all new parts is available from The
Early Ford Store, 909-305-1955. It includes Timken bearing and races, bushing, seals,
worm gear and sector roller gear, it cost $235 and the part number is FAD-3503-RBLDKIT.
I would rebuild it if I had time, but too many projects started.
WHEELS AND TIRES: 5 nice wide white side walls, they are bias belted, so that
means bounce till they warm up. The wheels are originals, the hubcaps nice after market.
The fender shirts hit the hubcaps, so they are in the trunk.
LIGHTS: They work, turn signals work, headlights work, tail lights work, brake lights
work, dome light not working.
SPEEDOMETER WORKS! GAS GAUGE works sometimes, it probably needs a new
sending unit, the gas tank is new. Radio delete car, choke knob needs replaced. Heater
blower works and it looks like all parts are in place, past owner said the water valve on
top of the engine was plugged because it was bad.
HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE?
Good!
HOOD AND PANEL FIT: The worst thing I see is the hood up a little on the back edge.
CAN I DRIVE THE CAR HOME? The car drives good and everything I have checked is in
good condition, but I do not recommend driving any old car home. Reason, I test drive
them like a garage doing repair work would, I do not take long trips in them, so it worries
me when people head out in a old car.
