Vehicle Detail
For your consideration is this 1966 Ford Custom 500 2 door sedan. This car is nicely equipped with a 289, automatic, power steering and standard brakes. The car is showing 38,559 miles, these are believed to be the original miles. I purchased the car about 6 years ago, it came from western Indiana and does have some rust in it. There is visible rust in the doors, front fenders, and bubbles in the lower quarters. The floor pans and trunk floor is good, the rear wheel wells have been patched and there is rust in the frame. The interior is in great shape, there are some stains on the seats that should clean up very nice. There are no tears or rips in the seats and the upholstery is still very soft and pliable. The door panels are also in excellent shape. All glass is good, the windshield is new. The car does run but has a stuck lifter that makes a terrible racket at idle. The car runs on a gallon jug, the tank is trash like most cars that have been sitting and it does not have brakes. I have only run a couple of gallons of gas through it, the engine sounds great except for the lifter, the exhaust was even new when it was parked! The story I was told when I bought the car is that the heads were removed and rebuilt for unleaded gas, then the car was parked. I have a clear Indiana title for the car. This is a total project, the frame can be patched but you still have a repaired frame. It would make an excellent 427 clone, great driver or valuable parts car. I have taken several pictures, but just ask if you would like to see more. I have had the car for 6 years, do not need it, and do not have time to work on it so it is time to let it go. Please ask any questions before bidding, if you are close feel free to come look at the car. A $250.00 deposit is due within 24 hours via Pay Pal. The balance is payable in cash, cashier’s check or money order within 10 days of sale date. I would prefer the car picked up in two weeks but will work with the new buyer if more time is needed. If you are not serious please don’t bid! I am selling this car to the US and Canada only! The car sells as is where is but I will answer any questions and welcome anyone who wants to come and inspect the car prior to the end of the auction. Thanks for taking the time to look at my listing. Good luck bidding!
