We'll list till the right buyer comes along for this one owner car. I knew the owner of this car. When he no longer could drive late 1977, he gave it to my friend and was parked, sat in his garage from 1977 till this month (August, 20015). Cylinders were sprayed with lubricant sometime after he dropped it off. Was re-titled it in 1979. I have that clean NJ title in hand with the prefix A on it. In Jersey, every time a car is re-titled, whether put in service or stored, it goes up by one letter. He had it transported to my house in Hudson, FL. Since neither of us need the car, a "reasonable offer" will own it. Electrical system is original 6 volt and all in place, nice and clean - not cut or altered. Has a oil bath, Flathead V/8 with a 3 speed stick on the column. Car is a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe 8, 4 Door Sedan. It has never been in an accident. Bumpers are perfectly straight. Body lines and trim flow perfectly all around. Some body parts have expected rusty areas. Frame has rust but is not rusted thru in any area and everything on the undercarriage is complete front to rear, including the single tailpipe exhaust system. This car can be in road worthy condition with minimum dollars and expected labor. The keys were in it when parked but someone took them along with some body parts mentioned below. We hand turned the motor and it is free but we haven't started the car. Odometer has not gone around and is showing the original 23,522 miles on the car when parked. This was driven locally in Jersey till 1977, so it does have those years of use. Body is perfectly straight as seen. One passenger rear door has bottom rust - all others are fine. Has some rusted lower fender corners where it and or they meet the running boards. One area inside the trunk has some rust and some rust holes as seen in one of the pictures. Body has a couple scrapes and a minor ding here and there. Roof is dent, ding and rust free - nice as it can be. All the dashboard knobs, the radio and speaker, ashtrays on top of dash, vent handle and other handles, etc... are on/in the car. Clutch goes down and returns smoothly and trans feels and dry shifted fine. Has the complete jack, jack base and handle. Brakes will need to be bled out to get a pedal - pretty sure the wheel cylinders are ok. . Fuel lines, tank, etc... need to be flushed. Ignition and door keys, as mentioned, are missing. The driver side front vent window and rear vent windows have cracks - all the other glass is intact. Windshield is fine - no chips. Has the wiper blades and radio antenna. Paint is original - title has color as BL ( Blue) but looks light gray. Original interior with front/rear seat covers installed, we think, in the early 60's. We just put on the front hood emblems and hood ornament - seen in a picture or two. It needs 3 hood arm hinges reattached (the bolts holding them rusted - easy fix) and one hood hinge spring - I picked up a nos hinge spring but haven't installed it. Parts for this year Ford are very easy to find in original condition or reproduction. Front tires are the originals and rubber is dry rotted but are holding air. The rear had flat, worn out snow tires so I replaced them with two Brand new B.F Goodrich 16" tires. All rims are the original 6.00 x 16. This is what's missing - the 4 moon type hubcaps (this has all 4 beauty rings and a spare snow tire on rim). Missing the trunk ornament, a tail light bezel (has the glass lenses on both sides), headlights, headlight retainer rings, one outer headlight ring, front parking light lenses, a 6 V battery and as mentioned, the keys. Those are the only missing parts. Car is not perfect but a very solid, absolute 100% stock 1947 Ford to restore or can be Lead Sledded or an all out Street Rod. A 4 door 62 Chevy might seem to be an odd Hot Rod but not a 47 Ford with suicide doors and it's bubble shape. After full payment is received, I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time till you can pick her up - your in no rush. You'll need a tow dolly or flatbed to move her. Thanks (car is listed on Craigslist in the Tampa Bay section under car/trucks by owner)
