1956 Ford 2Dr. Sedan V8 3Sp. Complete car with a lot of extra parts, This car was a non runner when I got it, I installed a new gas tank and lines, rebuilt the 4bbl. carb. 292 or 312 it has the right markings for either engine, but I have not taken the pan off to check any Numbers. The vin check on this car shows it was an original 6 cylinder car. New plugs and wires, It was converted over to a Chrysler style electronic ignition years ago. All new brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes and hardware, all brake hoses and new steel lines, machined all drums, repacked front bearings, it runs and stops now, all lights work, seats are in decent shape, headliner is coming apart, cheep carpet on floor. The car has had patch panels installed many years ago and it shows, the floors were covered in sheet metal, not the best job, but I guess it worked for that person, The Front of the car had a custom grill and some work done to the front sheet metal in the 70's but was smacked in the right front bumper area and cracked a lot of bondo. I have 2 front bumpers, 2 front fenders that will need some work The car will need exhaust, I have 2 original style down pipes. I have a set of aftermarket gauges that go with the car also, and a set of bubble skirts. The tires are old and will need to be replaced, and I have a front crossmember for it, the original has some rust. The car comes with 4 blue wheels, not the red wheels in the picture. It smokes but the more I run it, the less it smokes, it may stop smoking after some time, the engine sounds very good, no knocking, or ticking. I was going to pull it out, hone the cylinder walls, replace the rings, and work the valves, replace all gaskets and seals and stick it back in. I have only driven the car for short distances in my neighborhood, just to check the clutch and brakes. I know it will have bugs to work out if you want a daily driver.The drivers door will not open from the inside, feels like the linkage at the inside handle has broken free, normally just take it out and a small weld will fix this problem. 1 on the rear windows is missing the handle and I don't think it will roll down. It is not a show car, but can be a driver with some tires and exhaust, paint it flat black and call it a Rat rod if you want.I ask if you live nearby please come and look at the car before bidding, just send me a message and we will set up a time for you to come by, If you have no intension of buying the car please don't bid, If you need to ask somebody for permission, please get it before bidding, It cost money to sell things and I don't have the time for nonpayment or no-shows.I will never get my money out of this car, I have ran out of time for this car, It can be a decent car if you have a little time.I have a clean title for this car, and a set of 1956 Va. plates that will go with this car.Very low reserve price, bid now and bid often. If you want pictures of a specific area let me know, and if I can see it, I will try to get a picture of it.I have this car listed locally and reserve the right to remove it at any time. I do have a clean Title for this car. Both times I have listed this car it went to $2175.00 I did lower the reserve and the Buy it now price, and included the Make offer, so let me know if you are interested in the car, send me an offer.Please send me a message with the offers, hit the contact seller option, and send me a message.
