NC-car-guy Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Shes rough but buildable. 2dr hardtop with SC salvage title. VIN and data plate intact. New 6v battery included. Overall solidish... Needs floor pans and has a hole in the rear driver's side of the hood. Door pillars and door bottoms are solid. Trunk pan is solid except some rust through where it meets the rear walls near the back bumper. Damage to trunk and sill where someone pryed the trunk open. Front right wheel is frozen. Straight 8 turns over but not fire. Oil looks good, no water. 3spd on column missing shifter. All trim appears to be present and accounted for some needs massaging. Dagmars are rough as is the one rear j-bar. Upholstery is roached. Clearly needs full resto but I think the car is a solid starter. Doors open and close nicely windows all roll up and down but need glass. Windshield in good shape. $3500 Photos here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_0vJ_oMvPD5OGUwOGVhODgtYWE4OC00MTRkLTk3NTctMzU2N2ViOWMwNTA0 Edited August 31, 2021 by NC-car-guy (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 I've found a complete parts car with better bumper and the missing grill teeth.. I can include for an extra price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Heaps Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Is the parts car a 45R series hardtop, or the convertible? If so I would be interested in the drivers door. And possibly the grill bar with extensions, even a broken one , as long as it is complete, for a hotrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Tinkered a bit more and discovered 5 bent push rods with stuck valves. Guess that's why its doesn't start. $3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Found out that a 77-89 caddy frame is super similar... Might be good frame swap material. Going to post er up on the HAMB. If anyone here wants the whole car ill take a loss to Buick Club guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the guy wants a grand for the parts car and will not.part it out. I can't sink another grand into this. I paid $2500 for this one plus spent $400 getting it home. I just spent $100 on two used tired and cant do the other two because the rims are so messed up. One of these days I'll learn to quit messin' with buicks and buy a ford. One of these days. $2000 and I'll eat my loss just to get it off my property. Edited June 26, 2021 by NC-car-guy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemb Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 What was your intention with this car? It has only been listed for less than 3 weeks; don't be too discouraged. Maybe you can free up the valves and get a few pushrods and get it started? I don't think you'd find any more joy in Fords of this era... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
