58 Edsel...what to watch out for?


Recommended Posts

Greetings all.  I am considering the purchase of a '58 Edsel Citation project car.  I am curious if there are certain things that I should be wary of.  It has a V8 (exactly which one, not sure at this point), and automatic transmission.

 

I will get a look at the car tomorrow, so I am wondering if there are certain trouble spots to look out for.  Frame rust?  Hard to find parts?  Etc.    the car has sat for about 10 years, and is reported to have run back then. 

 

Any info would be helpful.  Thanks,

 

Rich

I was just assuming that, as Edsel experts, you might be able to offer some generalized information regarding the weak points of the model to be aware of.    I have no photos until I get to the site and hook my peepers on the car in person.   I'm mostly worried about the frame rust that the Ford cars seem to have in general from that 60s era.
