If you guys remember the 53 Customline I had, there was a guy that just had to have it.....so... he has it! I picked up a 56 Ranch Wagon two door out of Montana that is nearly perfect with every bit of trim inside and out. It has no drivetrain yet. I am saving it for my retirement build coming up in May. I just finished up the 39 that I was working on for the past two years. I put 6,300 miles on it last summer and fall. I also built a 66 Mustang for the wife and a 66 Chevelle for a friend. I've been busy!
Welcome back, although I'm fairly new to this forum so I never knew you were gone, lol. Nice rides you have/had. Sounds like a great score on the RanchWagon..got pics?
Geno,glad to have you back! I hope the new project gets a Ford motor this time The '53 sure looks good,the new owner is a lucky guy!
Hey Jeff... it will have a Ford in it....probably a late model crate engine/trans factory combo that's ready to run. I'll have to get some picture for the site for you guys to drool over. There is no body work to do, just remove trim, scuff, seal, paint. I've got some ideas for some personal touches that I saw at a show....It will be a one-of-a-kind when done. I'll start a build album with it. The 53 owner was thrilled.....That was a nice car that one could drive anywhere and it's been all over the place. Here's a pic of the wife's Mustang.... nothing wild.... 6 cylinder, three speed, 24 mpg average on a 1,200 mile trip! A great little driver for her. The grand kids love it.
