Hello all, The car I have here is a 1951 Ford Victoria hardtop coupe. I've had this car for a little over a year now and finally figured to sell it. The car is super complete as far as chrome, gl***, etc. go. The only major thing missing is the original Flathead engine. I've got parts littered everywhere for this car, in the garage, shed, old RV, crawlspace. Suffice to say that those I live with are a little tired of the space taken up by this thing. The body has been lifted off of the frame and onto a DIY rotisserie made of 2x6s. It's tad on the janky side but it functions great. With this rotisserie, I was able to sandblast the floors and roof, as well as the outside of the car. The interior is partially blasted but fairly clean sheet metal all around. There are rust issues, however. Both Quarters, right by the wheel wells, are pretty rotted, as well as the corresponding sides of the wheel wells themselves. The driver-side toeboard is rotted on the seam. Oh, not to mention the trunk, which is, sorry to say, nonexistent. I think for an experienced restorer, this is a totally accomplishable task. However, for me, who hadn't even learned to change their own oil by the time I started this, it was super scary. That mixed with my gradual unhappiness for the project, led to me abandoning it. It's got all the gl*** except for the p***enger side curved window and the driver side windshield half. The chrome is a mix, it's Korean War chrome so some of it is utterly dismal, on the other side however, the chrome that isn't apart of either the grill or taillights is in great shape. If we can negotiate a price, I also have a 1979 Mercury Marquis 302 engine that I could include. I was planning on dropping it in as a replacement for the original Flathead. It's been in my family since it came off of the sale room floor, but no one in my family, including myself, can do this car justice. It would really be great for this to find a new home where it can return to it's former glory. PM me for any more details. I have detailed pictures of the entire project from the beginning till now. $3000 OBO I have replacement metal for this Some of those stashed parts: Pre rotisserie Original interior Before pulling it out
