Anybody have any pictures of a Vicky coupe

hey i found this vicky coupe on craigslist... its 4500 but i was just wounding what these things look like done up. and is this worth 4500?

Grab it! If the wood is good and the body looks as complete and nice as the pics it's worth twice the price.

really worth that much huh? its not exactly what i want but ill hack it up and make it what i want...

 

BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has a steel back, that is the better of the two! Can't beleve it is $4,500 and on the East Coast. Even if the wood is shot BUY IT!

 

dont think im gunna be able to s****e up the cash... but i emailed the guy we will see if i get a responce

 

From the pics that looks like a decent car. That body is quite rare, I certainly hope you wouldn't "hack it up". Buy it, sell it at a decent profit, then find the car that you really want. Just my 2 cents.

 

well i like the car but i dont know if i could turn it around fast enough i might rather take a blade to it!

 

Yep, someone would love to build that vickie. One of my all time favorite early Ford bodies.

 

comon it looks better already!

 

btt

 

a vicky isnt an easy thing to come by

 

i hope this guy emails me back... i have to go to his town to get a new hood for my f100 that i won on ebay for $10

 

I saw the same car sell on ebay a few weeks back for $6500. I don't know the story behind it but I do remember it was listed as being in NY. Maybe Its your lucky day and the high bidder didn't pay up. Just make sure you see it in person.

 

Ford never made a "Victoria Coupe"------Don

 

Dont cut the ****ing thin up. Hope you dont get it.

 

buy something you want don't mess up good iron for other guys.

I was never clear on what exactly Ford was thinking with the Victoria. It's NOT a coupe, not really a sedan. What market sector were they aiming for? Anybody know. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. It is a rare body style. Seems that alone would make it worth the asking price.....Don.</TD></TR><TR UNSELECTABLE="on" hb_tag="1"><TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNSELECTABLE="on">

Looks pretty complete. Vicky's are very desireable and $4500 is a good price.
Go check it out!

 

That's too bad, hope someone else who appreciates that body style beats you to it.

 

Live under a bridge do you?

 

Good response C9, but I'm guessing the guy won't get it. Anyone who casually talks about hacking up what appears to be a perfectly good Vicky can't be wrapped too tight. Let's hope someone with 2 functioning brain cells gets it first.

well i just finally got see the tread again been gone for a few days... i was thinking about this car a lot the past few days and was thinking it would be a geed candidate to swap the body onto a better chasy leave the body alone otherwise... and just make it a decent looking hot rod and keep all the vicky stuff separate so its still of for if i want to sell it later...

 

Just to set the record straight - The Ford Victoria was indeed designated a coupe as witnessed by their advertising. Here's one of the Ford introduction brochures.
