Zepher Find

Spotted this 39-40? Lincoln Zepher 4dr behind a closed up tow co.garage,the operated stopped by while I was looking at it,said it was for sale.He was firm at 1 grand,I thought it was a little to rough to warrant fixing,maybe a good parts car.Was complete except for the RR fender,the V12 supposedly ran not long go.Hmmm...wonder what a good Zepher trans is worth these days?

 

the dash the brakes and the fenders and hood are worth more than the asking price
if it were me and i was closer i would have already brought it home and parted that thing out
tk

 

I'd take the dash in a heartbeat if you part it out!

 

zephyr

 

It's a 39,and as said above the whole front end can be used to save a 3 window coupe,if needed...for only 1k there are much more there to grab..have you checked the rear end??Columbia ,perhaps??
Can't see the vertical console below the round dash,is it there???
Looks kinda solid from here...only in parts alone it worth it WAY more..grab it ,dude!!
Ah..almost forgot the engine....more bucks added

 

It's just old rusty junk. Might bring $400 bucks for scrap though at a crusher.

 

I sold a complete V12 across seas for $3500.00 a few years ago. Dash and center counsel for $900.00. Yeah I'd say it's worth the asking price.

 

I'd say grab it. Good find. Tear apart and keep the good stuff for that project some day. or sell 'em to somebody who needs them. wink wink ha. Good find all around though. Geez the gears in that tranny if they're good are worth a grand, pending if they're the 26 toothers

 

if those grilles are not broken thats about 1000-1500 right there

trans 500 -700

v-12's are about 800-1500 anymore

 

if you dont grab it tell someone where it is so they can. I wont sleep knowing its out there all cold by itself. Please someone help now!! Just $.08 can help this lost car and put clothes on its seat and blood on its rusty bolts. Please help this lost and forgotten car

 

A guy posted a thread a few days ago looking for a 39 parts car. Maybe you could turn him onto it if you're not interested in puchasing the car. As everyone has stated there is way more then a $1000.00 in parts there. Goodluck!

 

I'm the guy you talked to about the Zephyr. After reading this I've changed my mind. I'm going to part it out myself. You snoozed a little too long.

 

HaHaHa, Money talks, BS walks!

 

The trans is an easy 1500.00

 

I know I'd be interested in the split rear window surround if I wasn't so far into my build.But I'm sure someone could use it.

 

let me know on the V-12

 

I looked closer at the pictures and find it is not a Zephyr after all, but in fact, just an old VW custom.

 

its not already on your trailer ??

 

I'm interested in trans case or whole thing...it isn't worth that much as it doesn't have Zephyr gears! the '38 and 9 used 81A Ford gears, 28 teeth, same gearset as normal '39-48 Ford passenger. I want case and shifter mainly...

 

I would have been posting a thread called "look what I just bought".... if I had come across that car!

GO BUY IT! a grand is a great price.


.

 

Buy it! keep the v-12 and part out the rest. Oh,Did I say Buy it?

 

Buy that sum bitch!

 

Too late! Read the posts - the current owner already decided to part it out rather than sell it to him. And a valuable lesson was learned by Merconic.
(Personally I'd have bought it to build, but I just really like those cars!)

Good luck, Ratatat. I'd like to see it stay together but it's your car so do what you want with it.

I recommend eBay - you never know what odd part two guys in two different states want until they start bidding against each other! (And don't throw away or scrap ANYTHING - someone out there will by every single tiny little part, even if it's ruined and they're repoping them.)

 

YOU ARE just bullshitting us RIGHT?

You KNOW thats worth good money right?

If not get out of this hobby....

You will be taking advantage of the rest of your life...

 

Are you nut's! Grab it!

 

sounds kind of convenient to me

drum up all this interest in a way to cheap lincoln zephyr then the owner shows up to say he's changed his mind and parting it out.....

 

You guys are silly...that was not the owner. Only the whole damn U.S. is between those two.

 

absofuckinlutley!

 

Beat me to it.

 

This shit is so funny! I saw a pair of zephyr taillights sell for $3k on ebay are they worth that fuck no. A set of Grills $1500, motors $3500 you guys are smoking crack. Not trying to be a dick (which I am by the way) just the fact that those prices are unrealistic. The swap meet a Lars was good but big money stuff was not changing hands people for the most part people are holding onto money. This is just my opinion which really does not matter, just thought I would throw it out there anyways.
