| This car was purchased from local estate. Apparently the guy
started to put it together in 1959 or 1960, and was never finished
and has sat in a garage for over 40 years. There was an old 1960 Illinois license plate in the trunk,
but I don't know if it was used on this car. There is no windshield. There are no seats. The motor and frame we have been told
is either a 1954 or a 1955 Ford (291??) V8 with overdrive. The motor
does run and drive. My husband says the gas tank is really dirty
from sitting. It has no brakes. My husband put a brake line on it so
he could drive it around and the brakes did work but the line came
off. The tires are flat on the bottom from sitting for so long.
There is primer painted on the hood, but otherwise this car is in
raw fiberglass and has never been painted. The car can be viewed in
person if you like, we are 35 miles south of Chicago. If you have
any questions about this car feel free to e-mail me and I will
direct the questions to my husband. Better yet you are welcomed to call
(708)672-3369 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. central time and
ask for to speak to my husband, Fran. |
