Description: Nice Restorable 48 Ford CoupeWill come with all paper. HistorySame ole story, bought from an estate of an ole Hot Rodder who had a bunch of old stuff we bought for projects. Some plans have changed and we just cant keep everything so we are selling some of our projects. Will need some restoration according to your goals.This is your chance to buy it before we Part it...no we arent kidding. Engine & Drive train Engine compartment looks complete but its stuck from sitting, Im sure it wouldn't take much to get it loose, when the motor turns over we have gotten 90% of everything we have had running within a day. Manual transmission goes through the gears. Tires hold air, rolls fine, brakes probably need tinkering from sitting. InteriorInterior is pretty complete minus 'consumables' which have been removed, so you dont have to deal with mice or that mess. Dash is pretty nice, mostly complete, gauges look good, original steering wheel and center cap & ring are there, visors and headliner bows are there, window garnish trim is there, glass is in the doors if I recall correctly, we have the rear glass as well. Split bench seat is ripped of course, but folds as it should, rear seat back springs there, missing bottom...The car was in the process of restoration so most everything is there. Body Doors are solid and close and open as they should, floors are solid, hood is nice and rust free, no rust on fenders, I mean the whole car is pretty much rust free except for a couple easy to patch spots in the trunk, but you can look at pics to see general condition, pretty much looks like you could knock off or convert the surface rust, prime, and paint. Lots of Tastefully Subtle Custom Work went into the body, custom rear roll pan, rear fenders were nicely dollied out to remove ridge so that they are smooth, he was going to do the same to the front fenders but he didnt get that far. We also have some chrome not pictured, and we have more pics for serious interest. This car was garage stored and under restoration so it should be a pretty easy restore. If it doesnt sell we sadly will end up parting it out, but we figured we would list it whole first if someone wants to save it. Rare to find this nice! Buy it before the vultures convince us to part it out, because we have been known to part out even running and driving classics if the need is there! We have several RARE vehicles...all in varying condition...all have paper. We are getting too many so something will need to go...we just cant keep everything, not advertising this a bunch so if you are seeing this and know what these are, nows your chance to beat the crowds. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS, You can contact me to discuss what you are interested in, price is not the same for all obviously, but I don't have time for a bunch of listings and jokers. No, shipping isn't a buck...you can guess in the 1000 range.We do ship some things we sell if we have more than one reason to head that direction. 1%ers DisclaimerAnd no one percenters, no, I don't mean the rich 1% you hear about on the news, the other end of the spectrum 1%... What I mean is, 99% of eBayers are intelligent, reasonable, level headed, swap meet, flea market, estate sale, thrift shop, 2nd hand, trade show, antique mall, restoration, bargain hunting loving shoppers who appreciate the value as much as the hunt and the experience; while at the same time being able to artfully balance that with the realization that the item they are buying is used, old and may have idiosyncrasies to match, and they not only appreciate that, but embrace it as part of the items individual character and charm! The one percent, on the other hand, are the biggest cheapskates that can be, and yet they somehow think eBay is Macie's (or in the case of most the items I sell, the factory dealership), and after low balling you, will moan and cry about any and every real or perceived thing they can find because they do not have the discerning wisdom to read between the lines of the obvious reality in the listing, because every little thing has to be spelled out for them, and if its not they will accuse you as a seller of being dishonest because they don't have the intelligence to understand the unstated obvious. So...if you are a one percenter, this is for you.The item is as pictured and described, but it may be between 30 and 80+ years old and may look like the came out of Oscar the Grouches residence, being dusty/dirty, perhaps even having Charlotte's web inside, feasting on dead flies. They probably came from abandoned vehicles in ungodly locations, which means, they were left to the elements and rarely moved, so sun fading, wind chapping and who knows what else may have occurred. When they were moved, they were drug by chains and tow straps, or pushed by tractors(with a tire between them if they were careful) by tired dirty farmers who just wanted to get the vehicle out of their way. So by purchasing, the buyer acknowledges he has received pictures of all items, has seen they are rusty, dented, dinged, pitted, peeling, fading, cracking, torn, deteriorated, smelly, dirty, bug and web infested used parts off of old vehicles that were abandoned to the elements and may even have the afore mentioned damage/rust/etc. that may not have been visible as with personal inspection, however, buyer has inspected pictures to their satisfaction, calculated their fitment and application, and has negotiated prices on these parts. No returns, guarantees, warrantees, charge backs, or refunds have been expressed or implied. All said, the buyer realizes if I'm selling it, its nothing short of a miracle the item being purchased made it this far! Are we clear?So no whiners! Furthermore, I am not Sax 5th Ave, Nordstrom, Macie's, JC Penny's, Sears, Napa, Auto Zone, the local car dealership, or even Amazon, which means your item will not come with a card, a bow, ribbon, tissue paper, pillow box, or even a new box...for your purchase, I will not be going to the UPS store to buy a new $4 box, I will be rummaging through the 20x20 room devoted to storing boxes upstairs in my metal grinding dirty, weld smoky, primer sanding dusty, paint overspray shop where I restore cars(and anything else I can find that is old and cool), the boxes will have been used to ship items at the very least once, but more than likely they will have been used so many times to ship that if they had frequent flier miles they would have earned a free trip around the world. Also, if its a corrugated box its fair game, which means the boxes may be old beer/wine/liquor boxes(from coping with the 1%ers), oil boxes, or from misc small appliances/tools; and may have been previously used to store parts, pack tools, or even as a temporary table to hold items during the primer/paint process of automotive restoration. Which means, if the boxes still somewhat resemble a rectangle, no matter their painted color, or previous use, they are fair game to ship your item. The same goes for packaging material, I will not be going to Upscale Mail to purchase new packing peanuts for $3, which means for packaging material you can expect, depending on the item shipped and my current packaging supply; old crumpled Harbor Freight tools ads, news paper, construction materials packaging, including but not limited to, cardboard, paper, plastic, plastic bags, old broken styrofoam from tool packaging, empty water bottles, my old sweaty T shirts, old insulation, straw bales, tumbleweeds, dandelion fluff, or anything else I deem acceptable by my discernment to reasonably get the item to you in one piece, through the shippers "drop ship" attitude. Now I proudly affront the 1%ers with the spirit of a puffed chestedWeird Al Yankovic singing Superhero eBay Pooowwwweeerrrr Seelllleeerrrr!Fighting for reasonableness & discernment in purchasing old junque' for all!
