Vehicle description
1938 Ford 2 Door for Sale - $10,500 OBO
The body and interior of the car were restored 16 years ago. The paint and upholstery are still in excellent condition. Actually it was driven very little after being restored because the motor had problems. The remaining issues are mostly mechanical. They are that the frame is rusted threw in 2 places and the front floor section needs to be replaced; The brakes need to be converted to hydraulic; And the rear end gears need to be changed.
The tires are new All State white walls All the glass is good, as is most of the chrome and stainless.
I discovered the motor, frame and other problems after buying the car in 2002. Since then the car has been garaged, and I have been getting the parts to finish restoring it. The following is a partial list of needed items I have for the restoration.
1. A very good frame from a 1937 Ford 2 door car. This is a rolling chassis complete with transmission, rear end, steering and exhaust system. See pictures
2. A 1950 Ford 8BA motor that has had all machining done and is ready to be assembled, with new bearings, pistons, clutch, gaskets, etc. See picture.
3. A hydraulic brake conversion from a 1939 Ford, having a peddle assembly with master cylinder, backing plates, brake shoes and drums. You would need the hydraulic brake lines to complete the conversion.
4. The rear ends of both the 38 car and 37 chassis have V8 60 gears, but I acquired a banjo section from an 85 hp Ford rear end to convert one to the lower ratio.
5. Some of the other new parts included are gas tank, radiator, under hood and dash wiring harness, carburetor, and numerous other parts needed to finish the restoration. Plus lots of extra parts. See pictures of shelves of parts.
The reason I am selling the car is because of my age, ,and I may not be able to finish the restoration.
This car would be a good project for someone able to spend the time and effort, without spending much more money to finish it.
Please contact me with any questions or if more pictures are needed
