Description

This is an extremely solid. original and almost totally rust free 1955 Ford Crown Victoria that has had the same owner for the last 45 years to present. With 99K original miles. it is in desperate need of a nice paint job but has been well maintained and updated through the years. It does not have any dents or poor body work. and to my knowledge. has never been in a serious accident. The driver's door was replaced many years ago from a fender bender. Motor runs smoothly. does not smoke. and has no unusual knocks/noises (please see video). The transmission shifts well and it drives straight. Although it has been started and driven occasionally at regular intervals. it has basically been garaged for the last 35 years. The interior was re-done in quality material and is still in very presentable condition with no rips. tears or any real visible signs of wear. There are not any signs of rust on the body. that I can see. except minor surface rust on the dog legs (again see photos). Even the underside is very clean. All the chrome badges. medallions. scripting have been replaced with new. not too many years ago. There is no pitting on any of the chrome including bumpers. headlight eyebrows. hood ornament. etc. The original Ford fender skirts. with chrome guards in very nice dent free condition. nbsp;are included. The spots on the crown are dust that I neglected to wipe off before taking the photo. NOTE: I PUT THIS CAR UP ON A LIFT AND TOOK VERY DETAILED PHOTOS OF THE UNDERSIDE. ALL OF THESE AND OTHER DETAILED PHOTOS OF FREQUENT PROBLEM AREAS. ON THIS YEAR FORD. ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IF YOU MESSAGE ME. I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER SO WE CAN EXCHANGE EMAILS. AND I WILL SEND YOU ALL OF THESE PHOTOS. AS I AM LIMITED TO 25 PHOTOS ON THIS LISTING. WHICH I HAVE ALREADY POSTED. I KNOW YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT HOW SOLID AND RUST FREE THIS CAR IS! Here is a list of things that have recently been done to the car: 1) New heater control valve 2) New alternator 3) New crank shaft pulley 4) New pulley belt 5) New fuel pump 6) New wheel brake cylinders 7) New brake lines/hoses 8) Rebuilt used transmission 9) New input shaft bearing 10) New clutchNOTE: We have many. many more photos available upon request!VIDEO OF MOTOR RUNNING:Crown Video The Bad: The car needs a paint job badly. It was haphazardly spotted with gray primer. as seen in photos. making it look really bad. The headliner has come apart at a seam. above the rear seat. The steering box should be replaced at some point. as in my opinion. it has too much play. There are a few dings in the side moldings. One small piece of molding. passenger fender side of grill surround has come off. We just noticed that that the drivers side window has a crack in it. All the other glass is in excellent condition. (I see this glass listed for $45. on ebay) ( eBay item number: 301100749330 ) Although I did my best to get some underside photos of the car by crawling underneath. upon request. I have access to put the car up on a lift for more detailed underneath photos. Also. you are welcome and encouraged to come inspect and test drive the car. Of course. I would expect serious inquiries only! Payment: A $300 immediate. nbsp;non-refundable down payment is required via Pay Pal upon auction end. The remainder is due before vehicle is picked up. Shipping is your responsibility. Although this vehicle has not been on any long distance drives for many years. I believe that this car could be driven home with you. This is upon your discretion.
