1959 ford

Gentlemen.. fellow wagon lovers. Need your opinions and feedback on this one. I know it needs flat floor pans, windshiled and who knows what else considering the wagon has sat for who knows how long. Top half of engine was removed years ago. Assuming it needs everything. I have been looking for something like this to put back on the road ever since I had to let my 59 villager go a few years ago. I know it's rough and a project, but stuff like this is hard to come by in my area. Thanks!

 

Looks like honest rust, from here. Kentucky makes it possible. I'd wait awhile, until he gets desparate to sell. Too much he's not mentioning, right now.

 

You can't tell much by only one picture, and virtually no description. And given that, he's asking about double what it looks like it's worth.

 

One picture=$500

 

as "maybe" just a parts car. Just saying but bringing this one back, I'd say it would be cheaper in the long haul to spend the $ upfront and get something that is done/finished or at least drivable ( with a title also)

 

These are the only other 2 pictures that they provided. Pretty solid body actually, and I have found a way to get the title process started. Pretty neat car, but I still think the price is WAY off. I'm not looking to restore the wagon, just bring it back to life on the road.. but again, that would be a huge challenge for sure.

 

With that being said... I might go look at it. Like I said, there is nothing of the sort around my parts.

 

NEVER hurts to look and judging by the pictures there's more stuff out there. I will go check things like this out in my area just to make acquaintances. the more people you know the easier it is to track down valuable resources or ideas for future projects

 

The price is indeed a little steep, despite the 3000 bills being printed without precious metal backed dollars. Most annoying is that for that price parts are missing. Despite that, it's likely he could get that much for it, being that the rust is little and honest and, from what I can see, very few dents. That alone saves plenty of work and time. Both of which are real money.

You could try using that argument for bargaining on the price. It's likely that he doesn't really care about how far you intend on taking the proposed project, though.

 

What's the other longroof sitting next to it, is it a second 59 Ford? It looks like it!

 

It's a twin wagon in much worse shape.
