1954 FORD CRESTLINE Description

This 54 Ford Crestline Convertible has 52k original miles. It has been in storage over 30 years. it is a V8 272 ci. 3 speed manual with overdrive. It is a very complete original car but it has had body work, floor repair, inner and outer rockers replaced, two body mounts replace, and other repaired. The frame has a new front crossmember. No other repairs needed on frame.. The two doors open and close like new, no drop or drag, with good door line. The hood needs adjusting as you need topull it forward as you lift. Hinges seem tight. the glass is all tinted and good but the windshield is scratched. The fuel tank has been clean, tested and paintedwith a new sending unit added and new fuel line installed. Rear brake lines replaced but not bleed. E-brakes works fine. There is no exhaust system on the car but it is a dual exhaust car. The original wiring to the rear lights was crack and bare, so has been cut and removed. The dash seems to work fine. things like lights, wipers, vents, heater motor turns on and off, radio not tested, even the clock works fine. The motor has had oil and filter changed, replaced hoses and belts. The radiator has been cleaned, tested and filled with antifreeze. The motor started when I first got it about 6 months ago but I only ran it for a few minutes as there is no exhaust system. There were no leaks except the heater core which I have a good replacement. The motor will need a good tuneup and it seems the fuel pump is not pumping now. I did not get a chance to check the oil pressure or the clutch.. The convertible top frame has nice original paint. It seems to be in good condition. The lift cylinder are rusty but I have new replacements. Also have a newhydraulic pump. I have keys for door, trunk and ignition. This car will need repairs but is a goodbuildable convertible. It has a clear MA title stating the car has 52Koriginal miles. This is verified through inspection records. The car will need to be hauled from MA 02769 This car will make a great Rat Rod or Project!!!!
