1955 Ford 2 Door Club Sedan. A True Barn Find! 99% Complete. on 2040-cars

Offered at auction is my 1955 Ford 2 Door Club Sedan. eBay does not offer a "Club Sedan" model so I had to list it in the 'Crown Victoria" section. It is NOT a Crown Victoria but the Club Sedan which the Crown Vic model is based on. I recently purchased this highly collectible automobile with the intent of restoring it to it's original beauty. I have since realized that I have too many projects (1946 Chevrolet Truck, 1953 Chevrolet Truck, 1977 GMC Desert Fox, 1964 Honda 300 Dream, etc.) so my time line for restoring this classic is years down the road. Rather than store it I am offering it for auction and hope the new owner will bring it back to it's original condition.

Rust is an issue with this car. There are small rust areas on the front fenders but not serious. The headlight eye brows are in GREAT SHAPE with no rust issues at all. The rocker panels are in good condition. Interior floor boards will need replacing or repair. Rear quarter panels are in need of replacement. You can purchase replacement quarter panels on eBay for $165.00 each. That is very affordable USA made fenders that make this a VERY restorable classic. Try that with a 55 Chevy and you will spend tens of thousands just in parts. The engine is the original 272 V8 "Y" engine (highly collectible itself) and turns freely. The frame is in good condition as well as under the hood. There are no major rust issues with the engine compartment, frame, etc. All of the chrome trim is complete and mostly in good condition. The windshield and rear glass are in good condition as well as the rear passenger glass. Both driver and passenger door glass will need to be replaced. I have not been able to open the trunk (no key but have the original ignition key) so I am not sure what is in the trunk or the condition of the trunk floor but you should assume it needs to be replaced. I can see the spare tire and the driver door interior panel in the trunk area (through the rear seat springs into the trunk area). The previous owner "thinks" the oil bath air filter is in the trunk but I honestly don't know yet. I'll try and get a locksmith out here and get the trunk opened in the next few days. I have all four steel rims AND all four original hub caps. Tires are shot (but I did put two new rear tires on it just to be able to load it on my trailer). Brakes are shot (I assume). Transmission shifter is hooked up and appears to shift through all positions and "park" does work to keep the car from rolling.

The car is located in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma (50 miles south of Oklahoma City) and I encourage you to take a look prior to bidding if at all possible. I live in the Oklahoma City area so prior arrangements will need to be made so I can meet you to show the car.

I have taken a lot of photos of the car and will post as many as possible on the Ebay listing. I can send you additional photos if you request them. I have a very modest reserve set on this car so bid to own. I require a $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit (weeds out the non serious bidders) within 24 hours of the auctions' end so  be sure you are serious about buying it if you win the bid. The balance is due within 7 days and payable only by cash or wire transfer. I will help load the car on a trailer for transport and will help the winning bidder to arrange transport if needed BUT I can not deliver the car since my job will prevent me from taking the time off. I understand the complications of buying a vehicle on eBay and trust me I will do everything possible on my end to eliminate the headaches of such a transaction. In other words I can and will work with you to make this as pleasant a transaction as possible. You can reach me at (405) 328-4309 between 8:00 AM CDT and 8:00PM CDT or through the eBay route. Thanks for looking and good luck. Yes, I will answer any question as best I can and as honestly as I can and as fast as I can.
