1925 Fordor engine #12210338.
I already have more into this than I will get out of it but that's the way things go sometimes.
The generator and switch panel were replaced and I bought the top of line ammeter as well.
In addition to that there are complete new wiring harnesses but have been wired only to run the car.
There is a new exhaust manifold (and the proper steel/copper rings) and ball bearing fan pulley.
The fella I bought this from had not run it for 25 years after having removied a boatload of small stuff (and some large stuff which I reassembled) to have the car painted.
He also installed a new top wood kit (did a nice job too) and I have the pad and top covering.
I was going to go with a stained underside for the roof which you can see in the one photo. Since then I decided I'm going to quit on it altogether. The plywood is screwed, not glued, to the framework so can be very easily removed.
I have the dome light and the door post switch is in the car. The wood door posts are solid......REAL solid.
He had put all new Coker tires on it too but skimped on tubes so it sat with flat tires which caused some crazing.
I had new, metal stemmed, tubes installed in all 4 tires.
I got a very good used cowl vent as the old one had the handle broken off.
The car obviously has no interior at all to speak of. I have the rear seat cushion and container full of misc. screws and such.
All the side windows should be replaced (should be anyway.......when plate glass breaks it isn't pretty).
The unobtainium rear, rear, window lifter brackets and rods came the car too.......which I discovered after unwrapping painted parts that had been wrapped up for 25 years......whew.
It runs on mag but an in-car magnet recharge would soup it up nicely.
Almost forgot, I have a new set of expensive hardwood floorboards and trim for the front too.
I should mention it's still winter here and getting the car out NOW will be difficult.......possible but a major struggle.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
2015 Ford Mustang stars in bizarrely awesome '80s aerobics video
Wed, 30 Apr 2014For reasons we can't comprehend, here's a music video starring the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang and a number of dancers dressed and styled in the most stereotypically 1980s way possible. The dancers then take part in a male-versus-female dance off. Again, we've no idea why it exists.
It's weird, and for the second time in two weeks, we're sat at our computer wondering, "What are we watching?" That said, it does show the new Mustang from a number of angles, and it's one of the first car-related YouTube videos we've seen that's available in a 4K, ultra-high-def stream.
Take a look below, and let us know what you think in Comments.
Ford exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower
Mon, Jan 26 2015Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.
