!959 Ford has rare fe motor with solid lifters and adjustable rockers from Ford. Engine is stuck, but I have just taken heads off, rare machined combustion chambers, and I am sure I can get it apart. I do not know if it needs to be bored yet, but I would figure a bore job and new pistons. Also it would accept a 390 crank. I have almost all straight stainless for car except bottom drivers side rear quarter and top of left front fender and left front door. It needs a right door skin floor patched in front where your heals are at. both inner rockers outer rockers. bottom of left and right quarters and some inner quarter repairs floor pans in rear seat are ok.I have seat covers out of an inca gold convertible interior (used) but nice. Remove inca gold material and sew red as interior was red and black. The inca gold seat covers are originally abc interior. White and black is as new. Door panel have original red and black poor cond. and pretty fair ones out of 2 door sedan 59 original. It has a cruiseomatic trans cond. unknown. Scored windshield in two spots extreme left of windshield. It is not in frontal view ,but to one side. I will polish out some. I have repairable front fenders for car as well as front and back rechromeable bumpers. Bumpers on car are very poor.Dash and column have been disassembled some what, but I believe parts are all in the car. Car has factory power steering. I have a pump for the engine, but it is not on the engine.Both washboards are shot as are the front fender clamshells.The glass I believe to be all good except for scored windshield which may or may not be acceptable to you. I can find no holes in the frame. I restored a 59 convertible 20 years ago and this one is much better then the one I did and I am still driving it today. It is a project. The car has no wiper motor on it, I have a vaccum wiper motor for it. Has a town and country radio which I have no idea if it functions, electric clock also. Five steel rims. Call if you have questions. Also will deliver car and and parts for 1.00 a mile. Car is for sale locally.THANKS FOR LOOKING PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS IT IS A PROJECT ,BUT HAS REAL POTENTIAL TO BE A SPECIAL CAR. SERIOUS BIDDERS PLEASE, THANK YOU AND MAY ALL YOUR CARS BE FAST AND BEAUTIFUL.
On Oct-10-13 at 21:36:47 PDT, seller added the following informat. . about the engine if you build it right the right cam crank pistons etc. you can have over 400 hp it does not have 400 hp now not even close nor does . I would gladly visit with anyone that would like to discuss these issues. These are ideas for this project not an actual fact. I can add to this add before someone bids I can not change the wording of the description, but hopefully this makes it clear , I believe it is a rare 58- 332cu in with solid lifters and machined high port heads. I am checking to see if I am correct with someone that should know these things. I could be wrong but I do not think I am at present.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
