Description

This is a project of mine that I don’t have time to continue. I have practically all the parts, might be missing a few miscellaneous parts, but this did drive on it’s own when I purchased it.

This is all original except the motor. It has a Thriftpower I-6 motor from an early Ford Mustang. Motor runs fine, but it is longer than stock. Previous owner cut out the firewall to make space. With my young kids, I don’t have the time to learn how to properly recreate the firewall.

I primed the hood, grill, fenders, and windshield frame as they were good enough for me to paint. The tub was sandblasted for me to work on and covered in a car cover while not working but general humidity has caused surface rust all over. Will be easy to remove once ready to work on it again. Metal top has not been touched. I might have the original dash but I have a custom made dash using all original gauges with slots for modern rocker switches. I do have the tailgate in the garage.

All other parts that I pulled off are in the garage (steering wheel, starter, bracketry, etc.). I do have a new Painless wiring kit, gauges, etc. that I purchased but never got around to installing. Mounted tires are not useable but tires stored in cab I believe are the same size and can be swapped over.
