It's a dark green 4 door sedan.and the body is really straight with no visable rust.glass hasn't been shot out and the tail lights are even there.dash & gauges good, packrats been in the seat stuffing.if it was a hard top,it would be sitting next to my 55 crown in the garage.

Oh really. Thats cool. Maybe some day i will go through there. Can you send me some pics of it? Is it a 2dr or a 4dr? The motor is probably a 292.

too bad you were't coming through Kalispell Mt with a car trailer,there's a 55 merc with a real straight body in the woods near my house.would be a great car for parts or to restore.been sitting about 30 years and being on private property hasn't been vandelized,all glass still in it including perfect tail lights.the engine is yellow,maybe 256? I know the owners,ran when parked they pulled the rear-end out to repair& someone stole the radiator. hasn't run since. it's now a high end pack rat hotel.

I am doing them in reverse because it wouldn't do it in drive.

Why are you practicing your 'burnouts' in reverse?

The thing sure runs good. I'd spend some time trying to get rear quarters somewhat fixed up. That in itself is a pretty major task.  But the rest of the car don't look that bad. I'd sure give it a try.

Yeah, i was actually spinning the tire on a old license plate, haha.



Yeah, i could...but there is still alot of thing to do to get it road ready.



After i part it out, i want to get another 1950's Ford car, or maybe a old Ford truck.

LOL! I never noticed the chipmunk.



From what Ive read on the... "Whats YOUR age again" topic, i am the youngest. I will make a better video of my car next time i see it, one that shows the body, and interior in detail.

I didn't know it was possible to do a burnout in the mud.  I read your other post.  Don't part it, drive it and enjoy it.  - Buy some 18 gauge sheet metal and just do some quick patches.
