Description of 1948 Ford Other

Watch video above and below for a close look at the car.
1949 Ford Tudor Custom barn fresh project car.
This is a great car with so much potential. It has both "goods" and "bads" but overall a wonderful time capsule.
I rolled this car out of a barn in Illinois where it has been stored for 30 years. Sat on a concrete slab so it has a very SOLID underbody for the most part. There has been some steel patch panels installed in a couple of places up front on the floor pan. Done well back in the day.
This is a great car! They do NOT pop up like this very often!! I just don't have the time right now for it.
Flathead V8 fires right up! Holds STRONG oil pressure. Settles into a nice idle and seems VERY strong! However it needs a good carb cleaning and proper tune up. 3 speed trans shifts with GREAT clutch! New battery, leaned gas tank and installed fresh fuel. All Lights work. Gauges ALL work.
Brakes pump up and car has good pedal but will need complete brake system looked at prior to driving.
Exhaust needs some work (lots of pin holes, uffler blown out and so on).
Tires are "Maypops" and VERY VERY DRY and pretty well bad but hold air long enough to load it and move it around.
Everything is here. Nothing missing! Clear Illinois title. Owner was the 2nd owner. He had owned it since 1996 and his brother bought it brand new. Never left that county it's entire life. Still have the original license plate for it.
Car was repainted its original color in the early 1970's and there was some bondo/rust repair in various places on the car but not a bondo bucket. Mainly thin, kin coats and a few spots on the lower quarters. They did a great job back then and this car wouldn't take much to be paint ready.
