1964 Ford Fairlane 500 on 2040-cars

1964 Ford Fairlane 500 four door sedan.  This car was stored in a dairy barn since 1979.  The gentleman that originally owned the vehicle replaced the original 260 V8 engine with a 289 Special that he had acquired from a wrecked low mileage 65-66 Mustang.  The reason he changed the engine was because the original 260 threw its oil pump through the oil pan.  The car has not run since 1979 and appears to be very solid.  The floors and the trunk compartment are solid with no rust through.  The front fenders have some minor rust holes coming in the lower sections.  The inner fender at the battery box is rusted out, but all the shock towers are solid with not signs of visible rust.  The left rear quarter panel was damaged in the late 1970s, and the owner attempted to beat the fender back out.  There is no sign of rot in the rear quarters.  The under carriage including all boxed framing appears to be solid and complete.  There are some parts missing from the car and I have no idea what the gentleman did with the parts.  The parts that are missing from what I can see is the master cylinder, power steering pump, headlight bezels, hubcaps, spare tire, jack, and the grille.  Although there is a grille in the trunk which is in good condition, it appears the grille is from a 1963 Fairlane rather than the 64.  There is an extra set of taillights in the trunk as well as a few other parts that goes with the vehicle.  All of the glasses are in good shape, but the exhaust system has deteriorated.  The car is not running and has not been started since 1979, so please be advised that this is not a vehicle that someone can drive away.  It will require towing and time to get it back into running condition.  I am including enough pictures to give an accurate depiction of the overall condition of the vehicle.  Please take the time to study the pictures and ask questions prior to bidding.  All questions will be answered honestly and as accurately as possible.
