This is a great car to restore. The sheet metal is great -but it has been sand blasted in the past and not primed. As a result, it is covered with surface rust.
Some comments:
---Title - a clear Minnesota title.
---Front fenders - great - no weld, no breaks, no rust thru, and I found no dents.
---Rear fenders - very nice, no weld, no breaks, I found no dents, but there is some rust holes ins the area where the fender attaches to the body, right above the running board splash aprons. I believe these can be easily covered and
hidden.
---Hood - also very nice - no weld, no breaks, no dents, all surfaces look straight.
---Doors - nice - no dents, no holes in the bottoms -- applies to both doors.
---Cowl - very nice, no rust out, no weld, , solid - two holes drilled cleanly thru on both sides. Looks like there may have been an aerial attached at one time.
---Running Board splash aprons. - again, very nice - no weld, no rust out, I found no dents.
---Windshield frame - solid, no weld, no bends, no rust out on the bottom,
---Gas tank - nice - solid, no rust out, no dents that I could see, no weld.
---Body - some rust out on the lower part of the rear panel, near where the spare tire hanger sits - it is largely hidden by this bracket.
Otherwise, both side panels, the back panel, the two roof panels appear dent free, no weld, no holes
---Body parts behind rear wheels - there are frequently rust outs in these areas. On this car, I found none.
---Radiator cover - would be okay for a driver, but not for a show car, as there is significant rust. Recommend a replacement.
---Splash apron under radiator - pained, looks okay, no rust out or weld.
---Firewall - significant hole - could be where someone had a manifold heater. Needs a piece of metal welded, or bolted, in.
---Running boards -solid - will need new rubber covering, and new edge strips.
---Glass - all glass is present and looks ok. The windshield is some imperfections, and should be replaced for safety reasons alone as original Model A glass is very dangerous.
On all the other glass, I personally replaced all of it on the Tudor I restored because of safety reasons, but you make your own decision.
---Interior trim - looks like most, if not all, of the window trim is present. Only a couple of door and window handles present for the outside of the car.
---Dash rail - present, surface rust, but no extra holes. - very use able.
---Speedometer, amp meter, ignition cable, key - not present.
----Windshield wiper - vacuum wiper is present.
---Wood - is surprisingly solid - some/most of it may be useable, but the roof bows, one is warped.
----Seats - two front seats, and one rear seat is included. - The wood frames may be useable.
----Radiator - looks good, may be an original ( I'm not sure) but no serious gouges on it.
--- Motor - is stuck
---Generator, starter, carb, distributor, tranny, rear end, all are present, but need rebuilding.
---Horn - no horn present
---Tires - shot, all need replacing.
---Chassis - complete but rusted, needs sandblasting.
----Shocks - 4 shock bodies (stuck) and a couple of arms.
---Headlights - nice lenses, but the buckets may, or may not, be useable. I've seen worse, and I've seen better.
---Tail light - should be replaced
---Rear bumper bracket is broken, but there is a replacement bracket that goes with the car.
This would be an excellent car to restore. The chassis and motor should be all gone thru but the sheet metal is unbelieveably nice, for original items.
Typically, you would have to replace all 4 fenders and the hood, at a cost of $1500 +, but here there is no reed to replace them ( in my opinion)
Use the buy-it-now, or bid high, and get a good restoration project.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.
Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.
