Year: 1959	This sale is for two cars.  Firstly, I have a partially restored Edsel convertible, and secondly I am including a rust free Edsel Western body tub for body parts. Almost everything needed to finish her is here.  Included are lots of expensive re-chromed parts including the two front bumpers, front headlight housings (one has an imperfection in the housing), and the rear bumper (The bumpers are very well done and certainly show quality).  Most of the trim is with the car and in very nice shape.  I have pictures of the trim next to the car to give you an idea.  The horse collar looks very nice but is cracked.  A new-in-the-box white convertible top is included with this car.  (If you need a convertible top for a 59 Edsel or compatible car, I have an extra white one for sale.) The motor turns over 360 degrees with difficulty indicating that she is nice and tight and typical of a high compression motor or a rebuilt motor.  I was told this is a 303-horsepower 361 cid, but I don’t know for sure. (If you know how to tell a 361 cid from other Ford models please let me know.)  I was also told it is rebuilt but I don’t have any paperwork to verify that.  I don't want to start the car because it has sat for 25 years like this and I am afraid I'll damage the transmission (OK, a local tranny guru in my town says I should remove the trans and roll it on its sides and top to re-lube the upper seals before starting the motor.  If you know better I’d be glad to hear your opinion on the topic of starting a motor after the trans hasn’t been used in more than two years.  The trany guy says a transmission may sit and get dried out on the upper seals so that when the motor spins up these seals may get damaged and then in a short time the trany may go out.) The radiator has been redone as well as the gas tank.  I absolutely believe the motor is fine and will run with some attention.  No oils were used to free it up or anything like that.  The interior is all there, like seats and door panels, and they are in surprisingly condition.  Some dimples exist in the upholstery from parts lying in the car but they should shrink out of the material when exposed to some nice hot sunlight.  The rear seat has a bad spot but is hard to notice.  I owned the car a long time before I even saw the imperfection in the seat.  The upholstery is kind of dirty but should clean up really nice.  The convertible top frame and hydraulics are intact.  The header bow is quite nice and the chrome accent on the top of the header bow is terrific.  The floors and rockers are great, as they have been worked on in the early stages of restoration.  As you can see the trunk floor is out of the car, but no matter, as I am including an entire western 59 Edsel tub to fix this problem.  The tub is utterly rust free except for some little holes in the trunk floor.  You have the choice of a complete re-body or just filling in the missing trunk and quarters.  The frame is crusty but absolutely solid.  The car rolls easily.  In spite of the dismantled appearance of this car I think it will go together nicely.  Please feel free to call and make an offer.

Year: 1959	For starters this is a low miles car with around 50,000 current and total miles.  The car has had extensive restoration done to her.  I have pictures of the body off restoration in progress.  She runs, drives, handles and brakes excellent.  There is no active body rust or bubbling paint anywhere on this machine.  When the car was restored, any rust was eliminated and new metal was installed.  The restoration went on many years as a side project and a labor of love.  In the end a few things were never completed.  Firstly the new paint needs a good buff job, next the driver window is cracked, and finally the bumpers need to be rechromed.  The bumpers are straight and ready to go to the re-chromer.  I am pricing this car at for a quick sale.

Year: 1959	Restorable 1959 Ranger located in Spring Lake, NC.  This car has been sitting for 15 years outside, and has not been run in that time.  The body is in decent condition, with surface rust.  There is no horrible rot-through anywhere - just surface rust, but it has absolutely no accident damage.  The stainless is good and complete, except for front hood chrome.  The chrome is pitted, but presentable with chrome polish.  All glass is original factory FoMoCo with no cracks, but the rear windshield has been smashed out.  The engine still turns over, it just needs work.  This car is not badly gone.  The car has dual mirrors and a factory radio, but the antenna has been broken off.  The interior is rough.  The front seat could be saved while the back seat needs to be completely replaced because of the smashed window. Please give this Edsel a new loving home!  It needs to be saved as it will just continue to weather inside and out if it stays there! Contact Al Vizachero at 1700 Little River Road, Spring Lake, NC or phone at (910) 497-1835.  It's the massive Volkswagen Repair Shop behind the Kangaroo in the Fort Bragg area.

Year: 1959	Two 1959 Edsels.  Both are Located in Brook Park, Ohio (near Cleveland) - a black 1959 Edsel Ranger 4-door sedan and a cream 1959 Edsel Corsair 4-door sedan. Will be sold individually (or together for a deal, make an offer) The Black Ranger’s VIN is C9UF717049.  It is in restorable original condition, and is a complete car.  292 cu 3-speed on the column, all engine components are present, engine turns over but wont start (it’s not getting any spark, and may need points and condenser).  All trim is present.  All lenses and lights are present and all windows are nice and roll up an down.  The interior needs cleaned but is decent, front seat has a rip in it.  The door panels are nice, and headliner has a couple holes but not too bad.  Floor pans seems solid as does the frame, not rust through on body, but it has a lot of surface rust and scratches.  I also noticed someone used bondo to fill some trouble areas in the trunk floor and rear portion of the rockers.  Other than that body seems to be pretty solid.  It would be a nice driver with some engine work and paint.  I’m asking $2900 for it. The Cream Corsair's VIN is B9US743261.  It is in good original shape, and is a complete car.  361 cu automatic, all engine components are present, engine turns over but also won't start.  The interior is original and very nice and clean, seats are nice, the door panels are nice and clean, and headliner is very nice, still looks new.  Floor pans seem solid as does the frame, body seems and looks solid.  It’s a decent driver right now.  With a coat of paint and little motor work it would be very sharp.  I’m asking $3800 for it. For more pics or questions e-mail Dennis@imitalent.com or call 216-267-5472 8am-7pm (Ohio time).  If I’m not in leave me a message and I’ll get right back with you.
