Condition:   Not Running but salvageable
Originality:   All parts are factory authentic for the car

Accessories included:   unknown

Notes:
An extremely rare car - only 295 were built before Edsel production was shut down.  It needs total restoration of all components.  It is mostly complete, the rear bumper is in the trunk.

The engine and transmission are all there and original, but the engine is apparently stuck.  It has not run for at least 15 years.  Plan on having to rebuild everything.

The vehicle is very straight, but will require extensive rust repairs in the trunk pan, floor pan, and lower rear quarter panels.  There is no hidden Bondo and most of the paint is original except for the hood and deck lid which came off a white car.  You will need a parts car to donate the sheet metal necessary to restore this car, unless you want to make it into a street rod and don't require originality.

The pot metal is in good condition in general, most pieces have minor pitting.  The driver side turn signal housing was broken, and the passenger side rear quarter moulding fell off the car and was lost.  Both rear quarter panel letters "L" are missing.
