Ford Mainline 1959 for sale
Current customer rating: (295 votes ) based onTHIS CAR IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE NEW STILL DRIVES WELL BUT NOT AS OFTEN AS I WOULD LIKE
HAS BEEN GARAGED MOST OF ITS LIFE BUT OVER THE LAST YEAR IT HAS SAT OUTSIDE UNDER A TARPAULINE AND I CAN NOT BEAR TO SEE IT WASTE AWAY
IT NEEDS A PAINT JOB . A GOOD TUNE AND AN AUTO SERVICE BUT FOR ITS AGE IT IS IN GOOD CONDITON.
The motor was completely stripped down back in 1987 and re built to original condition since then it has only done 60. 000 miles drives well but has a dead spot on take off hence a good tune is needed it also has an exhaust manifold leak which I found was a common problem with the car I have had the old cast iron exhaust manifolds replaced 4 times over the life of the car. I have had an electric fuel pump installed to stop vaporisation of fuel on hot days.
The front end was rebuilt with gen. Ford parts back in 1998
Drum brakes work and have been overhauled new cylinders etc back about 6 yrs ago. The auto transmission and diff are all original and never had to be removed. they are due for a service.
The outside paint work was stripped back to bare metal back in 1998 where the rust was cut out and replaced with metal sections with a skim of filler to finish it off. The paint job was not A one but it did tidy it up. The body work is good but does now need some work to be done on it. and the paint has started to crack and peel off the roof near the gutter rail. ee pictures. Interior is in good condition. I had the seat re sprung and reupholstered in 2000 and is still in excellent condition. he dash has never been touched or resprayed and is in very good condition. ith the original valve radio and clock . The Hood lining has some small holes at the rear of the cab the trims around the doors need replacing. The gauges work and the wipers are still on vacuum a bit slow going up hills.
Could not get a replacement rubber mat so had to install carpet.
The car has always been registered and is current at the moment with Victoria Reg until Oct. 2013.
I could not see to much trouble with getting a roadworthy certificate. the only problem being trying to keep the original plates if it goes interstate.
As the car has been in storage on and of for the last ten years it has not had much use.
We do get it out and use it for Wintersun / Cooly Rocks.
Hope this ansews most questions if not keep them coming.
Thanks John
