1950 Ford Deluxe Fordor Sedan

1950 FORD DELUXE FORDOR SEDAN

77,000 original miles, Sheridan blue with gray cloth interior, one family ownership since my grandfather bought this car new, in my possession since 1993, no accidents or body damage ever, stored for 30 years before $40,000 frame-off restoration completed in 1996 at about 60,000 miles, carefully maintained since then, shown occasionally and driven at least weekly. Car is currently registered in Maryland with clean title. Always garaged, currently kept in heated / air-conditioned garage.

Dennis Carpenter-rebuilt flathead V-8, NOM but correct 1950 8BA motor with hardened valve seats (runs on unleaded gas), 100 HP, 3-speed trans with overdrive. All body, frame, paint, mechanical and electrical work complete; high-quality, original style LeBaron-Bonney interior showing no wear. All restoration work documented with receipts and photo album. Car is all stock and original with exception of seat belts (welded floor mounts), outside rearview mirrors and Coker whitewall radials for driving safety. No factory options except heater / defroster. Clutch, brakes, battery, suspension components (shocks & idler arm) and radiator hoses done within the past couple of years. New windshield; all other glass is original Ford script and very good condition.Some spare parts (carburetor, NOS oil pump, generator, etc.) included, along with owner's and service manuals.

The overdrive operates properly when cold but sometimes does not always shift into OD when hot; this does not bother me because I do not do much highway driving. Otherwise everything works as it should and the car is in excellent overall mechanical and cosmetic condition. This car is a turnkey driver that starts and runs reliably, steers and stops straight, and needs nothing.

THE RESERVE IS $12,000. No trades. No international sales. Feel free to ask questions before bidding, and I will provide prompt, honest answers. I am a private seller, not a dealer or broker, so no financing or time payment requests please. $500 non-refundable deposit required within 5 business days of auction closing; balance by electronic transfer or cashier's check due within 10 additional business days. Will deliver locally (DC metro area).

Thanks for looking!
